Certificate in Electronic Engineering

This certificate introduces learners to electronics and the work carried out in the semiconductor and electronics industry. It is offered full time by the School of Engineering at FutureTech Academy, the training arm previously known as the Penang Skills Development Centre. Coursework covers basic electrical technology, digital systems, computer applications, programming in C, programmable logic controllers, quality management and a final project. Students also complete an industrial attachment and the national studies and language subjects required of Malaysian programmes. The programme is designed to build practical understanding of electronic components and the theory needed to maintain equipment that relies on them. Graduates may progress to the Diploma in Engineering offered by the same school. Intakes are held several times a year, and applicants from different school-leaving backgrounds, including SPM, UEC and O-Levels, are considered.
