GLOSSARY OF TERMSBachelor Degree:

An award granted on successful completion of an approved undergraduate academic degree, which requires a minimum of 120 credit hours over a period of four year of full-time study after a pre-university qualification. An academic year is divided into two semesters, each consisting normally of 14 teaching weeks. All subjects within the semesters are allocated credit hours as per the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) guidelines. Credit hours are a measure of the notional amount of study required for a particular subject. Credit hours, accumulated as the student progresses through their programme of study, are earned when a student passes a subject. A generic term for a set of processes that measure the students achievement of the intended learning outcomes in terms of knowledge acquired, understanding developed, skills gained and attributes demonstrated. These assessments may include written, aural and oral examinations, essays, class tests, portfolio, dissertations and practical activities. Refers to a subject, which a student must take and pass, or be credited with, before proceeding to another specified subject. GPA is calculated for every semester. It is the ratio of the summation of the product of credit hours and grade points of all the subjects in a particular semester to the total number of credit points in the semester. The CGPA gives an overview of the students performance over the period of their studies. It is the ratio of the summation of the product of credit hours and grade points of all the subjects from the first to the current semester to the total number of credit hours thus far. A means of distinguishing the differences in achievement by individual students of the intended learning outcomes for the degree programme. The final CGPA, after completion of the total number of credit hours required to graduate from a particular programme, determines the class of degree to be awarded to the student.

FEATURES OF THE ENGINEERING PROGRAMMESThe programmes at School of Engineering are structured into integrated streams and have the following distinctive features Project-Based Learning

Our students learn not just in the classroom or lab environments, but also through a hands-on, project based approach. They have the opportunity to turn theories into applications, while learning to work together in a group. As a result, our graduates will be ready to take on industrial challenges and contribute positively to the community.

Multidisciplinary Teams

In the industry, engineers of different specialisations often work together to supervise and manage projects. This scenario is simulated in the School of Engineering, where students from different disciplines like Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering work together to achieve a common outcome for projects. Besides leveraging on each others skills and knowledge, they also learn to work with people from different backgrounds, culture and experience similar to an actual scenario at work.

Innovation and Design Thinking

Innovation is the buzzword that is often quoted when it comes to products and design in the world of engineering and technology. The innovation process is taught through a technique called Design Thinking and our students mindsets are molded so that they become better innovators and problem solvers. By applying Design Thinking, they will be able to handle complex challenges and issues that crop up in their environment. Students are also given the opportunity to practice filing a patent, thus giving them exposure to intellectual property rights and helping them graduate with a competitive edge.

Applied Research

Even at the undergraduate level, Taylors engineering students will get a chance to present research papers at conferences. By engaging in research, our students not only gain further application knowledge, they also keep abreast of newest discoveries in the field. Students who have had early exposure in doing research are well received by the industry. One of the success stories is Jeremy Ho, who secured a one-year internship with Rolls Royce, U.K.

Quality Academicians

Our faculty of qualified and experienced staff comprises over 75% PhD lecturers. They come from an extensive repertoire of academic and industry backgrounds, thus creating a well-balanced reservoir of knowledge and experience for the students to tap into. Several of our faculty staff are also actively engaged in research and scholarly activities, which ensures continuous updates in their respective fields. We are also proud of our teacher-student ratio of 1:15, which adheres to the international standards of the highest ranked academic institutions.

Industry Linkages

To ensure that students are exposed to the industry even before they graduate, they will undergo industry placement of two to three months. Through the industry placement, they will get a taste of real-life work in an engineering company. 7

Our Industrial Advisory Panel (IAP), comprising senior management personnel from various engineering fields, meet regularly to help review our curriculum and ensure that our students learning outcomes are aligned with the industrys needs and expectations of todays engineering graduates. The School has been accepted as an official collaborator in the CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) Initiative alongside great institutions, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California State University, the University of Sydney and University of Auckland. Taylor's is the first and only Malaysian institution that has, thus far, been accepted into this initiative, which is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers.

YEAR 3 SEMESTER 5 (14 weeks) CODE SUBJECT NAME CREDIT HOURS SHORT DESCRIPTION The aim of this subject is to introduce aspects of electronics and electrical engineering to students of other engineering disciplines in the context of applications in their discipline. This should develop their confidence when interacting with electrical engineers in industry. The subject begins with a review of the areas where electronic and electrical engineering principles are applied in civil, chemical, manufacturing and mechanical engineering and materials science. An introduction to basic concepts of electronics leads into DC circuits and circuit analysis, power and energy. An appreciation of linear and non-linear components is provided through the diode and LED. Active learning in the lecture environment will be a key feature of this section. The concept of electrical transducers as a means of interfacing to, and monitoring, the real world leads to the simple application of operational amplifiers. Examples of uses of transducers and actuators in engineering industry will emphasise the importance of proper calibration. As an exercise students will specify a transducer for a particular application to achieve the appropriate range, gain and accuracy. In this subject, students work in groups (of approximately five) to produce group and individual reports concerning the design of a chemical/biochemical/minerals process. They also make formal and informal oral presentations. All reports and presentations are to be to of commercial, professional standard. The design work is supported by frequent classes and seminars, and if possible, a site visit. In most cases, a manufacturing or commercial organisation will provide background material and data, and the supporting involvement of staff from such organisations is encouraged. Each student group reports to the TUC Lecturer in charge, who takes responsibility for administering the project, the progress and welfare of the design teams and marking. This subject consists of three elements: matrix modelling methods, mathematics and dynamic modelling techniques, and issues in modern process control and modelling. Students are taught how to construct and analyse advanced dynamic models of chemical engineering systems. A number of mathematical techniques with applications in chemical engineering are covered. It also covers the mathematical tools required to analyse and solve linear and nonlinear chemical engineering-based models, with examples. This subject covers critical theoretical material for momentum transport and addresses viscous and turbulent flows between solid boundaries. The principle of similitude is applied to the design and analysis of pumped flow systems and cost optimisation is applied to the design of pipelines. Engineering applications such as complex pipe networks and combined pipe-pump systems are analysed. The heat transfer material covered in Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer (ENG1213) is further extended to cover convection and radiation. Computer based methods of solution of heat and mass transfer problems are introduced and applied to some process examples. 18

It considers the factors in the engineering economy, interest rates, present worth, annual worth, rate of return, income tax and breakeven analysis. This subject is a continuation of ENG3953. Students continue to work in their groups to produce group and individual reports concerning the (theoretical) design of a chemical/biochemical/minerals process. They also continue to make formal and informal oral presentations. All reports and presentations are to be to of commercial, professional standard. The design work is supported by frequent tutorials and seminars, and if possible, a site visit. Each student group continues to report to a board or group of about 4 6 supervising academic staff, who take responsibility for administering the project, the progress and welfare of the design teams and marking. The Design Project exploits much prior learning, being the culmination of the students learning. It is the subject above all that requires a holistic approach to chemical engineering. It is necessary to pass this subject to fulfil the taught design requirement of the Institution of Chemical Engineers, for subsequent achievement of Chartered Engineer status. This subject builds upon the primarily conceptual knowledge gained in the prerequisite subject (ENG3223), to cover the basic principles of analysis and design of process level control systems, and the appropriate mathematical tools. Topics discussed include transfer functions, ideal dynamic systems, classical PID controllers, feedback control block diagram analysis, stability concept and analysis, structure and components of modern control loops, and practical aspects of industrial process control. Environment pollution control is a practice that all chemical engineers need to implement. All possible pollutants are discussed in this subject and case studies are applied to implement standards on existing pollution problems. The subject includes lectures and project work on current environmental issues, environmental legislation, and environmental mass balances. 19

Elective Elective subjects are subjects offered in courses other than the chosen field of study. Students choose subjects to develop areas of specialization and enhance professional development. Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) Compulsory Subjects (Code: MPW) MPW Compulsory Subjects are subjects that deal with areas of personal development, awareness and enhancement of one self for the benefit of the individual, society and country. With effect from 1st January 2006, international students (non-Malaysians) are exempted from all MPW Compulsory Subjects but have the option to sign up for classes should they choose to do so. MPW Compulsory Subjects will be listed as Exempted in the transcript and do not count towards the overall cumulative average. Malaysian students must attend and pass the required MPW Compulsory Subjects as a requirement to complete their studies. MPW Compulsory Subjects are credit-bearing and count towards the overall cumulative average and the number of credits required to graduate.

MODERATION GUIDELINESSubject Outlines Lecturers are responsible for compiling subject outlines that include the assessment structure and criteria, scheme of work, weekly plans, teaching notes, student lists and attendance records. The relevant staff of both institutions review course outlines and agree on any necessary adjustments that may need to be made. Assessment of Student Work Student work will be graded clearly with marking sheets with appropriate comments for student feedback. Review of Student Work Student work completed during the semester that has been reviewed by Taylors School of Engineering lecturers will be retrieved and presented at a scheduled time to external moderators. Board of Examiners Meeting Moderation will conclude with a Board of Examiners Meeting chaired by the Dean. The members of the Board of Examiners will comprise the Head of Registry, Programme Directors, Stream Coordinators, External Examiner, staff from Examination Centre and all full-time and part-time lecturers. A list of total students and their marks, grades and awards for all subjects, will be presented to all members of the Board for deliberation. The Board will pay particular attention to students requiring particular adjudication, for example, marginal failure and recommendation for resit examination or exclusion. The marks, grades and awards determined and confirmed at the Board of Examiners Meeting are final and can only be changed as a result of a student submitting to the appeals process. Moderation Report Moderator(s) from the industry shall prepare Moderation Reports after the conclusion of the Board of Examiners Meetings. The Programme Directors will submit a written feedback with suitable input by the relevant staff of the Taylors School of Engineering. 43

OTHER POLICIES AND REGULATIONSAwareness of Requirements It is the students responsibility to ensure they are fully informed of all aspects of the assessment process. Students need to be very clear about what is required in each subject. These requirements are provided in subject outlines that are provided to students at the beginning of the semester. Different subjects have quite different requirements. These may include preparation for classes, class participation, completing an independent learning task or working with other students on a collaborative project. Participation Students are encouraged to participate in classes that are set aside for discussion. Listening to and considering other views and expressing opinions about a topic assist in developing critical and analytical skills. Standard Academic Load The standard academic load is 15 credit hours a semester. Subjects cannot be dropped without prior approval from the Divisional Office. Students are also not allowed to register for more than the standard academic load without approval from the Divisional Office. Subject Withdrawal See Add/Drop Subject under General Rules and Regulations and the Academic Calendar with respect to the deadlines and related status for dropping a subject. A student who wishes to discontinue a subject is advised to first consult the Dean. If withdrawal of a subject is made within the first 2 weeks of the semester, no notation of the subject will be made on the transcript. If withdrawal of a subject is made between week 5 and week 7 (inclusive) of the semester, a Withdraw Not Fail (WD) notation will be made in the transcript. If withdrawal of a subject is made between week 8 and week 11 (inclusive) of the semester, a Withdraw Fail (WF) notation will be made in the transcript. Late Submission of Work and Extensions to Deadlines The School imposes a late submission penalty for work submitted late without a valid reason e.g. a medical certificate. A student must notify the Divisional Office within 48 hours to ensure that the Board of Examiners is notified of the evidence. The evidence will aid the Board to reach a decision to assess the student by whatever means it sees fit but care will be taken to ensure that the student is not put at an unfair advantage over other students. Individual members of staff shall be permitted to grant extensions for assessed work that they have set if they are satisfied that a student has given good reasons. Late Submission Penalty Any work submitted after the deadline (which may have been extended) shall have the percentage grade assigned to the work on face value reduced by 10% for the first day and 5% for each subsequent day late. A weekend counts as 1 day. Lecturers reserve the right to not accept work submitted more than 1 week late. The Board of Examiners may overrule any penalty imposed and allow the actual mark achieved to be used if the late submission was with a good reason.

ASSESSMENT AND GRADINGAssessment in School of Engineering serves a variety of purposes: to aid student learning by providing expert feedback on performance; to aid teaching by providing feedback on student learning; to demonstrate that requirements have been met for the award of the degree; to provide employers with a basis for judging levels of academic performance. Assessment normally will be in part progressive in that marks will be earned for a range of assessments completed during the semester. Individual subject outlines will indicate the allocation of marks for each component. To complete a subject satisfactorily, each student must satisfy the requirements as set out in each subject outline. Students seeking a review of assessment on any item of progressive assessment should approach their lecturer directly. Students will be assessed in all subjects. Students must attempt all wor
