3. SCOPE OF PROJECT

The scope of the project includes:

To generate conceptual designs


To perform necessary engineering calculations
To generate engineering drawings of the selected concept
To develop a working model or prototype

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. The feasibility and suitability of a project to be taken
as an ETP project are assessed by using the Project Assessment Rubric in Appendix II.

4. SUMMARY OF PROJECT WORK

Please refer to Appendix I for the schedule of the present semester.

4.1 Project Proposal

Each group shall discuss among members to come out with a suitable and feasible project
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 III.

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.

4.2 Progress Report
A progress report must be submitted to the supervisor by the due date specified in
Appendix I. The report will be graded based on the marking scheme in Appendix IV. The
report, which shall not exceed 12 pages including the appendices, shall comprise:
details of the activities that need to be carried out
identification of potential problems
a few conceptual designs that have been considered
necessary preliminary engineering calculations, data collection and benefit-cost
analysis that have been used in deciding the final design.

4.3 Development of Prototype / Model


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 V for the
guidelines of the assessment.

4.4 Poster Presentation


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 VI 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.
Selected posters will be exhibited in the Engineering Design Exhibition (SEDEX), 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.

4.5 Demonstration / Simulation of 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 VII.
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 SEDEX.
