Abstract: A need urge to investigate the curriculum of Engineering Mathematics to identify the common Engineering Mathematics topics between Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and some other world top universities. This study aimed to introduce an innovative way for learning Engineering Mathematics. The 59 universitie’s vector calculus syllabi, 61 universitie’s Linear algebra syllabi and 60 universitie’s differential equation syllabi were compared with UKM’s syllabus. Line integral, double integral, green’s theorem and triple integral, matrix and basic operation, vector space, eigen value and eigen vector, first-order differential equation, higher-order differential equation and laplace transform are popular topics in Engineering Mathematics. Lab sessions will be introduced in these topics to increase students understanding in the subject and to improve their performance.
