The Kulliyyah of Engineering (KOE) at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) has been one of the leading institutions in the country since 1994, offering engineering education to students from all over the world. With its wealth of experience, the KOE has established different strategic plans over the years to improve its academic standards. The faculty provides undergraduate and postgraduate programs in various fields of engineering, such as chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, mechatronics, and computer engineering. Despite having an excellent academic curriculum, there is still a significant gap in the integration of knowledge across different courses, which could hinder the overall learning experience of the students. To bridge this gap and provide a more comprehensive approach to education, there is a need to integrate knowledge from various courses and disciplines. This approach will enable students to understand the relationships between different areas of study and better equip them to solve complex problems in the real world. Integrating knowledge from various courses will not only improve the overall quality of education but also increase the employability of graduates as they will possess a diverse set of skills that are highly sought after in today's job market.
