Master of Science in Mechatronics Engineering (MEKM)

The Master of Science candidate is supervised by an academic staff (or a panel of supervisors) from the faculty. The directed research work will focus on a particular subject that introduces candidates to the processes by which new knowledge is developed or/ and applied accordingly. The specific topic of investigation will be agreed upon by the supervisor (or panel of supervisors) and the candidate. The academic progress of a candidate is assessed through a research. Progress Report submitted at the end of each semester. The degree is awarded based on an oral examination (viva- voce) of the thesis submitted by the candidate on completion of the study. Candidates intending to study by research may submit their application for admission throughout the year.

Academics Requirement:

1. A recognized Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering / Engineering Technology with minimum CGPA of 2.75 or its equivalent;
2. A candidate who has a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering / Engineering Technology, not meeting CGPA of 2.75 but above 2.50 or its equivalent, may be accepted subject to rigorous internal assessment.
3. A candidate who has a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering / Engineering Technology, with CGPA less than 2.50 , and a minimum of five (5) years working experience in relevant field can be accepted and subject to rigorous internal assessment.
4. A Bachelor’s Degree in Science or Technology (Not related to Engineering / Engineering Technology) must undergo appropriate prerequisite courses determined by UTeM and meet the minimum CGPA based on (i) to (iii).
