Graduates of this programme are essentially Mechanical Engineers with minor specialization in Automotive Engineering who can seek job opportunities in various mechanical and automotive sectors. Alternatively, they can also be known as Automotive Engineers depending on their job placements in the industries they are in.

 

Mechanical-Automotive graduates from UTM will be able to perform job requirements in the field of research, design, development and production of various types of vehicles. In most cases they will be working in the design and production of automotive components systems and sub-systems. They will make use of the knowledge learnt during their studies at UTM such as those mentioned earlier.  A Mechanical-Automotive Engineer will always perform design or production work in accordance to quality assurance practice to fulfil the requirements of standards performance and safety.

 

Apart from passenger vehicles, Mechanical-Automotive graduates will also be able to find careers in the commercial vehicle industry or off-road vehicles companies such as MASTER BUILDERS and MALAYSIAN TRUCKS & BUS and even branch into locomotives companies. Furthermore, the advancement of motorsports related industry has created the need for technical expertise to support the industry; another exciting industry in which Mechanical-Automotive graduates can adapt as their career.  Malaysia has been producing cars for more than 30 years with the growth of companies such as PROTON, PERODUA, MODENAS and NAZA.  The rapid growth in the Malaysian automotive industry including component manufacturing and automotive-related companies has also provided many job opportunities for Mechanical-Automotive graduates.

 

UTM Mechanical-Automotive graduates are also capable to take a position and advance their career with international car manufacturers either locally or abroad. In short, UTM Mechanical-Automotive graduates have a wide career opportunity as they are all well trained to become competent engineers and managers, especially in the field of Mechanical-Automotive Engineering.
