CE Project 1

A capstone project is a culminating assignment, on which students usually work on during their final year in school or at the end of the academic program. This requires a rigorous, well-defined (or redefined), objective, systematic, and method-driven approach on a certain topic in order to make a novel contribution to societal problems. Also, it applies scientific approaches in order to develop new theoretical or applied knowledge that is critical by contributing to the improvement of society.

This course subject mainly deals with the development of capstone project proposal containing a clear set of objectives, methodology, project implementation plan/schedule and resource requirements.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, the students be able to:

1. Apply design concepts, design codes and engineering tools learned in previous courses and work on a real-world capstone design project in a team setting;

2. Solve an engineering problem with technical or non-technical project constraints through the actual engineering design process;

3. Collaborate with other students and function in a multidisciplinary group;

4. Develop and enhance interpersonal skills;

5. Develop and enhance ethical and professional responsibility.

6. Apply project management skills to finish the project according to schedule;

7. Practice effective communication skills through the preparation of a project proposal, engineering reports and oral project presentations.

The following are the brief discussion and student outputs pertinent to the Course Learning Outcomes listed above. This is to ensure that the student has gained sufficient knowledge and experience in crafting and presenting an engineering capstone project proposal.
