FINAL YEAR PROJECT (DIPLOMA)

1.0INTRODUCTION

Final Year Project (FYP) is a requirement for students to be awarded Diploma by

Kolej Kemahiran Tinggi MARA. The project will be carried out during the final year

and students will either work individually or in a team of two students under the

supervision of respective department academic members. At the end of the project,

each student is required to submit a report and present his work to a panel of

examiners.

2.0OBJECTIVES

The aim of FYP is to provide the opportunity for students to apply and integrate

theoretical knowledge and principles, taught in the course, in solving technical

problems. It also provides the opportunity for the students to demonstrate

independence and originality, as well as to plan and organize a project over a certain

period of time. Throughout this course, students should also be able to:

1. Document all findings and problems encountered during the implementation.

2. Apply practical hands-on techniques in process, quality control and related

analysis in their specialized program.

3. Demonstrate the procedures and methods of project implementation.

4. Execute the sequence in various steps required to produce / manufacture / test

/ solve / improve real life industrial projects problems.

5. Analyze findings and results of the project.

6. Produce a technical report and make a presentation.


4/35

3.0CREDITS & DURATION

The whole project carries 4 credits. Students will select or propose the title of the

project at the end of Semester 4 and the Implementation of the FYP will be in

Semester 5.

(Refer to Appendix A1, A2 and A3).

4.0SCOPE OF PROJECTS

Projects should be sufficiently challenging to allow the students to demonstrate a

variety of skills, including the ability to plan their work, perform the necessary

research, manage their time and resources adequately, work independently, show

initiative and originality and present their work orally and in writing.

4.1Projects can be

i) laboratory experimentation

ii) build and test

iii)analytical work

iv)numerical simulations

4.2Industrial based projects

KKTM Ledang always encourages projects which are related to industrial

problems to give students experience of the actual problems faced in the

industry.


5/35

5.0TITLE SELECTION

The projects title may be proposed by the department academic members or students
