(g) Projects
It is a learning technique based on conducting specific activities in order to find out
the solution of a problem under consideration. This learning process may involve
theoretical, experimental, simulation, industrial exposure, industrial application
software and any other teaching and learning techniques pracitised. Conducting a
project is one of the ways to solve an outstanding problem. It is therefore one of the
more effective teaching and learning techniques adopted by UTeM. Final Year
Project (Projek Sarjana Muda) course is the best example of this method. Final Year
Project (Projek Sarjana Muda) and Diploma Project (Projek Diploma) courses are the
best example of this method. Final Year Project allows students to apply the basic
engineering problem solving skills, which they have learned before.

(h) Tutorials
Tutorials are carried out regularly to provide continuous exercise/practice to
enhance students’ understanding after lecture on each chapter had been completed.
Each tutorial session takes one hour per week for 14 weeks.

5.4 ASSESSMENT

The assessment on learning outcomes in semester system is performed continuously based on
the students’ works during the lecture weeks in a semester. Students are expected to be
ready for any kind of assessment being held during the semester. The methods for
assessment are through coursework and final semester examination. The final examination
is comprehensive in the sense that it covers the entire syllabus learned in the semester. The
coursework assessment is a continuous process carried out to evaluate student’s performance
throughout the semester. Coursework encompasses among others Problem Based Learning
(PBL), quiz, test, assignment, practical work, project, case studies, and industrial visit etc.

5.4.1 COURSEWORK

Coursework is assessed by not more than 40% for degree programme and 60% for
