Bachelor Of Microelectronic Engineering
with Honours

The programme curriculum which has been designed is aimed to render the needs of knowledgeable highly skilled engineers in parallel with Malaysian National Industrial Master Plan aspiration. The programme focuses on industrial exposure, through direct involvement with the industrial sector. This four years programme emphasizes on integrated circuit (IC) design and IC fabrication, which include semiconductor technology, microfabrication process technology, microelectronic reliability and failure analysis. In addition, the programme also covers semiconductor physics, Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) as well as IC packaging

Fields versus Skills

There is a high demand for highly skilled microelectronic engineers, both in the private sector as well as in the government, especially in IC design, fabrication and testing. Career prospect for the graduates are very promising.

Among the fields that may be ventured into by the graduates are:

  1. Semiconductor / Microelectronic Fabrication
  2. Fully embedded and Partial embedded Layout Design for digital, analogue, combination signal and RF-IC chips.
  3. Mask Design
  4. Application Specific ICs (ASICs) and Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI)
  5. MEMS Design
  6. Photonics Design
  7. VHDL-based Design
  8. Rapid Prototyping equipments for IC Production
  9. Process and Devices Simulation
  10. IC Packaging
  11. Reverse Engineering on ICs

Graduates from the Microelectronics Engineering programme possess an advantage as they can venture into not only the typical electronic sectors such as consumer electronics, manufacturing electronics and production electronics but also specialized semiconductor industries such as IC fabrication and IC design. In the private sector, electronic and semiconductor hubs are prominent in industrial areas such as in Kulim Hi-Tech park in Kulim, Kedah and in Penang. Major companies in Malaysia in the semiconductor field include Intel Technology, Silterra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. and Infineon Technologies, among others. Their career opportunities aren’t limited to the private sector but also extend to the public sector as well. In the public sector, Microelectronic Engineering graduates can serve within engineering schemes or in education, pursuing careers as lecturers at universities, colleges, polytechnics, Institutes of Vocational training (ILP), Malaysian Institutes of Skills (IKM) as well as in any institution focuses on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

Among the career opportunities for the graduates in the Microelectronics Engineering are as:

• Electronic Engineer
• Process Engineer / Microelectronics Fabrication Engineer
• IC Design Engineer
• Device Simulation Engineer
• IC Packaging Engineer
• Reliability and Failure Analysis Engineer
• Research and Development (R&D) Engineer
