This PO relates to how an individual able to recognize by practical reasoning through applying the knowledge to assess societal, health, legal, economical and cultural issues and responsibilities related to professional engineering practice. 

​

The first module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is Design of Engineering Components and Systems (DECS). 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. In the process of obtaining the most suitable specifications of the components, we had put our main consideration into the safety aspect of the design. Hence, an optimum assumption of safety factor was utilized in all the calculations to find out the minimum force that will act on each components. Besides that, we had also ensured that the design we came out with is cost efficient without having to sacrifice on the safety aspect of the design.

​

The second module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is Mechanical Engineering Group Project 2 (MEGP 2). In this module, my group had built a solar panel cleaning robot for Fortune 11 Solar Farm which is owned by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) in Sepang. Throughout this project, not only we were focusing on achieving the project's objectives, we had also ensured that the project we worked on brings a positive impact in every aspects. Firstly, we had indirectly promotes and encourage the importance of renewable energy (solar energy) to the society. Secondly, the health and welfare of the workers was made into priority when we first started to design on the prototype itself. This is to ensure the product we designed/created do not harm any users and is safe to use. In terms of legal, we had followed the all the standard laws and operations set by the Boards of Engineers Malaysia. Besides that, the proposed solution we initially came out with had brought a positive impact to the overall cost of our project partner. Lastly, the group has also ensured that the outcome of our project do no violate any culture rights.

This PO relates to how an individual able to explain the engineering solutions to the global impact in terms of societal, economical and environmental contexts while demonstrating the knowledge to the need of sustainable development.

​

The module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is the Final Year Project 1 (FYP 1). Through this ongoing research project, I had proposed an analysis method to assess how stone trapping could affect the performance of different tire tread patterns in terms of the traction and longevity. I had selected the relevant parameters and software to perform the simulation in this analysis method. The stone trapping is a hindrance to the road user as it reduce the lifespan of the tire and affects the performance which is detrimental to human safety. Therefore, this research was conducted in a way to search for a more sustainable solution. Economically, the development of tire that has the tendency to reduce/avoid stone trapping can provide opportunities for manufacturers to produce more of this type commercially. Environmentally, if the tread patterns has the tendency to reduce/avoid stone trapping, lesser maintenance and replacement of tire is required and this leads to less used tires in the landfills.

This PO relates to how an individual able to apply professional and ethical responsibilities of engineering practice.

​

The first module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is Professional Engineers and Society. Although this module is still ongoing, I had gained a vast knowledge regarding the ethics and code of conduct a registered Professional Engineer should adhere to. Besides, i had also learnt about the engineering regulatory body in Malaysia that is in charge of regulating the conduct of ethics of the engineering profession. On top of that, I had acquired the knowledge in applying the code of conduct (BEM COC 001) through a few case studies of engineering ethics. 

​

The second module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is Safety in Process Plant Design which is still ongoing as well. Throughout this module, I had acquired various knowledge that are relating to hazards, human errors, HAZOP, safety standards, risk assessment methodology and safety management in for industrial safety. In one of the group assignment, we were given a task to choose and analyse a case study that involves the most disastrous industrial accident. In this case, we had to figure out what leads to the incident by applying the knowledge of analyzing the safety, health and hazards of the workplace. Besides, we also had to find out whether the engineers and workers are complying to the ethics and regulations set by the professional bodies before the incident happened.

This PO relates to how an individual able to effectively manage projects in multidisciplinary environments by implementing project management skills to one's work, as a member or leader in order to satisfy stakeholders requirements. 

​

The module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is Managing Project for Success. For this module, I had conducted an overall project assessment on my Design and Innovation module by applying the project management techniques that I had learnt. The project was evaluated by using the four criteria which are the schedule, quality, cost and client satisfaction. One of the project management techniques that I had applied during the assessment was the project crashing. Project crashing helps to save enough time on the schedule which also ensure the project I am working on able to complete on time. Besides, the aspect of cost and quality in this project were also well managed and were considered as two of the main priorities in the project. Therefore, a high level of stakeholder satisfaction was achieved as the project I worked on has meet their expectations.
