INTRODUCTION
This course is offered to the 3rd year engineering students. The subject is designed to ensure that students will acquire the knowledge in conducting research and development by working in a team. This includes conducting literature research, preparing project proposal, performing preliminary design concepts, simulation, and evaluation for the best concept and designing the selected concept. Students will be divided into groups that consist of four to six members of various disciplines namely Mechanical, Electrical & Electronics, Chemical, Civil and Petroleum Engineering. Please note that in view of the dissimilar number of students registering for this module from each engineering program, there are groups that may not have students from all five engineering disciplines. A supervisor and theme of project will be assigned to each group. 2.

SCOPE OF PROJECT
The scope of the project includes: • • • •
To generate conceptual designs To perform necessary engineering calculations To generate engineering drawings of the selected concept To develop a working model or prototype
The final result of the project shall be exhibited in the form of engineering drawings, reports, and a WORKING MODEL or PROTOTYPE. The conceptual design should incorporate as many as possible elements or components of Electrical / Electronic / Mechanical / Chemical / Civil / Petroleum engineering. The approach to solutions and methodologies such as selection of materials, problem analysis etc., shall be based on fundamental engineering calculations. 4.
SUMMARY OF PROJECT WORK
Please refer to Appendix I for the schedule of the present semester. 4.1 Project Proposal Each group shall discuss among members to come out with a suitable and feasible project within the assigned theme and more importantly within the time frame as specified in Appendix I. When an agreement has been reached among the team members and also the supervisor, a project proposal must be submitted for assessment. Prior to submission, the project proposal must be discussed with the respective supervisors to determine the scope, problems, and practicality of the proposed project. The content of the proposal must be based on the format in Appendix XIII. The report shall not exceed 12 pages including the appendices. Each group must submit the project proposal to the supervisor by the due date specified in Appendix I. The proposal will be assessed based on the marking scheme in Appendix II. Note: Supervisors need to ensure that any draft proposal be reviewed and returned promptly to ensure that students are able to submit their work on time. 4.2 Progress Report A progress report must be submitted to the supervisor by the due date specified in Appendix I. The report will be assessed based on the marking scheme in Appendix III. The report, which shall not exceed 12 pages including the appendices, shall comprise: • details of the activities that need to be carried out 5
ETP Guidelines: January 2009 semester
• • •
identification of potential problems a few conceptual designs that have been considered necessary preliminary engineering calculations, data collection and benefit-cost analysis that have been used in deciding the final design.
4.3 Development of Prototype / Model Throughout the project, the supervisor will monitor the overall progress and development of the project through meetings and logbooks as well as progress report. The prototype or model of the project must be completed by the date specified in Appendix I. Upon completion, the group must make an arrangement with the supervisor for assessment of the prototype or model. The assessment will generally be based on the planning, execution and the quality of the prototype or model. Please refer to the format in Appendix IV for the guidelines of the assessment. 4.4 Poster Presentation Each group will be required to present their results and findings in the form of ONE A-1 size poster with a portrait-layout. The poster presentation provides an opportunity for students to expose or share their work, knowledge and experience with other students and also with lecturers. The poster from each group will be examined, unmanned, by one or more examiners in a session that will be advised further. Appendix V provides the guidelines on the poster exhibition assessment criteria. The tentative time for the session is indicated in Appendix I. The use of more than one poster will be penalised. All posters must be handed over to the ETP Coordinators at the end of the Poster Presentation session. Failure to do so may result in final marks being withheld. Selected posters will be exhibited in the Engineering Design Exhibition (EDX), which is described in Section 4.6. The selection will be made based on the scores given by the examiners for the posters and the demonstration/simulation of the working prototype/model. 4.5 Demonstration / Simulation of Working Prototype/Model All groups are also required to demonstrate or simulate a working prototype or model of their project before one or more examiners (non-supervisor). An actual model demonstration is preferable, however, in certain cases, a computer simulation might be acceptable depending on the nature of the project. This demonstration/simulation will be assessed based on the criteria specified in Appendix X. The scores for the demonstration/simulation, together with the poster, will be used by the ETP Coordinators in selecting groups that will participate in the EDX.

ETP Guidelines: January 2009 semester
4.6 Engineering Design Exhibition (EDX) The Engineering Design Exhibition (EDX) is an event organized by the university towards the end of every semester. It provides opportunities for students to present their project works, mainly through the ETP and Final Year Project (FYP) courses. Only selected projects will be allowed invited to participate. For ETP, selection will generally be made based on the score obtained by groups in the evaluations for posters and demonstrations. All participants will be given certificates, and in addition winners will be awarded. Projects with certain outstanding quality and innovation will be selected to represent the university at national and international level competitions. It must be noted that the operational matters of the EDX is beyond the responsibility of ETP supervisors and coordinators. There shall also be no extra marks for groups that participate or win awards in the EDX. Certificates, awards and details of the EDX should be obtained only from the EDX Committee. 4.7 Oral Presentation During the demonstration session, students shall deliver a presentation on their findings. Assessment on visual aspects, clarity of presentation, logic, knowledge of subject matter and the overall content of the presentation will be made on a group basis (Appendix VII) as well as on an individual basis (Appendix VIII). Each group member must present some portion of the material. Each group will be allocated 30 minutes for the presentation, and another 10 minutes for a question and answer session. The examiners will be appointed lecturers, other than the group supervisor. 4.8 Final Report Each group shall submit a final report by the due date specified in Appendix I. The report will be assessed based on the marking scheme in Appendix IX. In this report, the ultimate results and findings of the project shall be presented. The report shall be assessed based on: • Critical review of current problems/solutions • Literature review • Development of alternatives and options • Decision making processes • Final Design (engineering drawing) • Technical/Scientific aspects/support • Business and economic considerations • Application/Viability of selected design • Suggestion for area of improvements • Recommendations for future work Please note that the report must be limited to thirty (30) pages excluding appendices, figures and drawings. 7
