FEATURES OF THE ENGINEERING PROGRAMMES The 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 other’s 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, Taylor’s 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.

8

• 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 industry’s needs and expectations of today’s 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.

Cost Savings and Flexibility

• Students can complete their entire degree studies at Taylor's, which translates to significant cost savings.

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. MPW 2113 Bahasa Kebangsaan A

MODERATION GUIDELINES

Subject 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 Taylor’s 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 Taylor’s School of Engineering.

OTHER POLICIES AND REGULATIONS Awareness of Requirements It is the student’s 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 GRADING

Assessment 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 work prescribed in any particular subject. A variety of assessment modes are employed such as assignments, coursework, projects, group work and presentation, report, class participation, tutorials, mid-semester tests, quizzes and final semester examinations. The final grade for each subject will be derived from a combination of all assessment marks and, if applicable, the final examination mark. Students will be notified of their grades, not the actual percentage scores in each subject undertaken during the semester. The possible grades that may appear on official transcripts are indicated below: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Chemical Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Electrical & Electronic Engineering and Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Mechanical Engineering

Calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA) GPA = Summation of (credits x grade points) for all subjects Total credits for the semester Example: A student obtains the following grades

Subject Credit Load Grade Grade Points Total Grade Point

ENG1113 4 A- 3.33 13.32

ENG1223 4 A 4.00 16.00

ENG1243 3 B+ 3.00 9.00

ENG1513 4 B- 2.33 9.32

MPW2113 3 A 4.00 12.00

Total 18 59.64

Calculation of Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) CGPA = Summation of (credits x grade points) for all subjects thus far Total credits for all semesters The CGPA gives an overview of how well the student is doing so far over the entire duration of his/her study. The final CGPA, after completion of the total number of credits required to graduate from a particular programme, determines the class of degree to be awarded to the student.

Each semester of study will result in a GPA for each student – this sums up how well a student has performed during the entire semester

GPA = 59.64 / 18 = 3.31

GENERAL ACADEMIC PROGRESSION RULES

Course Progression

Students may take a subject only after passing the prerequisite, if any. Whenever a timetable clash occurs, students must complete subjects from a lower level or semester prior to undertaking a higher level subject. A student must obtain a grade point average of at least 2.00 for a semester, except practicum to proceed with a full load the following semester. Otherwise the student will be placed under Academic Probation. Academic Probation A student who, for the first time, achieves a cumulative grade point average, CGPA of less than 2.00 and / or fails half of all their subjects taken in a particular semester will be placed on Academic Probation 1. Students in this category will be assigned to an academic advisor and are required to report for individual counseling on a regular basis. The academic advisor will review the study plan for the student. Should a student under Academic Probation 1 obtain a cumulative grade point average, CGPA of less than 2.00 and / or fail half of all their total subjects in the subsequent semester, he/she will be placed on Academic

Probation 2. Students in this category will be assigned to an academic advisor and are required to report for individual counseling on a regular basis. The academic advisor will review the study plan for the student. The student will also not be permitted to take the standard academic load. A student who fails to clear Academic Probation 2, meaning that their CGPA has not improved and/or that they have failed half of their total subjects, will be excluded from the programme.

Pass and Marginal Pass

A minimum grade C is required for a pass in all subjects under the category of Core, Electives and MQA Compulsory Subjects. A minimum grade D- is required for subjects under the category of Electives. Students need to repeat subjects below the specified pass for the respective categories.

Resit Examination

A student who fails a subject with a final grade of D+, D or D- will be allowed to resit the examination or resubmit an assessment for the failed subject, to be determined by the Board of Examiners, before the commencement of the next semester. The maximum passing grade awarded for the resit examination will be a grade C (RS), irrespective of the actual mark of the resit examination/assessment. Repeating Subjects Students who obtain a grade C and above for a subject may not repeat the subject. However, subjects with a grade D+ and below are eligible for a repeat. Students repeating the subject(s) will be assessed and given the actual grade achieved. A student is allowed a maximum of 3 attempts per subject. A resit examination/assessment is not considered an attempt.

48

Alternative Examinations

If a student is unable to attend / attempt the final examination with a valid reason, they can be offered an alternative examination at a later time, typically within a week. Students should submit a Request for Alternative Examination (Illness/ Misadventure before Examination) Form to the Examination Centre within 48 hours of the examination. They must consult a professional authority (such as medical practitioner) and should complete a Request for Alternative Examination Form which must be submitted to the Examination Centre no later than 3 working days after the said examination.

Special Considerations

Students who, because of illness or other circumstances beyond their control, experience difficulty in meeting assessment requirements or believe that their performance in an assessment will be affected, must submit a Request for Special Consideration Form to the Divisional Office within 24 hours of, if not before the assessment or the due date of the assessment task. Applications for extension of the period of submission of assessments shall be lodged with the Divisional Office.

Supplementary Examinations

Supplementary Examinations are given to students who are in the final (graduating) semester of the programme who have failed one subject. The student will be allowed to sit for this examination which will be held within two weeks from the date the results are released.

• Failure to attend or failing a supplementary examination will mean the student will have to repeat the subject in the following semester.

• The Board of Examiners will determine which form of supplementary assessment is to be undertaken by a student that they deem eligible for supplementary assessment: to re-sit the final examination or to resubmit an assignment for the failed subject.

• The maximum passing grade awarded for the re-assessed subject will be a grade C, irrespective of the actual mark of the re-sit examination / re-submitted assignment.

Maximum Completion Time Except where otherwise provided, the maximum time to complete the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Chemical Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Electrical & Electronic Engineering and Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Mechanical Engineering is 6 years. This shall not include periods of approved leave of absence from the course. Exclusion A student will be excluded from the programme under the following circumstances: � Failing to obtain a grade point average of at least 2.00 for three consecutive semesters. � Failing to complete the programme within the maximum completion time. � Failing a subject after three attempts. Students who have been excluded may not be readmitted into the same programme.
