PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
For the past few decades, industries have evolved and progressed rapidly. The
Ninth Malaysia Plan was drawn in response to the current global needs and to enable
Malaysia to stay competitive in the world market. Thus, to keep abreast with rapid
technological advancements and evolving requirements in industries today,
Department of Polytechnic Education (DPE) constantly collaborates with major
industry players in the country in developing the respective curriculum. One of
the most important factors driving the growth of productivity is by having a
qualified and talented manpower in order for the industry to develop and remain
competitive in the world market. This is equally true in industries where there is a
rapidly growing demand for highly competent and technically savvy workforce. The
activities of many industries require increasingly competent technician in
engineering field, particularly in mechanical engineering.
In response to these issues, Curriculum Development and Evaluation Division of
the Department of Polytechnic Education has developed and introduced Diploma in
Mechanical Engineering (Automotive) for polytechnic. This programme aims to
prepare students with knowledge, skills and abilities necessary in the mechanical
engineering and automotive industries. To ensure the curriculum content fulfils the
industrial requirement, several key players from related industries have been
involved in the curriculum development process.
