Description
Kuala Lumpur Infrastructure University College (KLIUC), established in 1999 as Ikram College of Technology and upgraded to university college status in 2003, is a prominent private Malaysian institution under Protasco Berhad, a Bursa Malaysia-listed company. Renowned for its focus on infrastructure-related disciplines, KLIUC serves over 3,000 students from diverse backgrounds, emphasizing practical engineering education, ethical leadership, and industry readiness. Located on a 100-acre green campus in Kajang, Selangor—conveniently between Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, accessible via the North-South Highway and KTM Komuter—KLIUC features state-of-the-art labs, workshops, libraries, and collaborative spaces, fostering innovation aligned with Malaysia’s Industrial Master Plan 2030 and UN Sustainable Development Goals. Accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) with ISO 9001:2008 certification, KLIUC offers ECTS-equivalent credits under the Bologna Process, ensuring global recognition and mobility through partnerships with universities like UNITEN.
KLIUC’s School of Engineering Infrastructure is a hub for mechanical education, delivering programs that address Malaysia’s manufacturing and energy sectors. The Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (MQA Code: MQA/FA 1234), a 3-year full-time qualification (180 ECTS-equivalent), is designed to meet the growing demand for skilled mechanical engineers in infrastructure development. This MQA-accredited diploma equips students with foundational knowledge in mechanical principles, design, and manufacturing, covering core modules such as engineering mathematics, mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design, and computer-aided engineering (CAE) using tools like AutoCAD and SolidWorks. The curriculum blends theoretical lectures with hands-on training in advanced workshops, emphasizing sustainable practices like renewable energy systems and automation. Experiential learning includes mandatory industrial training (6 months), lab projects, and collaborations with partners like Protasco Group, preparing graduates for roles in automotive, oil & gas, or construction as mechanical technicians, design drafters, or production engineers.
Graduates earn a versatile diploma recognized by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), with 90% employability within six months, and seamless progression to bachelor’s degrees like the Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Hons) at KLIUC or partner institutions.
Beyond the Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, KLIUC offers a comprehensive array of degrees, diplomas, and certificates across engineering and infrastructure fields. Foundational options include the Foundation in Engineering (1 year, 60 ECTS-equivalent), bridging SPM graduates to diploma levels, and short-cycle certificates in Basic Mechanical Workshop Skills (3-6 months) for entry-level technicians. Advanced diplomas, such as the Advanced Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (1 year post-diploma), focus on specialized areas like CAD/CAM or robotics. Bachelor’s degrees encompass the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Mechanical (4 years), integrating research projects and internships. Master’s programs, like the Master of Engineering Management, and postgraduate certificates in project management or sustainable engineering support executive upskilling, often HRD Corp-subsidized. These modular qualifications facilitate lifelong learning and international pathways through BEM accreditation.
Admission to the Diploma in Mechanical Engineering requires SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) with credits in Mathematics, Science/Additional Science, and English, or equivalent; mature candidates qualify via assessment. English proficiency (IELTS 5.5+) applies for internationals, with annual intakes in September via UPU Online, prioritizing merit-based selection.
KLIUC’s career services, alumni network, and industry expos connect graduates to opportunities in firms like Petronas and Gamuda. Committed to inclusivity, innovation, and technical excellence, KLIUC’s diplomas, degrees, certificates, and advanced qualifications in mechanical engineering empower students to drive infrastructure progress, making it Malaysia’s key hub for engineering education.
