Course AIMS

The main objective of the Final Year Project is to provide a platform for you to demonstrate your  ability to apply your  knowledge and skills gained from coursework studies and practicum work. This course helps you to gain confidence and experience  in tackling project work independently which should contribute to your  effective transition to the job market upon graduation.

Intended Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you (as a student) would be able to:

1. Undertake projects independently so that under similar professional requirement as engineers, he/s he will be able to perform literature review, involving research and critical evaluation skills, acquire technical knowledge of the subject matter independently and complete projects successfully.
2. Make sound decisions, to progress and develop time and resource management skills to complete the project successfully.
3. Write good quality technical reports so that readers can understand the significance of the problems addressed and the application of engineering knowledge in reaching the solutions presented within the reports.
   
4. Deliver presentations that are required as engineers.
   

Course Content

Projects may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following areas: Design, Product development, Software development, Laboratory investigation, Computing and analysis, Field testing and instrumentation and Feasibility studies. Besides project proposals generated by its own academic staff, the School also works with outside partners including the A*STAR Research Institutes and industrial companies to  propose relevant projects.

Reading and References

As content is project-dependent, students are expected to seek references that are relevant to the projects.
