Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Engineering (By Research)

(R/520/8/0053) 06/19 (A3415) (Melaka)

Research and development is an extremely important element in FET’s continuing pursuit for excellence. The process of discovering new founded knowledge and communicating the new findings to academia has become an integral part of the learning community and it is considered our utmost priority in achieving MMU as a world class university. A number of research areas have been identified as focus areas that are deemed important to MMU and the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC). These are the critical technologies that are the foundation for many products and services. In order to become a significant force in the MSC, FET has set a target of eventually having 30% of its students as postgraduate candidates.

This programme assures students an opportunity of extensive training in research so that they are capable of working independently and creatively. Graduates are expected to possess strong practical and theoretical knowledge to conduct research works and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in their respective fields.
