DIPLOMA IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (DKM)
INTRODUCTION The New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030) targets to build Malaysia's industrial capacity and resilience for long-term and sustainable growth. NIMP 2030 is designed to drive Malaysia’s trajectory as a global leader in industrial development, extend the domestic linkages to create wealth across the nation as well as strengthen its position in the global value chain. Three key global trends are; first is leverage mature industrial infrastructure with good connectivity, strategic location and reputation. Second, step up efforts to develop high-skilled talent and enhance TVET programmes. Third, to create new growth opportunities in green manufacturing, electric vehicles, and carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS). NIMP 2030 missions have been formulated to drive industry transformation at a large scale: to advance economic complexity, to tech up for a digitally vibrant nation, to push for net zero, to safeguard economic security and inclusivity. The Twelfth Malaysia Plan (12MP) policy improving the educational ecosystem and technical and vocational training (TVET) to develop talent available time the front will be known as the driver changes to meet demand industry better. Industry 4.0 refers to the intelligent networking of machines and processes using information and communication technology (ICT). Industry 4.0 transforms manufacturing processes from product design to fabrication, operation, and maintenance. It fosters automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes through physical-cyber systems. Industry 4.0, a subset of the 4IR, focuses on the manufacturing sector, whereas 4IR encompasses almost every industry and all aspects of human life. Diploma in Mechanical Engineering for polytechnic is developed to give balance emphasis on theoretical and practical aspects. Thus, to keep abreast with rapid demand in TVET sector, Department of Polytechnic and Community College Education (DPCCE) progressively collaborates with major industry players in the country in developing the curriculum. The Diploma in Mechanical Engineering programme will take six semesters to complete, five academic semesters at their respective polytechnics and one semester of industrial training at relevant industries during the final semester. This programme complies with the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and Board of Engineer Malaysia (BEM) /Engineering Technology Accreditation Council (ETAC).
SYNOPSIS The Diploma in Mechanical Engineering programme is designed to produce holistic graduates that have knowledge and competent skills in the field of mechanical engineering to fulfil the demand of workers in engineering sector. The programme structure focuses on the area of Solid Mechanics, Statics & Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Materials, Mechanical Design, Workshop Practices, Manufacturing, Instrumentation & Control, Mechanical Maintenance, Electrical & Electronic Technology and Computer Programming.
