This PO relates to how an individual able to creatively solve complex engineering challenges by implementing the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering practices, innovation techniques, entrepreneurship and human factors. 

 

The first module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is the Engineering Design and Innovation. This module requires my group to identify and solve the complex engineering challenges that has business value. In order to come out with an innovative solution into the challenge, my group had utilized the 'UOIP' (Understand, Observe, Ideate, Prototype) design thinking technique and came upon to a solution of eliminating the tedious and manual cleaning work through innovating the traditional cleaning method. The Ishikawa diagram technique, Six Thinking Hats, Trimming technique, Random Entry and Body Storming were applied throughout this 'UOIP' design thinking technique into obtaining the root cause of this challenge and finally an innovative solution was found. Hence, a Multi-functional Detachable Autonomous Cleaning Robots with a metal detecting function that can be controlled by a Bluetooth module was created. For this project, my group had won the best innovative design award during the Engineering Fair. 

 

The second module that can be mapped into this program outcome is the Electronics and Microprocessor. For this assignment, my group had developed a semi-autonomous solar panel cleaning robot consisting of few subsystems which are the motion and dust monitoring system. To successfully create this product, we had implemented our programming and electrical knowledge to integrate all the electronic components into a working system. This includes the programming of the relay system, ultrasonic sensors, dust sensors, motors and Arduino mega.

This PO relates to how an individual able to provide a solution and comes with a supported conclusion of an engineering challenge through identification, formulation, analysis and documentation.

​

The first module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is the Theory of Machines and Mechanism. For this assignment, I am required to access and identify the suitability of the car for the fresh graduate and young executives from two different suppliers. A few aspects were taken into consideration into analyzing these cars such as the climb ability, the response of the vehicle (high and low speed), fuel consumption, regulation and also the after market value. A clear justifications regarding every aspects were stated after comparisons were done on these 2 different car suppliers. A final conclusion and recommendation was drawn after analyzing the results to determine the best suited car for the users. 

​

The second module that can be mapped into this program outcome is the Design of Engineering Components and Systems. For this module assignment, my group had studied the most optimum specifications of the components in designing a system which can withstand the high pressure tank load. The components involved in this design were the spring, rivet, bolt and power screw. To identify the most suitable specifications of the components, we formulated a design calculation method using appropriate formulas. The results obtained from the calculations were compared and analyzed. A final conclusion and recommendation was drawn to determine the best specifications of each components in the design.

This PO relates to how an individual able to provide a valid conclusion of a complex challenge by conducting research and investigation through experimental design, analysis of data and synthesis of information. 

​

The first module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is the Data Measurement Analysis and Experimental Design. For this module assignment, my group had first identified the main challenge to this study which is the high rate of obesity in Malaysia. Then, an experiment was conducted and the initial hypothesis was set where the average Malaysian would meet the average daily steps taken by their respective age groups. Two applications known as 'Sehat Weight Loss Coach' and the 'Google Fit' were used to obtain the number of foot steps of an average Malaysian had per day. The data collected was tabulated and further analyzed using a statistical analysis method known as ANOVA 1-Way. A residual and normal assumption graphs were plotted and lastly a conclusion was drawn based on the hypothesis set in the beginning of the experiment.

​

The second module that can be mapped into this program outcome is Mechanical Engineering Group Project 1 (MEGP 1). For this MEGP 1 project, my group had worked on designing the solar panel cleaning robot for Fortune 11 Solar Farm which is owned by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) in Sepang. We had conducted a detailed research using only reliable sources to gather all the related information of the project. This includes researching on the background of TNB, background of Fortune 11 Solar Farm, the existing cleaning designs in the current market. All these information were then synthesized into obtaining a most optimum design of the cleaning method and we had proposed our top 3 cleaning method designs. A prototype of our own designs were sketched with SolidWorks and built using 3D printer to ensure it is valuable and usable to the end user before working on the actual product.

This PO relates to how an individual able to recognize the importance of lifelong learning and captivate in continuous professional development activities according to the pace of technology change.

​

The first module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is Industrial Training. Throughout my 12 weeks of training, I was assigned in the sales and inspection department in this steel fabrication and hardware company. I had gained a lot of opportunity to apply my technical and analytical skills while executing on the tasks. Besides, I also gained an insight of how a steel trading company operates and variety of knowledge that was beyond my scope of study through my first-hand experience. From this Industrial Training, I am able to expose myself to the real corporate world and it had really helped in broadening my knowledge, improved my soft skills and lastly helps me to explore my career path. Therefore, I find that learning is always ongoing even after graduated as there will always be an opportunity gap for us to improve on quality of life.

​

The second module that can be mapped into this program outcome is the Managing Project for Success. For this project report, my group had conducted an overall project assessment on our Design and Innovation module to indicate the level of success of the project. In order to perform the assessment, the project was reviewed based on the scope, budget, schedule and quality. The project was also assessed after completion to determine the areas of improvement that can be made in the future. In this module, I learnt that a thorough research and planning at the beginning of the project are the most important aspect in project management. This module had greatly sharpened my management skills and I will find it useful when I'm working on a certain kind in the future. Hence, I realized that learning process will never comes to an end as there will always be a room of improvement to be made.
