The teaching staff will provide lecture and tutorial support and academic guidance. The technical support staff will help you with your work in the laboratories. The administrative staff will help you with everything to do with your programme administrati on. Each student will be assigned an academic advisor advisor for the duration of their studies. studies. The academic advisor is one of our lecturers who will advise and guide you on your programme. He/she will help you in choosing the courses to register for any particular semester and also assist you if you experience any academic problems. Please meet your academic adviser early in your programme and see them often. I am sure you will find them friendly and helpful. Our programmes are structured into semesters and are broad-based with a strong emphasis on basic fundamentals. Towards the end, you have some choice in the areas you would wish to specialize. These specialized technical electives are courses that are of great demand and need by the industry and the nation at large. These are coupled with strong emphasis on development of soft skills such as communication, leadership and management, and nurturing humanities values, to mould you into a well-rounded and competent professional engineer in harmony with holistic societal values. We would like to produce engineers who are career resilience, i.e. always equip themselves with the latest tools, technology and skills to be able to adapt and are ever ready to apply them to any work environment. The college staff works hard to produce a high quality and innovative educational experience for our students. Our programmes are accredited by Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and the bachelor programmes are recognized by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC). In order to ensure that all the bachelor programmes offered in COE are relevant to the industry, Outcome Based Education (OBE) is implemented in all the engineering bachelor programmes. OBE requires that inputs from all stake-holders are sought in designing and reviewing the programme curriculum and clear statement of Programme Educational Objectives (PEO) and Programme Outcomes are required. In order to ensure that the quality of the programmes are continuously improved, a clear Continual Quality Improvement (CQI) system which requires measurement of achievement of of the outcomes while the students are in UNITEN and after they leave UNITEN, analyze the results and use them to continuously improve the quality of the programme. All students are encouraged to be involved in out of class activities which will enrich their learning experience. Various activities are arranged from time to time by either the student societies or the college such as industrial talks, industrial visits, internal and external engineering related competitions etc. Your involvement in the activities will be given SCORUN points which will be accumulated until your graduation. On behalf of the college, I wish you a successful and enjoyable experience as a student in COE. Thank you. Yours sincerely,
Professor Dr. Mohd. Zamri Yusoff Dean, College of Engineering

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING
The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering offers courses leading to the award of Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Hons.) (BEEE)
(KPT/JPS(KR10504)06/14) Bachelor of Computer and Communication Engineering (Hons.) (BCCE)
(Approved by MQA & MOHE (N/523/6/0070)) These programs are designed to prepare students for professional careers and higher advancement in the area of communication, electronics, computers, control systems, signal processing, power engineering and other related areas. The curriculums for these undergraduate programs require a strong foundation in mathematics, calculus, physics, computer literacy and programming. Engineering courses begin from the first year itself and include topics, among others, electrical circuits, electronics, digital logic design, microprocessors, signals & system, control systems, and data communication and network. In addition to these topics, students taking BEEE programme will also be exposed to specialized topics such as electrical machines & drives, power systems, process control and instrumentation, communication systems; while students enrolling in BCCE will be exposed to topics related to computer architectures, operating systems, embedded systems, communication electronics, and digital communications. Laboratory works which include electrical measurement techniques, application of non-linear devices, digital logic design, electrical machines, microprocessor, signal processing, computer networks and communication are intended to reinforce the principles obtained in the classroom. In addition, many engineering courses are classified as design courses and complemented by computer aided engineering software as simulation and design tools, thus further consolidating the understanding of engineering principles and its application. Students are also required to take language and social science courses to make them become more wellbalanced in terms of technical and social knowledge and skills. In the end of the third year, students will go through industrial training where they will be attached with industries all over Malaysia. This provides insights to students on the real working environment outside. During the final year, the students are free to choose several topics from technical electives, to specialize deeper in an area of their interest. They can choose to streamline to a particular options grouping. Design project courses (the Capstone Design and the Final Year Project) during the final year will aid students in gaining experience of current technology and equipment usage as well as provide opportunities to apply engineering principles that they have acquired earlier on, and even further advance into investigative research.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering strives to provide quality education to prepare students for position in industry, commerce and academic. The comprehensive and innovative content and teaching techniques adopted are designed towards expanding the frontiers of learning and inculcating a probing mind. Students will be challenged to develop into multi-skilled professionals possessing mental, intellectual and emotional fortitude to succeed in life. The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers the following programmes, Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Hons.), Master of Mechanical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering. Over the past 15 years, the Department has grown tremendously, from only 95 students in 1997 to the current number of more than 1400 students and from only 4 academic staff in 1997 to more than 70 at present. The curricula, further enhanced with project work, research, open-ended experiments and practical training, are designed with inputs from the industrial and commercial sectors as well as from local and foreign universities. The emphasis is towards producing professionals to fulfil the needs of industry and commerce in particular and the nation in general. More specifically, graduates from this course will have the knowledge and competencies required to become competent Mechanical Engineer, Design Engineer, Failure Analysis Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, Sales Engineer, Academia and Mechanical Engineering Consultants. The Mechanical Engineering programme provides a strong base in the Mechanical Engineering with a wellestablished balance between theory and experiments during the four years of study. The curriculum consists of a good mix of general courses as well as core Mechanical Engineering courses. A total of 127 credit hours of courses being taught in 8 semesters and on average there are 5-6 courses per semester being taught. The programme also contains a compulsory Industrial Training attachment after semester 6 for a period of not less than 12 weeks. The idea of this attachment is to enable students to gain firsthand experience in industry as well as an insight to how theories are put into practice in the real engineering situations. This short attachment in industry was beneficial as it provides the intellectual challenge to students especially in the final year and when carrying out their final year project. The programmes are complemented by laboratory work. The department has ten laboratories, which are: Machine Shop Mechanics of Materials Machine Design Advanced Manufacturing Automation and Robotics Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Engineering Computational Fluid Dynamics Instrumentation and Measurement Fluid Mechanics Applied Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer Internal Combustion Engine

The program is also designed to provide students with the educational base to progress to Professional Engineer status as well as to undertake Master of Civil Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy from UNITEN and other reputable institutions of higher learning . The Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours) is a 4-year programme where undergraduate students will study courses in civil engineering in the following areas:
Structural Engineering. Geotechnical Engineering. Transportation & Highway Engineering.
Water Engineering. Environmental Engineering. Project Management and Construction.
In addition to the above, undergraduate students will also study other technical courses such as Engineering Surveying, Engineering Geology, Computer Programming, Engineers in Society and Computer Aided Design and Drafting Technology. The use of computer applications and software is integrated throughout the program. Students will also study English and Malay languages, technical communication, moral/religious studies and humanities in order to produce engineers who are technically competent with strong commitment to ethics and professionalism and able to communicate effectively which are all essential for students to build successful career. Undergraduate students will undertake a capstone design project in their final year. It is a team design project applying engineering and project management principles for a multidisciplinary design which would involve an integration of all aspects of Civil Engineering namely Environmental, Geotechnical, Water Supply, Sewerage, Structural, Transportation and Project Management, with the design process from conceptual and preliminary design to final design for construction purposes. It requires that each student demonstrate the ability to complete a significant engineering design using the knowledge gained as an undergraduate in the Civil Engineering program. Undergraduate students will undergo industrial training at the end of the third year where students will be exposed to the various aspects of industrial practices and ethics and to acquire knowledge and skills of practical nature which are needed for their professional development. Students are also required to undertake research activities in their final year. The Final Year Project courses provide opportunities for students to acquire knowledge through research activities and to apply this knowledge to real life problems. The Department of Civil Engineering has a total of ten (10) undergraduate laboratories which are:
Civil Engineering Materials Structural Engineering Soil Mechanics Geotechnical Engineering Engineering Geology

SUPPORT SERVICES Academic Advisors Upon entry into the program, you are assigned to an academic advisor. Your advisor is responsible for helping you to do well academically and succeed in graduating. Your advisor can help with many things, including: being sure your course schedule for each term is appropriate; getting help for any special problems you may have; explaining academic procedures; and helping you increase your understanding of the engineering curricula.
You are to make an appointment each semester to see your advisor to prepare your class schedule. Please do not make an appointment during your class times. Please be on time for your appointment. If you cannot attend the appointment, notify your advisor at least one day before your scheduled appointment. UNITEN Student Development Implementation Committee The UNITEN Student Development Implementation Committee (USDIC) concerns on the development of students especially in academic matters. Other than organizing motivation programmes for students, it also offers additional academic support for students who have CGPA of 2.3 and less. The consultation sessions are conducted by lecturers who have undergone basic counselling training. Faculty Consultation Lecturers expect the students to talk to them about any problems or questions related to their academic work or field of study. The lecturers’ support and encouragement to the students are integral parts of engineering education.
Students will have the opportunity to ask the lecturer questions and to get help with problems, in class, in a recitation section, or in the lecturer’s office. The lecturer will expect students to participate in class discussion and activities. Students may seek help in completing assignments, but the work submitted must be their own. Students should not ask for a grade from any lecturer. They receive the grade that they have worked for and earned in each course. The quality of a student’s work may be measured in various ways, and frequently, so that they will have several opportunities to demonstrate their abilities. The lecturer will expect them to attend class regularly and to hand in all assigned work on time. Students will be treated courteously in class, and they must return the courtesy. Students will be expected to read a considerable amount of material, not in a leisurely fashion, but under pressure of deadlines. ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Assessment Scheme The evaluation of each subject is done on a scale and the on-going assessments agreed upon by the college as approved by the university. The performance of a student is based on the following; i) On-going assessment based on scheduled tests, assignments/projects and quizzes. Not more than 70% of the total number of marks will be allocated for the on-going assessments and each component will not be allocated more than 30% of those marks. ii) Final examination will be comprehensive and will be held at the end of the semester for each subject. Not less than 30% of the total number of marks will be allocated for the final exam.
The evaluation for practical training will be according to that stipulated by the college upon the approval of the university.
103
Attendance A student must attend not less than 80% of the contact hours of the subject concerned. Action will be taken against students whose attendance is less than 80% of the contact hours without a valid reason. The student may be barred from attending further classes and from taking any form of assessment. Grading System His/her Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) indicate a student’s performance. The following table is a general summary of the assessment:
Grade A+ A AB+ B BC+ C CD+ D E
Grade Points 4.00 4.00 3.67 3.33 3.00 2.67 2.33 2.00 1.67 1.33 1.00 0.00
Grade Point Average (GPA) Your grade point average (GPA) is based on your work each semester; you will have a separate GPA for each semester you are in the program. It is determined as follows: (1) Multiply the number of credit hours assigned to a course by the number of grade points to determine the number of credit points , or quality points, corresponding to the grade you received. (2) Add all the credit points. (3) Divide that sum by the total number of credit hours for which you received a grade.

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) Your cumulative grade point average (CGPA) includes all the course work you have completed in the program. Your CGPA is calculated in the same way that your GPA is computed. The difference is that while only one semester’s worth of courses are considered in your GPA, courses from all your semesters in the program count in your CGPA.

Repeating A Core Subject
Students who fail a compulsory subject are required to retake the subject until they obtain a passing grade. For the purpose of CGPA calculation, all subjects/courses registered including failed subjects/courses will be taken into account in the calculation. A recalculation of CGPA will be done when a student “repeat and replace” a subject/course. Students are allowed to “repeat and replace” their subject/course grades obtained for all their courses throughout their study period but within the maximum study period as stipulated in the Academic Regulation, and the best grade will be included in the CGPA calculation. Besides the letter grades A,B,C,D,E the following status is also applied : BS = Incomplete
A student is given an incomplete if he/she did not sit for the examination or did not complete the assignments (e.g. Projects) by the stipulated date due to ill health as certified by a medical officer or for other reasons upon the approval of the College Dean/Unit Head. The student is then required to sit for a special exam, to replace the missed exam or is required to complete the assignment by a date stipulated by the College Dean/Unit Head. The extended deadlines must be of reasonable length.
PK = Credit Transfer
A student is granted a credit transfer for a particular subject in accordance with the regulations. The student is considered not to have fulfilled the credit hours for the UNIVERSITY subjects.
LU or = Pass or GA Fail
A student is given P/F for a subject where it is difficult to determine and award a letter grade or for the time spent at the industrial training. In such a subject, the grade Pass will be awarded if the student has met the requirements satisfactorily. The grade Fail will be awarded if the student has not met the requirements. The grade P/F is not calculated in the GPA and CGPA, but students who secure a Fail will have to repeat the subject until he/she secures a Pass.
TD = Withdraw
A student withdraws from the program after the deadline (as specified in the Academic Regulations section 3.9.2 but before the date specified in 3.9.3). The subject withdrawn is not calculated in the CGPA but it is recorded in the transcript.
AU = Audit -
A student registers with the intention of attending classes but is not assessed.
105
Academic Standing A student’s performance is evaluated using the CGPA. A student’s academic achievement is determined at the end of each semester by using the CGPA as shown in the following table. Academic Standing Achievement Level
CGPA
Good Standing (KB)
CGPA
Probation (KP)
2.00
CGPA < 2.00
A student is placed on academic probation when the student’s CGPA is less than 2.00 for one semester. A student whose CGPA is less than 2.00 for two semesters consecutively will be dismissed. The academic standing of a student of a special semester is not determined although the CGPA is calculated as usual. The CGPA of a student with a diploma from this university who has been accepted to further his/her studies at the degree level will be calculated beginning from the first semester of studies. Dean’s List
A student who obtains a GPA 3.50 and has grades of not more than C in any subject taken during that semester and carries a work load of 12 credit hours wil l be included in the Dean’s list in the following semester.
