Many experts believe that we are now in the early stages of the
Fourth Industrial Revolution, an era combining digital, physical and
biological systems in a way never seen before. Virtual Reality (VR),
Augmented Reality (AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics are
changing the way that we live and work and the rapid pace of change
is disrupting almost every industry in every country.
I hope you have managed to get a glimpse of the future, your future
with us at Taylor’s and out there in the near years to come. You will
see rapid changes in the business landscape so quickly regardless of
the fields you are interested in. Here, we strive to ensure that you
graduate to be the first choice for leading employers. We also aim to
help you to graduate with entrepreneurial skills to establish your own
successful businesses. With our Taylor’s Curriculum Framework that is
first-of-its-kind allows you to customize your degree and equip you
with the skills needed for the future.
Many of the jobs that will exist in the future haven’t yet been
invented. Hard and soft skills are becoming more important, with
technology in full speed, cognitive abilities are being replaced by AIs.
International-minded, global views and exposure, soft skills and
adaptability are skills and views that will prevail. Therefore, here at
Taylor’s we break boundaries to help you get ready.
We look forward to engaging with you more, please come and have
a chat with us.
Sincerely,
Professor Michael Driscoll
Vice Chancellor and President of Taylor’s University.

THE
FUTURE OF
ENGINEERING
At Taylor’s University, we are constantly keeping ahead to ensure our students
graduate future-ready. This 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) will change the way business
is done. The revolution is characterised by a range of new technologies that are fusing
the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and
industries, and will challenge the status quo of education and its graduates.
The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in the USA has identified 14 Grand
Challenges, which engineers need to address in the 21st century, in order for
humankind to flourish and progress into the next century. These Grand Challenges
cover the areas of:
SECURITY EDUCATION
RESEARCH FUELS INNOVATION
HEALTH
SECURE CYBERSPACE
Despite serious breaches of cyber security occurring in the past, research and development
for security systems continue to lag behind.
EDUCATION
ENGINEERING
RESEARCH—DRIVEN EDUCATION
We are led by a strong research culture, embedded within a curriculum that is designed to
address real-world challenges. Continuous research and exploration activities create
engineers who understand the implications of their work on society and the future.

engineers who have a heart for their profession.
RESEARCH-DRIVEN EDUCATION
Led by a strong research culture, we aim to develop future engineers who are able to look beyond
engineering. We believe in grooming engineering graduates who are not only well-versed in their technical
knowledge, but can also understand, appreciate and analyse their role as well as their impact on society's
progress and existence.
We strive to create ethically-sensitive engineers who are aware of the ethical, social and environmental
implications of their work.
RESEARCH CLUSTERS
In order to reiterate the purposeful nature of engineering research done at Taylor’s, our research objectives have been realigned
to the 14 Grand Challenges. To fully execute this, our staff and students form research groups or clusters to develop their
respective solutions to address the Grand Challenges.
There are seven (7) clusters within SOE, and their respective Grand Challenges are:

TAYLOR’S ENGINEERING FAIR
Every semester, SOE organises an Engineering Fair that showcases the students’ works to the campus
community, industry members and visiting academicians. This is an avenue for students to demonstrate their
technical skills and knowledge, and increase their exposure to aspects of marketing, event organisation and
project management.
MIND-CONTROLLED WHEELCHAIR
This thought-operated machine was designed
to aid the disabled or elderly, and includes
additional features such as a canopy, LED light,
siren and camera. It is operated using EEG
(Electroencephalography) - the decoding of brain
waves.
Grand Challenge 11
The CDIOTM Initiative was pioneered by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), together
with leading engineering schools in USA, Europe, Canada, UK, Africa, Asia and New Zealand. to
address the gap between industry needs and the quality of engineering graduates being produced.
Students are instilled with engineering fundamentals in the context of the whole product life cycle
(Conceiving - Designing - Implementing - Operating), and are able to:
Master a deeper working knowledge of the technical fundamentals
Lead in the creation and operation of new products and systems
Understand the importance and strategic value of research work
SOE is the first Malaysian University to be accepted into this prestigious collaboration, joining the
ranks of elite institutions like MIT, Stanford University and University of Sydney.
The faculty and students participate in various conference and training events organised as part of the CDIOTM
Initiative, which facilitate the sharing of best practices and knowledge exchange as well as networking among
leading institutions.

INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL FRAMEWORK
In order to address the widening gap between engineering education and real-world demands of the
engineering profession, SOE has adopted the CDIOTM Initiative and registered with the Grand Challenge
Scholars Program (GCSP).
Providing students with a 'big picture’ view of engineering, the CDIOTM Initiative is woven into our
project-based learning approach. We teach students to develop unconventional solutions, including
revitalising a system or product to give it a new lease of life - a concept referred to as “cradle to cradle"
development.
As the first engineering school in the region to adopt both these innovative frameworks, we are widely
regarded as a pioneer in engineering education and have emerged as a benchmark for other institutions to
observe and emulate.
We are the first school outside of the USA to offer the Grand
Challenge Scholars Program recognised by the National
Academy of Engineering, USA.
