With the nation’s first-of-its-kind bachelor’s degree in Robotic Design & Development, Taylor’s University is at the forefront of robotics education and research. Integrating knowledge and skills from different engineering disciplines, the programme is built to give students a broad-based overview of multiple specialisations – making them highly adaptable to today’s fast-paced employment market.
Endorsed by industrial experts from the Malaysian Robotic and Automation Society (MyRAS), the 3-year programme looks to expose students to a valuable 32-week working experience on real-world challenges in their final year, placing them at some of the top industrial names: Western Digital, FourFang, Robopreneur, Omron Electronics, and Me.Reka to name a few.
The programme comes at a time when there is an increased demand for robotics engineers in its push towards Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) in Malaysia. [1] Rise of technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence during the era of Internet-of-Things are key factors that prompt the demand for robotics engineers. It is projected that the number of jobs in the field will grow 9% between 2016 and 2026, leading to a shortage of qualified engineers. [2]
