Despark College was awarded the prestigious six-star rating by the Higher Education Ministry in the MyQuest 2018/2019 rating.
MALAYSIA has one of the highest rates of car ownership per capita in the world.
With the addition of local automakers competing to produce low-cost cars, the environment will continue to take a great hit due to harmful gases emitted by these vehicles.
Thus, intervention is much needed to overcome the issue.
Electric vehicles (EV) serve as one of the solutions. EVs do not produce carbon dioxide emissions, and widespread use will contribute to reduced air pollution and higher air quality – as opposed to an average petrol car that would produce up to 1.5 million grams of CO2 per year. That's the equivalent of four return flights from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu.
As Malaysians are becoming more environmentally conscious, local automakers must take this opportunity to develop the EV concept for future production.
Producing top-notch automotive engineering students
The automotive industry is a gigantic sector and an indispensable part of Malaysia’s economy. With the advent of technology, those who study automotive engineering have to keep themselves updated with the current trends of the industry.
With the increasing demand for EV specialists, Despark College has developed the Innovations & Technologies of Electric Vehicles (ITEV) programme that is specifically designed to produce more young talents in the areas of EV development.
It has also invested more than RM2mil in equipment and human resources to make this project a successful one.
Throughout the ITEV programme, students will be exposed to the fundamentals in drivetrain in electric vehicles; concept of AC, DC and fast charge; electric generator power delivery concept; and, regenerative braking and diagnostic of EV.
