Subject Contents

Each student shall be required to undertake a project which is of academic value for a period of 2 trimesters (Trimester 1 and Trimester 3). The project involves problem solving using engineering theories and techniques, and the implementation of the project design. The student is expected to design a possible solution to the problem, taking into account various aspects such as professionalism, economy, costing and engineering viability.

At the end of the first trimester, the student is to present his/her progress at a seminar. At the end of the project, it is expected that the student submits a proper written report and to present his/her work at a seminar.

The Grade will be calculated in the CGPA of the 3rd Trimester of e Year.


Laboratory

Access to the lab facilities shall be provided according to the needs and suitability of the projects.
