RESTRICTED Advanced Diploma in Mechanical Engineering

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 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.

In response to these issues, Curriculum Development and Evaluation Division of the

Department of Polytechnic Education has developed and introduced Advanced Diploma in
Mechanical Engineering programme for polytechnic. The programme aims to prepare
students with knowledge, skills and abilities necessary in the mechanical and manufacturing
industries with a specialization of mechanical maintenance.

Advanced Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is a specific qualification which

identifies an individual who has knowledge, technical skill, managerial abilities and more
complex and higher responsibilities than those expected at the diploma level. Several key
players from related industries have been involved in the curriculum development process to
ensure the curriculum content fulfills the industrial requirement. The programme takes three
semesters to complete.
