FAQs

26

1) How the project are assignedThe registered FYP1 students select the ‘Project Assignment Areas,’ defined by the Academic Staff before the semester starts.

2) Can Supervisor or student be pre-assignedNo. Not at the moment.

3) CHANGE OF SUPERVISORSUPERVISOR CHANGE IS NOT RECOMENEDED.Only for special cases such as : Student is involved in some prior

ACTIVITY, WORK (Grant, Equipment, Software) with the intended supervisor.

The FYP system assign average# of FYP students registered/staff e.g. 4 students/staff i) If student wish to change to another staff member on conditions describe above and who have less than average (4) , then there is no problem ii) If the new staff member has average students, then he has to let go one student to another staff who has less than average student. In this case the students and staffs has to arrange/settle all the process and inform the Coordinator. P1-2(b)- Change Project Supervisor form

27

4) What will happen if the student is Inactive In inactive student case the supervisor will consult Academic Advisor

and seek his help .

5) How’s the add/drop FYP students are handled?Same as other subjects.

6) Can FYP marks be remark/reviewedNO

7) How to get RM400 Project entitlement for purchase and Works.Use form ‘FYP (Form COE01)File’ in moodle and approved it from

Supervisor and give it to Mech. Lab Manager. Don’t make purchase before the form is approved.

8) How to get Conveyance allowance.There is no conveyance allowance for travelling and boarding Lodging.

Your Supervisor can request for UNITEN’s Transportation.

9) When to apply for project extensionShould apply between 9 – 14 Week.

10) Progress Report Format (Problem Statement, Objective, Methodology) Discuss with your supervisor

Insufficient / irrelevant contentInsufficient in the components of a presentation; some materials not within the required scope.

Adequate and relevant contentsPresentation was relevant to the scope – introduction, objectives, methodology, results, discussion, conclusion, and future work.

All relevant contentsIn addition to the “Acceptable” level, extra elements were included – outline, problem statements, motivation, acknowledgement, proper & sufficient references, etc.

B. Presentation tools

Limited use of presentation toolsBlurry pictures, too many texts, small font size. No effort is seen in the usage of effective presentation tools.

Effective use of presentation toolsProper use of OHP or projector; slides were concise, appropriate font and image size.

Mastery of presentation toolsExtra effort in the manipulation of aids and effectively attract and capture attention of audience, e.g. use of flash/ macromedia applications, include the use of multi-application tools.

C. Fluency

IncoherentPoor command of language, improper usage of grammar. Not organized. Self-interrupted presentation.

FluentGood command of language. Able to organize the thought process according to content. Flow of presentation is coherent.

ArticulateHighly competent in the usage of language. Excellent intonation /voice control. Spontaneous without referring to flashcards/notes.

D. Style/ delivery

Lack of practiceVery rigid, monotone voice. No eye-contact. Poor time keeping (presentation was either too short or too long).

Good executionGestures (body language) / psychomotor is in accordance to the content. Confident. Appropriate use of space and movement. Good eye contact. Good time keeping (finish just in time).

Excellent ExecutionExcellent usage of body gestures to capture the attention of the audience. Highly confident. Presentation is appropriately distributed in time according to the content.

Tick which knowledge profile covered in the project.

Description by Supervisor/s (Give examples of relevant

topics)FYP Coordinator's Remark

WK1: A systematic, theory-based understanding of the natural sciences applicable to the discipline

(1) Each supervisor must write details for WK8. (2) Each Supervisor is required to identify the WK attributes related to his/her student's project (WK3, WK4, WK5, and/or WK6) and complete the details in this form.

WK2: Conceptually-based mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and formal aspects of computer and information science to support analysis and modelling applicable to the discipline

WK3: A systematic, theory-based formulation of engineering fundamentals required in theengineering discipline

WK4: Engineering specialist knowledge that provides theoretical frameworks and bodies of knowledge for the accepted practice areas in the engineering discipline; much is at the forefront of the discipline.

eg. Flood situation

WK5: Knowledge that supports engineering design in a practice area

WK6: Knowledge of engineering practice (technology) in the practice areas in the engineering discipline

WK7: Comprehension of the role of engineering in society and identified issues in engineering practice in the discipline: ethics and the professional responsibility of an engineer to public safety; the impacts of engineering activity: economic, social, cultural, environmental and sustainability

WK8: Engagement with selected knowledge in the research literature of the discipline

Students are to design a methodology, investigate, analyze, and conclude the research on complex engineering problems. This knowledge attribute is evaluated in student's thesis (61.5%)
