| Summary: | This study presents an innovative practice in the Malaysian engineering education system which originated from the historical development of Malaysian education. The historical development has instigated the two streams of Malaysian higher education sectors; public and private universities as well as the university programme offerings and the language of instruction. In order to extricate itself from the system introduced by the British, Malaysia has introduced an innovative element into its engineering practice. The research applies the qualitative approach whereby inductive and deductive analytical strategies were performed. The findings revealed that the Malaysian education system has advanced into an independent own mould engineering education system which is very much shaped by Islamic values and beliefs and, the Malaysian culture - with the aim of producing innovative and competent engineers to compete in this globalized world. |
