What is Civil Engineering?
The Department of Civil Engineering is dedicated to develop UNITEN's strong linkages with the industry especially through its parent company, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB). The Department offers a full-time undergraduate programme leading to the award of Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honors). Postgraduate programmes offered include Master of Civil Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy by research in the areas of geotechnical engineering, hydraulics and hydrology, structural engineering, environmental engineering, materials engineering, transportation engineering, GIS and construction engineering management.

The Department of Civil Engineering has a total of 11 laboratories with specialized facilities for teaching, research and consultancy services.
Course Duration
The
Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours) is a 4-year programme where
undergraduate students will study courses in civil engineering in the following
areas:
Mechanical Engineering
What is Mechanical Engineering? The Mechanical Engineering programme provides a strong base in the Mechanical Engineering with a well-established balance between theory and experiments during the four years of study. The curriculum consists of a good mix of general courses as well as core Mechanical Engineering courses. A total of 127 credit hours of courses being taught in 8 semesters and on average there are 5-6 courses per semester being taught. The programme also contains a compulsory Industrial Training attachment after semester 6 for a period of not less than 12 weeks. The idea of this attachment is to enable students to gain firsthand experience in industry as well as an insight to how theories are put into practice in the real engineering situations. This short attachment in industry was beneficial as it provides the intellectual challenge to students especially in the final year and when carrying out their final year project.

Electronics and Communication Engineering
The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering offers courses:
Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Hons.)
The Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic programme is designed to prepare students for professional careers and higher advancement in the area of communication, electronics, computers, VLSI, signal processing and other related areas. The curricula for the undergraduate programmes require a strong foundation in mathematics, calculus, physics and computers. Students are also required to take languages and other courses from other departments intended to produce well-balanced graduates.
Career Options
Graduates are able to pursues a wide range of careers such as maintenance/operation engineer, design engineer, project engineer, consulting engineer, instrumentation & control engineer, electrical/electronic system engineer, manufacturing engineer, communication engineer, research/test engineer or academician.
Bachelor of Computer and Communication Engineering (Hons.)
The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering is now offering a new course called Bachelor of Computer and Communication Engineering (Hons.). It is an engineering degree similar to our other sought after core engineering degrees. This course will set one to embark on a career in the ever dynamic telecommunication industry as well as power industry which converges with the telecommunication industry in materializing "the SMARTGRID".
The programme is conducted in a full-time, semester basis spanning eight (8) semesters which is equivalent to 4 calendar years. During these times, students follow a series of courses (totally 127 credit hours), inclusive of a Capstone Design Project, an industrial internship and a Final Year Project. The internship takes up one short semester.
Career Options
With the increased demand in the computer and communication sectors, it is envisaged that many of the BCCE graduates will be able to pursue a wide range of careers such as design engineers, project engineers, network engineers, maintenance/operation engineers, consulting engineers, instrumentation & control engineers, electronic system engineers, communication engineers, research/test engineers or academicians. Uniten achieved an over 82% of employability rate for the year 2011 this means more than 82% of the graduates of Uniten managed to secure a job within 6 months after graduation.
Electrical Power Engineering
The
Department of Electrical Power Engineering is established to develop
the advantage of its strong link with the Electricity Supply Industry
through the parent company, Tenaga Nasional Berhad. The department
consists of young energetic academicians as well as experienced
practising engineers in various fields of Electrical Power Engineering.
The department offers programmes leading to the award of Bachelor of
Engineering, B.Eng. (Electrical Power).
The
curricula for the undergraduate programmes require a strong foundation
in mathematics, physics and computer. Courses in electrical and
electronics engineering begin in the first year after foundation
programme. The courses include topics such as electrical circuit
analysis, electronics, digital system, microprocessor, electromagnetic
fields, electrical machines and drives, power systems, power electronics
and high voltage technology. Laboratory sessions reinforce the
principles learnt in the classroom which include electrical measurement
techniques, application of non-linear devices, digital logic design,
signal processing, microprocessor, electrical machines and power
electronics. Many engineering courses are classified as design courses
and complemented by computer aided engineering software as simulation
and design tools.
Career Options
The
programme is designed to prepare students to become professional
engineers and industry leaders. The graduates can carve a career in a
diverse range of areas in industries such as electricity supply,
petroleum, automotive, chemicals, processing, aerospace and many others.
Electrical Power engineers are engaged in a variety of activities
including design, manufacturing, research, development, testing,
construction, operation, sales, management, consulting and teaching.
Malaysia received Outstanding Chapter Award from IEEE Power Engineering Society at Pittsburgh, USA
The award presentation was made on the 22nd of July 2008 at the IEEE PES General Meeting in Pittsburgh, USA. Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) staff, Associate Prof. Ir. Dr. Zahrul Faizi bin Hussien as the Chapter Chair accepted the award on behalf of the IEEE PES Malaysia.
