It is an innovative education model that was designed to develop the skills needed to develop technical and people skills that match the expectations of the labor market using a project-based learning approach. We are not a traditional university, and we are not a coding bootcamp.\n\nThe Problem in Tech Education\n-----------------------------\n\n![](https://42penang.edu.my/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/countdown.svg)\n\n### Pace\n\nTech is moving so fast that traditional academic institutions are unable to keep up.\n\n![](https://42penang.edu.my/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/imac.svg)\n\n### Skills Gap\n\nGraduates are not workplace ready in terms of critical thinking, problem solving & etc.\n\n![](https://42penang.edu.my/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/server.svg-bleu.svg)\n\n### Demand\n\nProduction of tech graduates is not meeting industry needs\n\n![](https://42penang.edu.my/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/9-1-1024x768.jpg)\n\n### Project-based Learning\n\nImitates **real-world work** and encourages students to learn time management and build conceptual frameworks.\n\n![](https://42penang.edu.my/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/12-2-1024x768.jpg)\n\n### Peer-to-peer Learning\n\nStudents are in charge of their own success and that of their classmates.
