Why Malaysia for Mechanical Engineering?
Many students look west. But Malaysia is fast emerging as one of Asia’s best destinations for studying — and building a career in — mechanical engineering.
This is why it makes sense:
1
Global engineering and manufacturing firms operate regional HQs and advanced production facilities across Malaysia and Southeast Asia
