UTM - Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
The School of Mechanical Engineering (SME), Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, was formerly known as the Fakulti Kejuruteraan Jentera (FKJ). It was set up in 1975 at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Kuala Lumpur campus. FKJ initially had two departments, namely, the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Petroleum Engineering. A Dean managed the Faculty with the assistance of a Deputy Dean and two Heads of Departments. On 15th of March 1983, the Department of Petroleum Engineering has been expanded to form a new faculty known as the Faculty of Chemical and Natural Resources Engineering. FKJ moved to a new campus in Skudai in June 1989. To make the Faculty more marketable internationally, the University has agreed to rename FKJ to Fakulti Kejuruteraan Mekanikal (FKM) or Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME) on 20th of December 1995. In July 2018, under the UTM Synergy 4.0, FKM was placed under new management named Faculty of Engineering (FE) together with the other five Faculties. FKM was renamed to the School of Mechanical Engineering (SME).
SME now offers a four-year academic programme in various fields of Mechanical Engineering, which upon completion, the University awards the Degree of Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours. The complete list of undergraduate programmes offered by the school is as follows:

Apart from the undergraduate programme, the school also offers postgraduate programmes which include a Master of Engineering by research and Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering. Several Master programmes by course work in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Technology, Mechanical-Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical-Materials Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, and Automotive Engineering are also offered.
The school’s state-of-the-art facilities and instrumentation provide the support tools for comprehensive educational and research activities. These are supplemented by specialized university research facilities, which include Automotive Development Centre (ADC), Marine Laboratory, Composite Centre, Institute of Noise and Vibration, and Aeronautics Laboratory. In addition to these, FME also houses several research laboratories, including Systems and Control Laboratory, Material Science Laboratory, Applied Mechanics and Materials Testing Laboratory, Production EngineeringLaboratory, Industrial Engineering Laboratory, and CAD/CAE Laboratory. In line with the Research University status, several research alliances (RA) have emerged. The staff of SME is also associated with at least one of the research groups in the RAs. SME has received numerous national awards for both research and teaching. Our graduates have been very successful and have risen to distinguished positions in industries, government sectors, and academia.

BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (MECHANICAL–AERONAUTICS)
The Aeronautical Engineering programme at UTM is offered as a specialization of Mechanical Engineering and covers 5 main areas namely Aerodynamics, Aircraft Structure, Flight Dynamics and Control, Propulsion and Aircraft Design. Thus, graduates of this programme satisfy the requirement to graduate as an engineer in Mechanical Engineering as well as in the field of specialization in aeronautics.
Area of study
Aeronautical engineering encompasses all aspects of studies related to flying. In this aspects, flying includes aerospace flight. The areas of specialisation in Aeronautical Engineering can be divided into the following:-
Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics is the relationship between air (wind) and the material (solid) that moves in it. Various principles of Fluid Mechanics are considered in a flying problem. For example, aerodynamic study will determine a suitable shape for an aircraft, missile etc.
Aircraft Structure
This area will determine the integrity (strength) of a flying body such as an aircraft or a missile. Using dimensions and tolerances, strength of material, shear flow and theory of thin plate, the structure of an aircraft can be determined.
Aircraft Propulsion
Propulsion is a study of an aircraft power plant. This study includes design and selection of appropriate power plant for a particular aircraft. This field has developed vastly since the increase in the cost of petroleum. Engineers have been competing to invent lighter and more economic power plants.
Aircraft Instrumentation and Avionics
Avionics is the acronym for `Aviation Electronics’ and together with aircraft instrumentation they involve a wide range of studies. Flying has been facilitated by the use of various electronic devices. Electronic devices which facilitate flying such as radars ILS (Instrument Landing System) ADF (Automatic Direction Finder) etc were specifically invented by the Avionic/Aircraft Instrument Engineer. The Avionic/Aircraft Instrument Engineer will have to ensure that the instrument fitted on an aircraft will function satisfactorily together with a high degree of reliability.
Aviation Management
The aircraft industry has expanded tremendously during this decade. The industry requires experts to manage and administer its operation smoothly. Regulations concerning the construction and operations of aircraft have been so devised in order to avoid accidents and mistakes which may sacrifice lives. Students will be exposed to the responsibility as an aviation manager to cope with the industry trend and accustomed with the aviation regulation.
Aviation Economy
This course aims to expose Aeronautical engineering students with fundamental elements of economics commonly used in engineering and aviation. The course begins by introducing key economic concepts such as the cash flow diagram and factors in engineering economy. These fundamental concepts are applied on various decision-making tools such as Net Present Value, Future Worth, Annual Worth, Rate of Return and Benefit/Cost Analysis to solve aviation economics related problems.
Flight Mechanics
Flight mechanics is an important aspect in the design and operation of an aircraft flight mission. Research area include aircraft performance (take-off, climbing, cruising, decent and landing) and aircraft static stability and control in steady flight condition. Flight Dynamics and Control The area is about the
Flight Dynamics and Control
The area is about the dynamics behavior of rigid body aircraft and the application of control system theory to design simple stability augmentation systems to more complex automatic flight control systems. This includes the application of modern multivariable control system design using state-space methods. The area include, equation of motion of rigid body including translation aircraft longitudinal and lateral dynamic stability, flying and handling qualities, stability augmentation and automatic flight control system, aerodynamics stability derivatives and multivariable state-space methods
Career prospects
Graduates of this programmes are essentially Mechanical Engineers but with specialisation to Aeronautical Engineering who can easily find job opportunities in various sectors. Alternatively, they can also be known as Aeronautical Engineers depending on their job placements in industries they are in. The Aeronautical Engineering programme was first offered by UTM during the 1980/81 session, being jointly run by UTM and TUDM. Its objective was to fulfil the need for skilled and semi-skilled human resources in the aeronautical field especially in the public sector. TUDM required human resources to operate, maintain, repair, oversee and manage different types of aircraft and UTM had the capability to produce graduates in this field. This need has continued to increase with the development in the airline industry in Malaysia which demands for more trained manpower especially engineers and technical assistants.
