The complete guide for the undergraduate curriculum at SAE can be referred to in this Academic Programme Guide Book . In essence, our curriculum consist of the following primary groups of courses:
• Core Courses: these are compulsory courses that cover the fundamental and advanced elements of aerospace engineering. These group of courses include laboratory courses, Industrial Training (internships at relevant industries in Malaysia or abroad), and Final Year Projects (supervised research projects).
• Elective Courses: advanced courses in the 3rd and 4th years of study that students can select from to offer in-depth knowledge and skills in selected areas of specialization.
• University Requirements: these are compulsory non-engineering courses aimed towards developing students with important skills, understanding, and appreciation in areas such as communication, social sciences, and entrepreneurship.
• Co-curricular Courses: students have to complete a small number of credits in these type of courses, offered to offer broad educational experience beyond the normal academic scopes.
Please note that the medium of instruction for all science and engineering courses at USM is English. Exceptions to this policy are for non-English language courses and some university courses. For these university courses, the medium of instruction is in Bahasa Malaysia. Nonetheless, sessions taught in English are offered specifically for international students.
