Transdisciplinary Engineering
User and application environments are more and more included
into design and development to customize new products and
implement solutions that are really needed and wanted.
Research incorporates then also social science methodologies to
acquire the necessary knowledge about users and context and to
better implement solutions in their context.
Engineering needs these approaches to be more successful with
their innovation efforts. Most importantly, collaboration between
different disciplines is needed to realise this approaches.
Not one discipline can possess all knowledge necessary to solve the
complex problem of our era.

Definition
”Multidisciplinary
engineering is excellent
preparation for a graduate
program or a career in industry.
Graduates work as engineers in
industry, as managers and
entrepreneurs who start their own
companies, and go into a variety of
other areas.
Important professional attributes
include communication skills, the
art of self-learning, teamwork,
and ethics.
These skills prepare you for
research and development
positions in industry, as well as for
careers in management, sales,
“The program offers considerable
flexibility including numerous
electives which allow a plan of study
to meet student's educational
goals. This affords bringing
together multiple engineering and
non-engineering disciplines at an
advanced level to solve societal
challenges.
Established plans of study in the
program include acoustical
engineering, engineering
management, visual design
engineering, theatre engineering,
and general engineering, to name a
few.”

Problem
Working in Group
To involve complex
engineering
problems and
design systems,
components or
processes
integrating core
areas and meeting
specified needs
To inculcate the

The Benefits
Coordination and communication are typically easier and quicker –
the difference in being able to poke your head in the office next door
and needing to set up a call. All of this can result in a project getting
to market faster and saving a client’s time and money.
Multi-disciplinary teams also
prevent the project being
viewed from only one
angle. .

23. The Competition?
o Graduates from more than 300 engineering
program from other universities in Malaysia, and
