WHERE PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING MEETS ENGINEERING COURSES, ONLY IN UOW MALAYSIA

BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRY DESIGN-CENTRIC CURRICULUM
Hands-on learning and real-world experience ensure our future engineers remain current and relevant. Through direct engagement with industry experts, development of real-world projects and exposure to current challenges, our students are grounded in actual practice—ready for a career in mechanical engineering and beyond. Engineering courses at UOW Malaysia emphasise a Design-Centric Curriculum (DCC), with Design Thinking as the grounding principle of teaching and learning. Students are required to engage in design assignments, Capstone projects and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to develop their skills in design, complex problem-solving, project management, teamwork, lifelong learning and complex communication.
