Kulliyah of Engineering

Mission and Vision

The Kulliyyah of Engineering was established in March 1994. Beginning February 1997, the Kulliyyah started its postgraduate programmes at the Master as well as the Doctor of Philosophy levels. The vision of the Kulliyyah is to be a world class centre of engineering education and research with values and ethics. The mission is to provide quality academic and professional services which are competitive and innovative for the progress of the society. The goals are to produce globally recognized graduates who demonstrate high professional ethics, deliver indigenous research products (publications, patents, intellectual properties, commercialization, etc.), and offer exemplary services (consultancy, training, continuous education, etc.) that satisfy customers expectations.

With the Kulliyyah’s philosophy that is based on systems approach, the engineering programmes offer an integrated and comprehensive education that transcends the boundaries of various disciplines. This is consistent with the Islamic concept of Tawhid, which unifies the spiritual and physical aspects of life into a harmonious continuity. Besides being professionally qualified and competent, the graduates will acquire spiritual, intellectual, moral and ethical characteristics towards the development of an integral and harmonious relationship with Allah (the Creator), fellow human beings, and with the environment. The interdisciplinary approach to engineering education will not only allow the graduates to solve industrial and human problems but will also enable them to bring about and manage changes in conformity with the worldview based on the principles of Islam. Engineers, in addition to understanding scientific principles, are concerned with the time, economics, and values that define the application of those principles. With this in mind, the Kulliyyah fosters a close partnership with industry and government, and reaches out to both the IIUM community and the public at large. In addition to its teaching role, the Kulliyyah has the responsibility to conduct strong research programmes that contribute to the advancement of knowledge.
