As we enter the AI era, it is only right for MMU to claim its place as the nation’s AI hub. Curriculum first: building FAIE, threading AI across disciplinesMMU has restructured its offerings, renaming a core faculty the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence and Engineering (FAIE), with undergraduate pathways in Intelligent Robotics and Applied AI. Cross-disciplinary application is deliberate: law students are trained to work with AI tools, animation students use AI in production workflows, and strategic communication students learn to apply AI for engagement analytics and content development. Industry early and often: iCadet as the bridgeThe iCadet programme integrates industry into the degree. From year two, students work with partners such as Telekom Malaysia, Maybank and Malaysia Aviation Group, applying classroom learning to real projects over extended periods — not just during a final-year internship.
