MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN, COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 

Welcome to the College of Engineering (COE) and Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN). 

COE strives to provide a first class educational experience to its undergraduate students 

preparing them for positions in the industry in line with its status as a Tier 5 (Excellent) 

engineering education provider (D-SETARA 2011). The college aspires to become the leading 

engineering education provider and research leader in the area of energy and sustainability. 

COE is the largest college in this university with more than 3400 students and 14% are 

international students from 28 different countries. 

This handbook has been produced to assist you in planning your studies in UNITEN. It lists 

the programmes offered by each department in COE, the courses that you are required to 

take, the sample of course distribution, the faculty members and the course descriptions. The 

support services and extract of academic regulations are also included. 

There are three groups of people whom will help you get the most out your study in COE. The teaching staff will 

provide lecture and tutorial support and academic guidance. The technical support staff will help you with your work in 

the laboratories. The administrative staff will help you with everything to do with your programme administration. 

Each student will be assigned an academic advisor for the duration of their studies. The academic advisor is one of our 

lecturers who will advise and guide you on your programme. He/she will help you in choosing the courses to register 

for any particular semester and also assist you if you experience any academic problems. Please meet your academic 

adviser early in your programme and see them often. I am sure you will find them friendly and helpful. 

Our programmes are structured into semesters and are broad-based with a strong emphasis on basic fundamentals. 

Towards the end, you have some choice in the areas you would wish to specialize. These specialized technical electives 

are courses that are of great demand and need by the industry and the nation at large. These are coupled with strong 

emphasis on development of soft skills such as communication, leadership and management, and nurturing humanities 

values, to mould you into a well-rounded and competent professional engineer in harmony with holistic societal values. 

We would like to produce engineers who are career resilience, i.e. always equip themselves with the latest tools, 

technology and skills to be able to adapt and are ever ready to apply them to any work environment. 

The college staff works hard to produce a high quality and innovative educational experience for our students. Our 

programmes are accredited by Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and the bachelor programmes are recognized by 

the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC). In order to ensure that all the bachelor programmes offered in COE are 

relevant to the industry, Outcome Based Education (OBE) is implemented in all the engineering bachelor programmes. 

OBE requires that inputs from all stake-holders are sought in designing and reviewing the programme curriculum and 

clear statement of Programme Educational Objectives (PEO) and Programme Outcomes are required. In order to 

ensure that the quality of the programmes are continuously improved, a clear Continual Quality Improvement (CQI) 

system which requires measurement of achievement of the outcomes while the students are in UNITEN and after they 

leave UNITEN, analyze the results and use them to continuously improve the quality of the programme. 

All students are encouraged to be involved in out of class activities which will enrich their learning experience. Various 

activities are arranged from time to time by either the student societies or the college such as industrial talks, industrial 

visits, internal and external engineering related competitions etc. Your involvement in the activities will be given 

SCORUN points which will be accumulated until your graduation. 

On behalf of the college, I wish you a successful and enjoyable experience as a student in COE. Thank you. 

Yours sincerely, 

Professor Dr. Mohd. Zamri Yusoff 

Dean, College of Engineering

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION PLAN 

The College of Engineering has taken initiative steps in order to implement Outcome Based Education (OBE) into its educational 

system and thus meet the requirement of the Malaysian Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC). In order for the OBE 

implementation to be successful, each department shall produce its own Programme Objectives (PEO) which will cascade down 

to Programme Outcomes (PO) and then to Course Outcomes (CO). Each department shall manage the implementation through 

various delivery methods in each course, conduct assessment and evaluation process and review the results for continuous quality 

improvement (CQI) process. Inputs from relevant stakeholder shall be taken during the CQI process. The OBE framework and 

general flow of OBE implementation are as shown in following diagrams.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING 

The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering offers courses leading to the award of 

Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Hons.) (BEEE) 

(KPT/JPS(KR10504)06/14) 

Bachelor of Computer and Communication Engineering (Hons.) (BCCE) 

(Approved by MQA & MOHE (N/523/6/0070)) 

These programs are designed to prepare students for professional careers and higher advancement in the area 

of communication, electronics, computers, control systems, signal processing, power engineering and other 

related areas. 

The curriculums for these undergraduate programs require a strong foundation in mathematics, calculus, 

physics, computer literacy and programming. Engineering courses begin from the first year itself and include 

topics, among others, electrical circuits, electronics, digital logic design, microprocessors, signals & system, 

control systems, and data communication and network. In addition to these topics, students taking BEEE 

programme will also be exposed to specialized topics such as electrical machines & drives, power systems, 

process control and instrumentation, communication systems; while students enrolling in BCCE will be 

exposed to topics related to computer architectures, operating systems, embedded systems, communication 

electronics, and digital communications. 

Laboratory works which include electrical measurement techniques, application of non-linear devices, digital 

logic design, electrical machines, microprocessor, signal processing, computer networks and communication 

are intended to reinforce the principles obtained in the classroom. In addition, many engineering courses are 

classified as design courses and complemented by computer aided engineering software as simulation and 

design tools, thus further consolidating the understanding of engineering principles and its application. 

Students are also required to take language and social science courses to make them become more wellbalanced 

in terms of technical and social knowledge and skills. 

In the end of the third year, students will go through industrial training where they will be attached with 

industries all over Malaysia. This provides insights to students on the real working environment outside. 

During the final year, the students are free to choose several topics from technical electives, to specialize 

deeper in an area of their interest. They can choose to streamline to a particular options grouping. Design 

project courses (the Capstone Design and the Final Year Project) during the final year will aid students in 

gaining experience of current technology and equipment usage as well as provide opportunities to apply 

engineering principles that they have acquired earlier on, and even further advance into investigative research.

the electricity supply industry through the parent company, Tenaga Nasional Berhad. The department consists 

of young energetic academicians as well as experienced practicing engineers in various fields of Electrical Power 

Engineering. The department offers program leading to the award of Bachelor of Electrical Power Engineering 

(Hons.). 

The curricula for the undergraduate programs require a strong foundation in mathematics, physics and 

computer. Courses in electrical and electronics engineering begin in the first year after foundation program. 

The courses include topics such as electrical circuit analysis, electronics, digital system, microprocessor, 

electromagnetic fields, electrical machines and drives, power systems, power electronics and high voltage 

technology. Laboratory sessions reinforce the principles learnt in the classroom which include electrical 

measurement techniques, application of non-linear devices, digital logic design, signal processing, 

microprocessor, electrical machines and power electronics. Many engineering courses are classified as design 

courses and complemented by computer aided engineering software as simulation and design tools. 

During the final year, the students choose technical electives according to their area of interest. The final year 

project courses provide opportunities for the students to apply the engineering principles, experience of current 

technology as well as learning the methodology of research. Throughout the course of their study, students will 

also take up languages and courses from other departments, and get involved in a variety of clubs and societies 

in a holistic approach to become well-rounded graduates. 

The program is designed to prepare students to become professional engineers and industry leaders. The 

graduates can carve a career in a diverse range of areas in industries such as electricity supply, petroleum, 

automotive, chemicals, processing, aerospace and many others. Electrical power engineers are engaged in a 

variety of activities including design, manufacturing, research, development, testing, construction, operation,

DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 

The Department of Mechanical Engineering provides an excellent learning environment with state-of-the-art 

facilities and highly qualified academic staff with extensive level of expertise over a broad range of subject 

areas. Its research and teaching activities include applied mechanics and materials, thermal engineering, and 

manufacturing systems. The Department of Mechanical Engineering strives to provide quality education to 

prepare students for position in industry, commerce and academic. The comprehensive and innovative 

content and teaching techniques adopted are designed towards expanding the frontiers of learning and 

inculcating a probing mind. Students will be challenged to develop into multi-skilled professionals possessing 

mental, intellectual and emotional fortitude to succeed in life. 

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers the following programmes, Bachelor of Mechanical 

Engineering (Hons.), Master of Mechanical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering. Over the past 15 years, 

the Department has grown tremendously, from only 95 students in 1997 to the current number of more than 

1400 students and from only 4 academic staff in 1997 to more than 70 at present. 

The curricula, further enhanced with project work, research, open-ended experiments and practical training, 

are designed with inputs from the industrial and commercial sectors as well as from local and foreign 

universities. The emphasis is towards producing professionals to fulfil the needs of industry and commerce in 

particular and the nation in general. More specifically, graduates from this course will have the knowledge and 

competencies required to become competent Mechanical Engineer, Design Engineer, Failure Analysis 

Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, Sales Engineer, Academia and Mechanical 

Engineering Consultants. 

The Mechanical Engineering programme provides a strong base in the Mechanical Engineering with a wellestablished 

balance between theory and experiments during the four years of study. The curriculum consists 

of a good mix of general courses as well as core Mechanical Engineering courses. A total of 127 credit hours 

of courses being taught in 8 semesters and on average there are 5-6 courses per semester being taught. The 

programme also contains a compulsory Industrial Training attachment after semester 6 for a period of not 

less than 12 weeks. The idea of this attachment is to enable students to gain firsthand experience in industry 

as well as an insight to how theories are put into practice in the real engineering situations. This short 

attachment in industry was beneficial as it provides the intellectual challenge to students especially in the final 

year and when carrying out their final year project. 

The programmes are complemented by laboratory work. The department has ten laboratories, which are: 

Machine Shop 

Mechanics of Materials 

Machine Design 

Advanced Manufacturing 

Automation and Robotics 

Computer Aided Design and Computer 

Aided Engineering 

Computational Fluid Dynamics 

Instrumentation and Measurement 

Fluid Mechanics 

Applied Thermodynamics and Heat 

Transfer 

Internal Combustion Engine

In this era of globalization and the need for sustainable development, the fraternity has recognised the need 

to measure the quality of the programme and attributes of the graduates. To address this issue, Malaysia has 

embarked on a journey towards adopting the principles of Outcome-Based Education (OBE). In line with 

this effort, the Mechanical Engineering Department strives to continually pursue its commitment of 

providing high quality engineering education. The Department implements OBE as part of the delivery of the 

Mechanical Engineering programme since December 2006.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING 

The Department of Civil Engineering offers a full-time undergraduate programme leading to the award of 

Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours) which is designed to prepare students to become Civil Engineers 

who are able to plan, design, construct and maintain civil engineering facilities such as buildings, bridges, 

foundation, highways, water supply systems, sewerage schemes and other form of infrastructure. The 

program is also designed to provide students with the educational base to progress to Professional Engineer 

status as well as to undertake Master of Civil Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy from UNITEN and 

other reputable institutions of higher learning. 

The Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours) is a 4-year programme where undergraduate students will study 

courses in civil engineering in the following areas: 

 

 

 

Structural Engineering. 

Geotechnical Engineering. 

Transportation & Highway Engineering. 

 

 

 

Water Engineering. 

Environmental Engineering. 

Project Management and Construction. 

In addition to the above, undergraduate students will also study other technical courses such as Engineering 

Surveying, Engineering Geology, Computer Programming, Engineers in Society and Computer Aided Design 

and Drafting Technology. The use of computer applications and software is integrated throughout the 

program. Students will also study English and Malay languages, technical communication, moral/religious 

studies and humanities in order to produce engineers who are technically competent with strong commitment 

to ethics and professionalism and able to communicate effectively which are all essential for students to build 

successful career. 

Undergraduate students will undertake a capstone design project in their final year. It is a team design project 

applying engineering and project management principles for a multidisciplinary design which would involve 

an integration of all aspects of Civil Engineering namely Environmental, Geotechnical, Water Supply, 

Sewerage, Structural, Transportation and Project Management, with the design process from conceptual and 

preliminary design to final design for construction purposes. It requires that each student demonstrate the 

ability to complete a significant engineering design using the knowledge gained as an undergraduate in the 

Civil Engineering program. 

Undergraduate students will undergo industrial training at the end of the third year where students will be 

exposed to the various aspects of industrial practices and ethics and to acquire knowledge and skills of 

practical nature which are needed for their professional development. Students are also required to undertake 

research activities in their final year. The Final Year Project courses provide opportunities for students to 

acquire knowledge through research activities and to apply this knowledge to real life problems. 

The Department of Civil Engineering has a total of ten (10) undergraduate laboratories which are: 

Civil Engineering Materials 

Structural Engineering 

Soil Mechanics 

Geotechnical Engineering 

Engineering Geology 

Highway Engineering 

Transportation Engineering 

Hydrology and Hydraulic Engineering

SUPPORT SERVICES 

Academic Advisors 

Upon entry into the program, you are assigned to an academic advisor. Your advisor is responsible for 

helping you to do well academically and succeed in graduating. Your advisor can help with many things, 

including: being sure your course schedule for each term is appropriate; getting help for any special problems 

you may have; explaining academic procedures; and helping you increase your understanding of the 

engineering curricula. 

You are to make an appointment each semester to see your advisor to prepare your class schedule. Please do 

not make an appointment during your class times. Please be on time for your appointment. If you cannot 

attend the appointment, notify your advisor at least one day before your scheduled appointment. 

UNITEN Student Development Implementation Committee 

The UNITEN Student Development Implementation Committee (USDIC) concerns on the development of 

students especially in academic matters. Other than organizing motivation programmes for students, it also 

offers additional academic support for students who have CGPA of 2.3 and less. The consultation sessions 

are conducted by lecturers who have undergone basic counselling training. 

Faculty Consultation 

Lecturers expect the students to talk to them about any problems or questions related to their academic work 

or field of study. The lecturers’ support and encouragement to the students are integral parts of engineering 

education. 

Students will have the opportunity to ask the lecturer questions and to get help with problems, in class, in 

a recitation section, or in the lecturer’s office. The lecturer will expect students to participate in class 

discussion and activities. 

Students may seek help in completing assignments, but the work submitted must be their own. 

Students should not ask for a grade from any lecturer. They receive the grade that they have worked for 

and earned in each course. 

The quality of a student’s work may be measured in various ways, and frequently, so that they will have 

several opportunities to demonstrate their abilities. The lecturer will expect them to attend class regularly 

and to hand in all assigned work on time. 

Students will be treated courteously in class, and they must return the courtesy. 

Students will be expected to read a considerable amount of material, not in a leisurely fashion, but under 

pressure of deadlines. 

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 

Assessment Scheme 

The evaluation of each subject is done on a scale and the on-going assessments agreed upon by the college as 

approved by the university. The performance of a student is based on the following; 

i) On-going assessment based on scheduled tests, assignments/projects and quizzes. Not more than 

70% of the total number of marks will be allocated for the on-going assessments and each 

component will not be allocated more than 30% of those marks. 

ii) Final examination will be comprehensive and will be held at the end of the semester for each subject. 

Not less than 30% of the total number of marks will be allocated for the final exam. 

The evaluation for practical training will be according to that stipulated by the college upon the approval of 

the university. 

103

Attendance 

A student must attend not less than 80% of the contact hours of the subject concerned. Action will be taken 

against students whose attendance is less than 80% of the contact hours without a valid reason. The student 

may be barred from attending further classes and from taking any form of assessment. 

Grading System 

His/her Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) indicate a student’s 

performance. The following table is a general summary of the assessment: 

Grade 

A+ 

A 

Grade Points 

4.00 

4.00 

A- 3.67 

B+ 3.33 

B 3.00 

B- 2.67 

C+ 2.33 

C 2.00 

C- 1.67 

D+ 1.33 

D 1.00 

E 0.00 

Grade Point Average (GPA) 

Your grade point average (GPA) is based on your work each semester; you will have a separate GPA for each 

semester you are in the program. It is determined as follows: (1) Multiply the number of credit hours 

assigned to a course by the number of grade points to determine the number of credit points, or quality points, 

corresponding to the grade you received. (2) Add all the credit points. (3) Divide that sum by the total 

number of credit hours for which you received a grade. 

GPA semester = 

(grade points x credit hours) for that semester 

_____________________________________ 

credit hours for that semester 

For example: 

Course Credit hours Grade Points Credit Points 

History 3 x (B) 3.00 = 9 

Math 4 x (B+)3.33 = 13.32 

Sociology 3 x (A-) 3.67 = 11.01 

Physics 5 x (B-) 2.67 = 13.35 

Total 15 46.68 

Grade point average: Total credit points = 46.68 

Total credit hours 15 

Equals GPA = 3.112 

104

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) 

Your cumulative grade point average (CGPA) includes all the course work you have completed in the 

program. Your CGPA is calculated in the same way that your GPA is computed. The difference is that while 

only one semester’s worth of courses are considered in your GPA, courses from all your semesters in the 

program count in your CGPA. 

Repeating A Core Subject 

(grade points x credit hours) for whole program 

CGPA = ________________________________________ 

credit hours for whole program 

Students who fail a compulsory subject are required to retake the subject until they obtain a passing grade. 

For the purpose of CGPA calculation, all subjects/courses registered including failed subjects/courses will be 

taken into account in the calculation. A recalculation of CGPA will be done when a student “repeat and 

replace” a subject/course. Students are allowed to “repeat and replace” their subject/course grades obtained 

for all their courses throughout their study period but within the maximum study period as stipulated in the 

Academic Regulation, and the best grade will be included in the CGPA calculation. 

Besides the letter grades A,B,C,D,E the following status is also applied : 

BS = Incomplete 

PK = Credit Transfer 

LU or = Pass or 

GA Fail 

TD = Withdraw 

AU = Audit - 

A student is given an incomplete if he/she did not sit for the 

examination or did not complete the assignments (e.g. Projects) by the 

stipulated date due to ill health as certified by a medical officer or for 

other reasons upon the approval of the College Dean/Unit Head. The 

student is then required to sit for a special exam, to replace the missed 

exam or is required to complete the assignment by a date stipulated by 

the College Dean/Unit Head. The extended deadlines must be of 

reasonable length. 

A student is granted a credit transfer for a particular subject in 

accordance with the regulations. The student is considered not to 

have fulfilled the credit hours for the UNIVERSITY subjects. 

A student is given P/F for a subject where it is difficult to determine 

and award a letter grade or for the time spent at the industrial training. 

In such a subject, the grade Pass will be awarded if the student has met 

the requirements satisfactorily. The grade Fail will be awarded if the 

student has not met the requirements. The grade P/F is not calculated 

in the GPA and CGPA, but students who secure a Fail will have to 

repeat the subject until he/she secures a Pass. 

A student withdraws from the program after the deadline (as specified 

in the Academic Regulations section 3.9.2 but before the date specified 

in 3.9.3). The subject withdrawn is not calculated in the CGPA but it 

is recorded in the transcript. 

A student registers with the intention of attending classes but is not 

assessed. 

105


A student’s performance is evaluated using the CGPA. A student’s academic achievement is determined at 

the end of each semester by using the CGPA as shown in the following table. 


Achievement Level 

CGPA 

Good Standing (KB) CGPA 2.00 

Probation (KP) CGPA < 2.00 

A student is placed on academic probation when the student’s CGPA is less than 2.00 for one semester. A 

student whose CGPA is less than 2.00 for two semesters consecutively will be dismissed. The academic 

standing of a student of a special semester is not determined although the CGPA is calculated as usual. The 

CGPA of a student with a diploma from this university who has been accepted to further his/her studies at 

the degree level will be calculated beginning from the first semester of studies. 

Dean’s List 

A student who obtains a GPA 3.50 and has grades of not more than C in any subject taken during that 

semester and carries a work load of 12 credit hours will be included in the Dean’s list in the following 

semester. The Dean’s list will be displayed on the notice board of the college. The student’s transcript will 

show this notation. 

Conditions for Graduation 

Students will only be eligible for graduation after having met the following requirements; 

i) The student has completed the minimum requirement of credit required by the program and the area 

of specialization throughout the duration of the studies. 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

The student has a CGPA of not less than 2.00 overall in all the subjects throughout the duration of 

the studies and has obtained the required CGPA in the core subjects and area of specialization as 

stipulated by the university. 

The student has settled all outstanding payments to the university. 

The student has applied to graduate and has received the approval from the college. 

v) The student has no outstanding cases of indiscipline. 

Deferment of Studies 

A student who has been certified sick by a medical officer may write-in to request that the studies be deferred. 

This deferment is valid for two semesters only. The deferment will not be included in determining the 

number of semesters to date. A student may also request for a deferment of studies not only on the basis of 

ill health. The request must be submitted before the start of the following semester. However, this 

deferment will be included in determining the number of semesters to date. A student who has been advised 

to defer his/her studies by the university will have that semester counted.
