Its main vision is to fuel the country's K-economy with skilled technoprenuers and its core mission is to provide skilled manpower in the fields of engineering, multimedia, biotechnology, communication and business. TPM College took form when the School of Engineering was first established in 1998. In April 2003, TPM College was officially launched by YAB Dato' Seri Abdullah Hj Ahmad Badawi, Malaysia's Prime Minister. He was the Deputy Prime Minister then. Following this, TPM College was granted a tertiary institution license by the Ministry of Education to provide higher learning opportunities in the fields of engineering, biotechnology, business, information technology and communication. Situated on the same ground that houses various first-class infrastructures and services for technological innovation and research and development, the institution is an ideal choice for a place to study for various reasons, One of the most significant reasons is that TPM College is able to provide world standard facilities to its students as it shares Technology Park Malaysia's existing first class infrastructure and facilities. |

More that just labs, students use these teaching factories to produce actual products for commercialization, providing students with a very "real" approach to their curriculum with the relevant and necessary skills for the competitive job market. The college offers an excellent combination of teaching methodology of lectures and tutorials supported by excellent instruction systems, high-end technologies and extensive manufacturing and R&D facilities. |

This unit helps to place students in various companies for a three-month practical attachment, either with TPM's existing tenants or its immediate partners. |
