INDUSTRIAL DOCTORATE
Presented by:School of Graduate Studies
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
BackgroundRationale:
• The university acknowledges that industry practitioners and process owners have conducted many industry research projects, typically in areas like product development, system and process improvement, business strategy and various transformation initiatives.
• These research have also generated new knowledge in various areas and many leading to the establishment of new Intellectual Properties, like patents, copyrights, etc.
Rationale:
• It is a waste for not capitalizing this and the university should take the opportunity to award these industry researchers with a award like doctoral degree.
• This leads to the development and implementation of various industry-doctoral programmes in the university.
Background
• The first Industrial Doctoral programme started in 1998.
• Now UTM has 5 Industrial Doctoral programmes.
Background
• Razak School of Business & Advance Technology- Engineering Doctorate (Engineering Business Management)
• Faculty of Civil Engineering- Engineering Doctorate (Construction Technology & Management)
• Faculty of Chemical & Natural Resources Engineering- Engineering Doctorate (Process Plant Management)
