Bachelor in Civil Engineering Technology

INTRODUCTION

Politeknik Ungku Omar (Malay: Politeknik Premier Ungku Omar) is a Malaysian
polytechnic situated on Jalan Dairy (Jalan Raja Musa Mahadi), Ipoh which was named after
the late Dr. Ungku Omar bin Ungku Ahmad. Politeknik Ungku Omar is the oldest polytechnic
in Malaysia. Politeknik Ungku Omar was established in 1969 by the Malaysian Ministry of
Education, aided by UNESCO. A total of RM24.5 million was allocated by the United Nation
Development Programed (UNDP). UNESCO was assigned with the responsibility of planning
and executing the polytechnic's construction on an area of 22.6 hectares at Dairy Road, Ipoh.
The polytechnic was named after the late Dato' Professor Ungku Omar Ahmad, in recognition
of his valuable contributions to the nation, especially in the field of medical research. For the
first batch of 300 students, lectures were held beginning from 2 June 1969. At that time, the
academic workforce consisted of 28 local lecturers.

The Department of Civil Engineering consists of Diploma in Civil Engineering, Diploma
in Architecture and Diploma in Geomatic programme. The Department began to take in
undergraduate students for the Bachelor in Civil Engineering Technology with Honours
programme in 2013. The programme had been accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications
Agency (MQA) and Engineering Technology Accreditation Council (ETAC)

The Bachelor in Civil Engineering Technology with Honours (BCT) programme seeks to
produce graduates who are committed to using civil engineering technology to promote a
sustainable economy. In addition, they are expected to act as stewards of our environment
and resources, to be effective agents for sustainable change, and educate others about the
benefits of a more sustainable community.

BCT is a four-year full-time programme and is structured to be more practical based
than the conventional science-based engineering degree programmes. Students are exposed
to practical-based training throughout the eight-semester course work with weightage of 60%
practical and 40% theory including two semesters of Work-Based Learning (WBL). The
curriculum emphasizes the building of a strong foundation in civil engineering fundamentals,
the application of technology to reach sustainability and an understanding of the principles
of project management and finance. In order to keep abreast with the rapid technological

advancements and evolving requirements in industries today, students will undergo two
semesters of experiential learning by a structured on-the-job-training WBL with the nation’s
key industry players.

This collaborative programme aims to equip students with the latest knowledge and
skills applied in the actual and current situation. Graduates from this programme will possess
hands-on experience of the industry with the technical know-how and dynamically
competent to fulfill the needs and requirements from both community and industries.

BCT 60243- SUSTAINABLE SITE DESIGN

Synopsis

SUSTAINABLE SITE DESIGN focuses on the importance to create and sustain a high quality
of community values and environmental responsibility in the design and construction of
infrastructure and landscape. This course concentrates on environmental quality standard
in site planning through water conservation, storm water management and landscape
management. Under this direction, quantity and quality control system in storm water
management will be considered in conjunction with landscape planning to produce a
sustainable site design.

BCT 70285- TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION MANAGEMENT

Synopsis

TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION MANAGEMENT is a course focused on innovation via
technological change, what it is, how it appears, and how it can be managed. The process
can be viewed as an evolutionary integration of organization, technology and market by
iterating series of activities: conceive, design, implement and operate (CDIO). Innovation
will not be restricted to creativity and new technical ideas, but also take organizational
aspects into account. The course is committed to providing an opportunity to learn to use
innovation management tools and news ways of thinking which are better suited to
addressing problems and opportunities inherent in organisations today.
