Multimedia University (MMU) will establish the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence Engineering (FAIE) in July 2025. This faculty will replace the existing Faculty of Engineering (FOE), with the aim of further strengthening education and research in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
FAIE will offer a Bachelor of Science (Hons) (Applied AI) programme, a three-year full-time course that will commence intake in July 2025.
The programme will emphasise the use of technologies such as machine learning and automation to solve a variety of existing challenges, including smart healthcare, autonomous vehicles, smart agriculture and personalised digital assistants.
The faculty will also be equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities designed in collaboration between students, researchers and industry partners. In the meantime, the existing Bachelor of Engineering programme will also be enhanced with AI elements to master the latest technological skills.
This establishment can be considered an interesting step in strengthening AI education and research in this country. In fact, it also expands students' opportunities to access the latest AI technology such as Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) which also had an AI faculty before.
