Program outcome of 9 & 10

This PO relates to how an individual able to function effectively as a leader in multidisciplinary settings

 

The module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is Engineering Design and Communication. For this module, my group had designed an automated robotic car that is capable to line track and extinguish the fire. This project was designed in a way that it requires student from different academic disciplines to work together into accomplishing the objectives. Therefore, as a leader, I had assigned tasks to my groupmates according to their engineering disciplines. This will helps to improve the efficiency of our progress as well as the quality of work since every members able to execute on tasks/challenges within their expertise. For instance, the chemical engineering student has been assigned to work on the fire extinguishing as this task requires the handling of chemicals while the electrical engineering student was assigned to tasks that requires programming or involve with any electronics. Throughout this module, I was also in charge on setting up meetings, tracking the progress of every team members as well as updating the team's progress to the module supervisor.

This PO relates to how an individual able to effectively communicate complex engineering activities in terms of orally and written form, in both technical and non technical contexts.

​

The first module that can be mapped into achieving this program outcome is Engineering Design and Ergonomics. This module requires my group to improve on our university facilities by introducing an ergonomic design prototype that embodies ergonomic principles. My group had put the main focus on the laboratory and we tackled this issue by producing a vertical rotating shelf to allow laboratory users to easily reach for goods in any shelf compartment while standing still. To gain a secondary opinion and better understanding of the difficulties faced by laboratory users, we had conducted an online survey through google forms to all the students/lecturers from technical and non technical backgrounds. Through this, we were able to obtain opinions and perspectives from individuals of different backgrounds. We had also orally presented our finalized prototype to the judges and attendees during the Engineering Fair.

 

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. Besides the building of an actual scale prototype, we had prepared a presentation poster so that we can deliver our project to the judges and attendees in a more efficient manner during the Engineering Fair. My group had orally presented every details of our project which leads to the formation of our design idea. On the engineering fair day itself, there were attendees from various backgrounds (technical and non-technical) and hence my group had taken into consideration of presenting our project in a less complicated manner. Besides, we had also prepared a powerpoint slides and instruction manual to allow the judges and attendees to understand better.
