Introduction
FYP Project
6 credit hours
2 semesters project
It is an individual Project

Working under guidance of supervisor(s)

Objective
Objective of FYP
The objective of the project is to develop a framework, which

applying knowledge,
expanding thoughts,
solving problems independently and
presenting findings through minimum guidance and
supervision.

Scope of work
The scope of the work can be
Laboratory experiments
Modeling / Simulations /
Plant project

Students are to explore

research/design problems,
build research/design objectives,
apply appropriate methodology,
analyse and/or produce the outcomes and report the
findings.

The project work must exhibit element of originality,

which indicates the maturity level for the final year
bachelor degree programme.

Project Allocation!
The project allocation will be done by distributing
students to supervisor
Students will not select the titles.
Supervisor will not select the students
Should the students proposed a project, the allocated
supervisor will consider and decide on the project.
All students are assumed to be able to take any FYP B
Eng project regardless of their interest.
Supervisor will design a project that suits every B Eng
students in which unlike MSc project, specialization of
undergraduate students are not taken into account.
