Knowing Engineering Majors

 A major in engineering is an interdisciplinary study of math, science, and business principles. Students learn how to design and conduct experiments, identify and solve problems, understand professional and ethical responsibility, and communicate effectively in general engineering courses. While scientists and inventors create new ideas, it is engineers who put these ideas into practise.

In Malaysia, the engineering sector experienced the highest median salary growth between 2020 and 2021, and according to the most recent JobStreet Salary Report 2022, engineering is among the top FOUR highest paying job in Malaysia. This data demonstrates that engineering is a lucrative career that requires a distinct set of skills.

Engineers are professionals who have earned a degree recognised by the Washington Accord for Engineers and are regulated and registered by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). The Washington Accord aims to make professional engineers' mobility easier. By recognising engineering degrees as equivalent in all signatory countries, it makes it easier for engineers to obtain professional registration in other countries, thereby increasing employment opportunities.

One of the private universities with this accreditation is UNISEL. It is difficult to gain admission to public universities; however, this problem can be solved by enrolling in a private university with reasonable fees (such as UNISEL). Engineering tuition at UNISEL is among the lowest of any private university.

Strong problem-solving abilities are one of the most important skills an engineer can have. Enroll in the engineering programme at UNISEL to begin preparing for your future.
