Prepping the Future Workforce for Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0
Technology has became more important than ever before, during these post covid-19 times. There is a greater demand for technology & innovation, driven by new challenges that are more challenging for businesses and industries to operate under the ‘new normal’. Some of the applications of technology within the medical industry are such as the Human-AI collaboration in the role of discovering a COVID-19 vaccine. Outside the medical field, the pandemic is introducing new constraints and challenges that technology systems can help overcome. AI can help develop new solutions and ideas to build a more flexible organisation that works remotely. E-Commerce, Digital Marketing & Digital Advertising are thriving and changing business models. Hence, our programmes at APU are Technology-Driven in all fields, ensuring long-term employability and future-proof careers in the age of Industry 4.0, post COVID-19 and beyond.

In line with the Industrial Revolution 4.0, we at APU develop and execute our own IR4.0 Framework, through programmes that set Technology as a common core. The
APU IR4.0 Framework
 aims to future-proof the global workforce, in which graduates of this digital workforce are industry-ready, capable and are competent to remain competitive globally.

Bachelor of Petroleum Engineering with Honours is powered by:

The infusion of software application for petroleum engineering has been fully incorporated into the curriculum. This is in line with the industry’s move towards Digital Transformation and enhancing productivity in the field. Strong Industry-Academia partnerships at APU with organisations such as Petroleum Experts Limited, UK (PETEX) and Rock Flow Dynamics Ltd., USA (RFD) have allowed for the provision of industrial software for student learning and research purposes. APU students have the hands-on practical experiences through petroleum engineering related software tools which also are being applied in their Field Development Project (FDP) and Final Year Project (FYP) works. APU is one of the first universities in Malaysia to provide students with a combination of Integrated Production Modelling (IPM) and Reservoir Engineering Simulation (tNav) modern industrial tools. Further strengthening the curriculum is the application of the Computer Modelling Group (CMG) software which is used for reservoir modelling and enhanced oil recovery studies.
