The Bachelor of Water Resources Engineering Technology with Honours integrates the knowledge of planning, developing, distributing, and managing the optimum use of water resources and wastewater. The courses in this program are designed to expose students to the relevant physical science, technology knowledge, and skills. The program proposed is in line with the 11th Malaysia Plan 2016 – 2020
The water and wastewater industry in Malaysia has experienced restructuring involving the introduction of sustainable practices, energy and resource efficiency, and new green technologies which are all changes that require upgrading significant skills. Technical progress and the accompanying knowledge grow inexorably. Companies and service providers are forever developing new processes. The application of computers, and the corresponding hardware and software, are the developments that change the most. There is hardly any wastewater treatment plant in which the control and data management are still carried out manually on paper. Therefore, this program aims to equip the personnel with higher technical and vocational skill levels (HTVET) to cater to the rapidly emerging technologies in this industry
