    ~* Accolade of UNITEN *~

    As we mention at the Programs category, University Tenaga National (UNITEN). Putrajaya Campus are divided into two colleges. The first one will be College of Engineering (COE) and the second one will be College of Information Technology (COIT). Both of this colleges won a number of accolades and awards for Uniten. The accolade that I feel really proud of is the Prime Mister Award won in year 2009. Besides that, the most recent accolade that makes me happy as Uniten student is that we have successfully collected eleven out of fourteen medals at Malaysia Technology Expo 2010. Is a great achievement as this event is known as Malaysia's Largest Science and Technology Event.

    Thanks to all the accolade that Uniten archived all the time, this make certificate of Uniten world-wide known and it will be easier for student in Uniten to get their job. Once we mention that we are from Uniten, the employee will have a better impression for us due to all kind of achievement made. Is the same situation where people will choose to listen to songs that produced by people that won many awards than songs that produced by some unknown or a normal people like you and me. This is why accolades of an university is very important for a student. It will help us and give us more opportunity to a brighter future.

    - Research Award from COIT -

    - Gold Medal for Malaysia Technology Expo 2007 and as mention above,
    we won eleven award out of fourteen in Malaysia Technology Expo 2010. -

    Accolades Received by Collage Of Engineering for Education

    I feel so lucky to be part of Uniten. The main reason to i feel so special to study at Uniten is that Uniten have been received many prestigious educational awards since it was established on 1999.

    Uniten make another great achievement in education field winning th BrandLaureate Awards 2011 - 2012 for the best brand in Corporate Branding Best Brands in Engineering!!

    I feel so proud to say that Uniten have received this award.These award is recognize Uniten as best brand in education especially in Engineering .
    These shows Uniten's involvement to make Uniten as a better place to study engineering related courses.

    Education Award from IMecheE!!

    I am quite impressed with one of the prestigious award received by Uniten for education which is IMecheE Accreditation.
    The Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) programme at Uniten has achieved international accreditation from the prestigious Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) UK.It is proud to say that the Mechanical Engineering programme has been award the full 5 years recognition in meeting the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements of IMechE. UK presented the accreditation certificate to Uniten and launched the IMechE-Uniten Student Chapter on 3rd April 2008.

    The award received enables Uniten mechanical engineering to be same league with other similar degrees obtained from schools of engineering in United Kingdom.This achievement quite impressed me as Uniten has same standard in mechanical engineering course from UK
    schools of engineering.This recognition is clearly an additional achievement to Uniten being one of the two universities in the country which received this award from IMechE.

    Whilst Uniten IMechE Student Chapter, established in April 2008 is the brainchild of the current president and founder, Dominic Hua Shi Hao.The main purpose of this Student Chapter is to encourage and support students involvement in the field of mechanical engineering activities are expected to promote competencies such as communication, management and leadership.

    So join us and study at Uniten.Uniten has renowed lecturers and better academic facility too.

    Research Award for COE

    To be able to get a Research Award will be a great honor to us as it will help us in our working life to make us different from other people that just has a Bachelor Certification.

    Although the COE Solar Ranger team did not win the race in Australia but it is also an experience not to be forgotten. It shows that UNITEN is good in the Engineering field than other local University.

    http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/11/1/nation/5021298&sec=nation

    With this award, it shows that we have the skill to create something that is useful to the community and able to contribute to the community with new technologies and make UNITEN or even Malaysia good in education in Engineering.

    I hope more UNITEN student can help research more product that can be used to participate in more international competition to show that we are not just a normal graduate but we are a better graduate with this award.
