Assalamualaikum wrt wbt. and Warm Greetings,

Welcome to the official website of the Teaching Factory (TF), Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM), a pioneering initiative established under Malaysia’s Model 2 IPTA framework, designed to bridge academic learning with real-world industrial experience.

As a production-based learning hub, TF replicates actual factory operations within the university environment, enabling students to engage directly in hands-on, problem-based learning through real manufacturing processes, engineering services, and industry-driven project activities. More than just an educational platform, TF functions as a contract manufacturing centre for industry, a training ground for technopreneurs and future-ready engineers, a gateway for technology transfer, consultancy, and innovation, as well as a selfsustaining unit aligned with Industry 4.0 aspirations and evolving industrial needs.

At Teaching Factory UTeM, we uphold the philosophy of “Real Industry, Real Learning, Real Impact” where students, academic staff, and industry partners collaborate meaningfully to co-create value and drive national innovation.

We invite you to explore how TF UTeM is transforming the future of technical education while contributing to Malaysia’s sustainable industrial ecosystem.

Thank you for visiting TF UTeM’s Website and best wishes.
