• Product Marketing Engineer
• etc

Prerequisite

• Available K-Workers (currently unemployed, in-between jobs, changing fields, retrenched)
• Malaysian graduates
• CGPA 2.5 and above
• Hold at least a Diploma in Electrical and Electronics Engineering fields

Course MethodologyThe participants are first taught the theories in classroom setting with the aid of software tools. The concepts are re-enforced through tutorial and case studies of how the theories are applied in real-life. Demonstration using the instruments and a system trainer will be carried out to illustrate various principles and techniques.

The participants are then taught the use of software and hardware tools in a lab. The concepts are re-enforced through practical exercises on the use of the tools thorough the testing of a system trainer.

Having acquired both practical skills in tools and pre-requisite knowledge in the subject area, the participants are required to design a test solution as part of individual project work.
