Taylor’s University is offering Malaysia’s first bachelor’s degree in Robotic Design & Development with a broad overview of specializations, which will allow for graduates to easily adapt to the employment market of today. Endorsed by industrial experts from the Malaysian Robotics and Automation Society (MyRAS), the 3-year program 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.
The program will be taught by certified professionals with both academic and industrial backgrounds, including Professional Engineers and Professional Technologists in leading companies. This means that there is a potential opportunity for the students to be absorbed as interns or permanent staff in top-tier organizations before or upon graduation. With a flexible and innovative teaching framework powered by TCF2.0, the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Taylor’s University, aims to offer graduates a fast-tracked entrance to the industry.
Additionally, Taylor’s is also one of the partnering schools with Robopreneur Sdn. Bhd, a fast-growing service robotics company based in Malaysia with a strong focus on R&D in robotics technology and innovation. The collaborative efforts in research between two parties may also result in ground-breaking frontiers for the industry.
Professor Dr. Pradeep Nair, Taylor’s University Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer said, “IR4.0 technologies, such as robotics, have long proven the capabilities to entirely transform the manufacturing value chain. However, the pandemic has revealed how vulnerable global supply chains can be and has motivated manufacturers to further expand their digital capabilities to future-proof their business in the new normal. That said, the lack of robotics talent in the local market will hinder this recovery process – we cannot, and should not, have to rely on foreign talents alone to fill high-income jobs. That is the motivation behind the launch of Robotic Design & Development program – to produce IR4.0 compliant graduates to drive the current market and spearhead the revolution internationally.”
