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. OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the Engineering Team Project (ETP) course are as follows:
Note: These are NOT the objectives of the project work you are working on.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The following lecturers are appointed by the Head of the Mechanical Engineering
Programme as the ETP Coordinators.
6. SUPERVISORS
Each student must forward logbooks individually to the supervisor during weekly
meetings. The verified logbook shall be returned at the end of the meeting. Each student
shall bring the compilation of the logbooks to the weekly meeting.
9. EVALUATION
The individual score during oral presentation (Appendix VIII), the F-factor, described
in Section 8, and peer evaluation (Appendix XXII) will be used to differentiate the
individual score for each student in a group. The F-Factor (see Table 1 and
Appendix X) will be incorporated in the project proposal, progress report, fabrication
evaluation and final report as illustrated in Appendix XI. Each student will also be
evaluated based on prescribed criteria by other members of the team, by means of peer
evaluation (Appendix XXII). Instructions on peer evaluation will be provided
approximately in the last 3 weeks of the semester.
In building the prototype or model, each group may request project fund of up to RM 200
to purchase approved components or materials that are not available in laboratories at
UTP. Figure 1 shows the ETP Purchase Requisition Flow Chart that students need to
