Doctor of Philosophy (Environmental Engineering - Soil Bioremediation)

JUNE 2006 – NOV 2007

Master of Engineering in Environmental Management

1st time teach
on this
JUNE 2002 – JUNE 2006 course

Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) in Civil Engineering

Learning Outcomes
After completing this course, the students should be able to:

1. Apply the knowledge of integrals techniques to solve mathematical problems. [C3, PLO1]
2. Discuss technically and critically performs a presentation to the given mathematical in
engineering problems. [P3, PLO2]
3. Independently proceeds life long learning in a guided PBL projects (A2 : PLO6)

C3: Application = Solve, Show, Use, Illustrate, Construct, Complete, Examine, Classify, Choose, Interpret, Make, Put
together, Change, Apply, Produce, Translate, Calculate, Manipulate, Modify, put into practice.
PLO 1: Acquire and apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering fundamentals to civil engineering field (K)
P2: Set - readiness to act
PLO 2: Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools,
including prediction and modeling, to complex civil engineering activities, with an understanding of the
limitations.
A2: Respond to phenomena. Active participation on the part of the learners
PLO 6: Recognize the need for and to engage in, life-long learning and professional development

Lecture (Task Based Learning) Trial!!
Planning for 2 hours Lecture:

30 minutes:
Explanation: Lecturer will be explained the theory and steps of solving the equation by using the suitable method.

3 - 5 minutes:
Give Question: Lecturer will give an equation to be solved by the students.

60 minutes:
Solution: Students should discuss in groups to solve the equation. Lecturers will monitor the discussions and will
select the candidates for the presentation. When in discussion session, students can communicate with lecturer if not
understand the subject or having problem during solving the problem.

25 minutes:
Presentation: Lecturers will call a student for the presentation. Student will be given a marker pen and need to show
the step of solving the equation on the whiteboard. When the student shows a solution, other students need to be
aware and should indicate if a mistake is made.
