(Knowledge Profile)
Introduction of Knowledge Profile (WK)
EAC definition:
• According to EAC manual 2017, WK is built-in based on the Programme
outcomes (POs).
PO Outcomes Description WK
1 Engineering Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering 1-4
Knowledge fundamentals and an engineering specialisation as specified in
WK1 to WK4 respectively to the solution of complex
engineering problems
2 Problem Analysis Identify, formulate, conduct research literature and analyse 1-4
complex engineering problems reaching substantiated
conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural
sciences and engineering sciences
3 Design/Develop Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design 5
ment of Solutions systems, components or processes that meet specified needs
with appropriate consideration for public health and safety,
cultural, societal, and environmental considerations
4 Investigation Conduct investigation of complex engineering problems using 8
research-based knowledge and research methods including
design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and
synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions;
• According to EAC manual 2017, WK is built-in based on the Programme
outcomes (POs).
PO Outcomes Description WK
5 Modern Tool Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and 6
Usage modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and
modelling, to complex engineering problems, with an
understanding of the limitations

SOP to include WK in the course information (CI)
• Step 1: Identify the POs in your CI. Only PO1-8 are related to WK.
In the CI of SMJP1013
(Engineering drawing
with AutoCAD), only
PO1, 2 and 3 are
involved.
• Step 2:
i)For PO3-8, specific WK is provided, as shown in the manual (click here). Please include
it accordingly in your CI under WK tab.
ii) PO1-2 covers WK1-4 (Click here for definition). Please identify which WK is more suitable
in your subjects, and include it accordingly in your CI.
Example: PO3 in
SMJP1013 is
equivalent to WK5.
In the CI of SMJP3303
(Integrated Design
Project), only PO1, 2
and 3 are involved.
• Step 2:
i) PO1 covers at least WP1. (Click here for definition). Please identify other WP (2-4) which is
more suitable in your subjects, and include it accordingly in your CI.
ii)For other PO (2-7), Please refer to EAC manual (click here). and include it accordingly
in your CI under WP tab.
Example: PO3 of
SMJP 3303 is
equivalent to WP6.
In the CI of SMJP3303
(Integrated Design
Project), only PO9 is
involved in EA.
• Step 2:
i) Select the suitable EA for PO9 in your subject. (Click here for definition).
Example: PO9 in
SMJP3303 is
more related to
EA3.
• Step 3: please leave it blank for PO 1-8, 10-12 as these POs are not
related to complex engineering activities.
Planning of complex problem solving for MPE
Justification:
• Proposed subjects: • Involve various fundamental knowledges in various
1) Engineering component design fields, For example: solid mechanics, fluid
mechanics, vibrations, statics, mathematics and
2) Integrated Design Project (IDP) other software tools.
3) Monozukuri
• In-depth engineering knowledge is required.
4) FYP 1
5) FYP 2 • No obvious solutions –open ended.
2) IDP
-Knowledge required: extensive application of physics, mathematics and core mechanical engineering
principles (solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, manufacturing, computer simulation, etc.)
-Student assessment is based on the student's ability to design, synthesize, and model the best solution from
the given complex engineering problem
WP: 2,3,7; EA:3
Specific Justification:
3) Monozukuri
-Knowledge involved: product development process and blended Japanese philosophy -a good craftsmanship spirit.
-The scope of work consists of fabrication process which utilizes advances machines, continues with product testing and
optimization (open-ended design)
WP: 3,4,6; EA:3
4) FYP 1
-knowledge required: combination of all the fundamental engineering and mathematical knowledges that learned in the course
(problem identification and knowledge on proposing appropriate solutions.)
-Emphasizes on the research philosophy and methodology (open-ended problem)
-in depth knowledge is needed on that various research fields (multi-disciplinary)
WP: 1,3,5,6; EA:4,5
5) FYP 2
-knowledge required: analytical/experimental/simulation works /studies fields (multi-disciplinary)
-work independently, able to present their findings.
