Master of Innovation and Engineering Design

INTRODUCTION

The Master Programme in Innovation and Engineering Design (MIED) is uniquely designed for students with a passion for creating new, innovativeproducts, improving existing designs, and research and development of designs and products. The MIED Programme at Universiti Putra Malaysiaaims to provide engineers and designers with the latest advanced design techniques to be applied in industrial and engineering works. It is also thefirst programme of its kind to be established in Malaysia. Students of the MIED Programme will learn avariety of subjects related to Innovation,Design Techniques, Business Practices and Patents. The courses offered are designed to produce graduates with the knowledge and skills toanalyse, improve and develop new designs that are able to increase the productivity and quality of products for the benefit of society and industry.
