Welcome to the College of Engineering (COE) and Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN). The College of Engineering is the largest college in this university and we offer programmes at foundation and bachelor levels. The COE also collaborates with the College of Graduate Studies to offer programmes at Masters and PhD levels.

Our programmes are structured into semesters and are broad-based with a strong emphasis on basic fundamentals. Towards the end of your studies, you can choose the technical area you wish to specialize in. These specialized technical electives are courses that are of great demand and need by the industry and the nation at large. These are coupled with strong emphasis on development of soft skills such as communication, leadership and management, and nurturing humanitarian values to mould you into becoming a well-rounded and competent professional engineer in harmony with holistic societal values. We are committed to produce engineers who are career resilience, i.e. always equipping themselves with the latest tools, technology and skills to be able to adapt and are ever ready to apply them to any work environment.

The college staffs work hard to produce a unique and enriching learning experience for our students. Our programmes are accredited by Lembaga Akreditasi Negara (LAN) and the bachelor programmes are recognized by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). In order to ensure that all the bachelor programmes offered in the COE are relevant to the industry and in response to the requirement by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC), the Outcome Based Education (OBE) model is implemented in all the bachelor engineering programmes.

OBE requires that inputs from all stake-holders are sought in designing and reviewing the programmes curriculum. A clear statement of Program Educational Objectives (PEO) and Program Outcomes (PO) is required. In order to ensure that the quality of the programmes are continuously improved, a clear Continual Quality Improvement (CQI) system is utilized. It is a measurement of achievement of the outcomes while the students are in UNITEN. Then, after they have left the University the results are analyzed to continuously improve the quality of the programmes.
