Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering Technology Naval Architecture with Honours

The bachelor of mechanical engineering technology(navalarchitecture) with honours was first offered in the semester session 2020/2021 and is the first engineering technology programme offered by umt. This program has been accredited by the malaysia board of technologists(mbot). This programme is offered full-time and takes four (4) years or eight (8)semesters which includes a minimum of 140 credithours graduate. 

Mechanical Engineering Technology (Naval Architecture) is a programme that combines the science, naval architecture and engineering of ship machining systems. The core of the programme includes studies related to naval architecture, hydrostatic and static/dynamic stability of ships or floating structures, ship machining and instrumentation, ship power plants, ship management and operating systems, and safety based on standards by the marine safety agency and the International Maritime Organization (IMO). 

Elements implemented include naval architecture and ship construction, mechanical engineering, electrical, electronics, software and security used in the engineering design, dassification, maintenance, and operation processes for vessels and floating structures. The programme provides professional knowledge and skills for jobs in the shipping marine and oil and gas industries.
