Dean’s Foreword

Prof. Dr. Erry Yulian Triblas Adesta

Dean ‐ Kulliyyah of Engineering

International Islamic University Malaysia

The Kulliyyah of Engineering was established in 1994 to provide quality engineering education and research

with a goal to be “a world class centre for engineering education and research with values and ethics”. The

Kulliyyah has six (6) programme offering departments and the department of science in engineering, which

offers important fundamental courses for other departments.

The publication of this new Kulliyyah Undergraduate Prospectus is very timely due to the fact that the

Kulliyyah had just completed a comprehensive revision and improvement of all our undergraduate

programmes. The revised curriculum took into effect beginning Semester 1 2015/2016. Feedbacks from

various stakeholders were taken into account during the academic review process. The Kulliyyah is

implementing “the outcome based education” as required by the professional accreditation body.

Every year, we welcome hundreds of students of different backgrounds and nationalities who are keen to

pursue their studies in the most stimulating and intellectually Islamic environment. They have chosen IIUM for

many different reasons. The IIUM campus is known as the “Garden of Knowledge and Virtue”. The Kulliyyah

has a good combination of strongly qualified academic staff and highly experienced and skilful supporting

staffs. With excellent facilities available within the seven engineering buildings, I strongly believe that all

engineering students would venture into an unforgettable once‐in‐a‐lifetime journey.

Finally, I would like to congratulate and record my sincere appreciation to all staff involved in the publication

of this prospectus. May Allah SWT help us and give us the strength to fulfil our duties toward the Nation and

the Ummah.

June 1994 marked the opening of the Kulliyyah of Engineering, IIUM. Celebrating its 20th year anniversary in

2014, the Kulliyyah is now offering nine (9) degree programmes. With the vision to be a “world class centre of

engineering education and research with values and ethics”, the mission of the Kulliyyah of Engineering is to

provide quality engineering education, with sufficient scope to include fundamental and specialized knowledge

and practice in engineering. To cope with the strict demands of the national and global job market, efforts are

directed towards equipping the students with more than just the scientific background. This is fulfilled through

enhancing the graduates’ soft skills through courses such as occupational English language, management

sciences and credited co‐curricular activities, as well as a variety of seminars on presentation skills, internet

usage and literature survey.

In an effort to cope with recent trends in engineering education and to enhance the internationalization of the

graduates, the Kulliyyah has undertaken major steps towards Outcome Based Education (OBE) in accordance

with the Washington Accord. OBE is now applied for all programmes as well as at the course levels. Thus, the

educational process is planned towards achieving the targeted graduates’ qualities.

With the Kulliyah’s philosophy based on the systems approach, the engineering programmes offer an

integrated and comprehensive education that transcends the boundaries of various disciplines. This is

consistent with the Islamic concept of tawhid, which unifies the spiritual and physical aspects of life into a

harmonious continuity. Besides being professionally qualified and competent, the graduates will acquire

spiritual, intellectual, moral and ethical characteristics towards the development of an integral and

harmonious relationship with Allah (the creator), fellow human beings and with the natural environment. The

interdisciplinary approach to engineering education will not only allow the graduates to solve industrial and

human problems; it will also enable them to bring about and manage changes in conformity with the

worldview based on the principles of Islam.

of credit hours ranges from 138 to 140, depending on the specific degree programme, must be fulfilled prior to

receiving the Bachelor of Engineering Degree. The course structure can be categorized as follows :

University Required Courses

For the university required courses, students have to complete 12 credit hours of university general

studies courses (UNGS), 7 credit hours of language studies and 3 credit hours of co‐curriculum activities.

Kulliyyah Required Courses

As for the Kulliyyah required courses, this comprises of mathematics subjects offered by Department of

Science in Engineering and management courses offered by Kulliyyah of Economics and Managements

Sciences

Core and Elective Courses

In each specialized degree, students are required to choose at least 9 credit hours of the elective courses.


All undergraduate students of Kulliyyah of Engineering must undergo an industrial training in a relevant

industry/company during the short semester before they embark into their final year of studies.

Another feature of our curriculum is that first year courses are common to all students. They will take the

specialized programme of study during their second year.
