FYP INTRODUCTION
a subject that must be completed by final year students as a requirement to receive the bachelor of engineering degree. 2 semesters to work on a task that is related to a student’s field of interest. students are expected to do their work independently most of the time, but their progress will be monitored closely by their supervisors. students will have to document their work in a thesis which must be hard bounded and submitted to the school.
FYP AIM
“The aim of the FYP is to give students opportunity to apply the knowledge that they have gained while studying in UNIMAP to solve
practical engineering problems. By doing so, it is hoped that the students will gain knowledge and
experience in solving problems systematically therefore when they graduate, they will be ready
to work as reliable and productive engineers.”
TEACHING PLAN (COURSE OUTCOME)
1) Ability to design and conduct experiment for a given problem.2) Ability to analyze data from the experiment.3) Ability to write and present findings in a form of a thesis and presentation.
GRADING SCHEME
Contribution from supervisor (100%)
Contribution from supervisor (60%) & internal examiner (40%)
Contribution from internal examiner – 100%[Internal examiner I (50%) & internal examiner II (50%)]
Percentage of overall assessment
LOG BOOK (compulsory)
The FYP Log Book is an important document that must be completed by all the FYP students The progress evaluation marks given by supervisors will partially be based on what student write in their log books. Students are required to record their weekly activities and write a short log to summarize their findings or accomplishments every week (supervisor signature) Log Book format
“The School (with supervisor’s approval) can give a student the E
grade if the student-supervisor meeting is less than six (6) times
for the whole semester.”
LOG BOOK (compulsory)
FILE/FOLDER (recommended)
Students are highly encouraged to maintain a separate fileor folder to compile all their findings/sketches/printouts/datasheets as a complement to the log book. This can beused as evidence to support the claims as written in thelogbook.
Suggestion:Always bring these 2 items when meeting your supervisor
1)LOG BOOK2)FILE/FOLDER
RELATED FORM
1) Chemical order Form (Supervisor Approval)
2) Changing of FYP Title/Supervisor (Supervisor, New Supervisor and FYP Coordinator Approval)
PLAGIARISM
“Plagiarism is the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of
another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.”
(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism)
Students who are caught plagiarizing other people’s work can fail their FYP if there are enough evidence.Evidence can be found relatively easy now by using several software tools such as:• Internet Search Engines• Directories• Online book reviews• Anti-plagiarism software
PLAGIARISM
Therefore:• learn how to cite/acknowledge other people’s work correctly.
“Realize that the whole point of the FYP is to give you an opportunity to learn how to apply
and expand your knowledge. If you cheat, then you will deny yourself from your own personal
development”
PLAGIARISM
