Areas Of Study

Mechanical engineering program makes up the core of the engineering studies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Students pursuing specialization in a particular field shall take additional elective courses. The fundamental areas of study in mechanical engineering are described as follows:

(a) Applied Mechanics

Applied Mechanics is the application of mechanics principles to real world problems. It is a field of engineering that combines the fundamental physical sciences with powerful mathematical, computational and experimental techniques. The term mechanics refers to the formulation of rules predicting the behavior of physical system under the influence of any type of interaction with its environments, particularly due to the action of forces that cause the behavior or response of the physical system at rest (statics) or in motion (dynamics). Applied Mechanics covers the following disciplines: Mechanics of Materials and Structures Mechanics of Machines Dynamic Systems and Control.

The above sub-fields provide the essential knowledge that is required by the Mechanical-based engineers to include Aeronautical, Automotive, Marine, Materials, Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering counterparts.

Examples of the elective courses in Applied Mechanics are: Mechanics of Composite Materials, Failure of Engineering Components and Structures, Mechanical Vibration, Machine Condition Monitoring, Noise, and Robotics.

15

(b) Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics is taught at two levels; basic and applied. In the basic level, focus is given to the understanding of the concept system, heat, work as well as material properties in relation to heat and work, and their influence on a particular thermodynamic system. The second level involves application of theories based on thermodynamic laws in studying and analyzing primary devices. Focus is on the methods of generating heat and power, minimization of fuel usage, efficiency and other parameters.

Thermodynamics is an important field, very much needed in several industrial sectors such as power generation, petro chemistry, automotive and building maintenance. It is a course which is directly involved in power generation/ energy savings, different engine designs and the supporting systems with high capability and cost effectiveness.

Examples of the elective courses in Thermodynamics are: Combustion Processes, Air-Conditioning, Internal Combustion Engine, Heat Transfer, and Power Plant Technology.

(c) Fluid Mechanics

It is a field of study that deals with fluid properties, surface hydrostatic force (examples: dam gate, reservoir, pressure and flow measurement, piping system design, potential flow and boundary layer) to determine flow type and resulting force, pumps and turbines. The principles applied include Newton’s law, thermodynamic laws and basic knowledge in Mathematics. The scope of study is based on its application in the engineering field. Examples of the elective courses in Fluid Mechanics are: Turbo-Machinery, Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

16

(d) Design

Introduction to Design Students are exposed to the concepts and methods to develop an efficient design process and applying it to solve engineering design problems creatively and effectively.

Component Design Students are exposed to analysis in machine design element failure theories. This includes failures due to static and fatigue loads. It involves fatigue strength and endurance level, modified stress, Goodman diagram and fatigue design under tensile and combined stresses. The content will encompass the design and selection of bolts, welding, spring, ball and roller bearings, gears and belts. At the end of the course, students should have the capabilities to identify, make analysis and design the machine elements in the perspective of static and fatigue failure aspect.

System Design Students are exposed to design methodologies and principles specific to the practice of mechanical design. Emphasis is on developing efficient and effective design techniques as well as project-oriented skills from both technical and nontechnical considerations. Students are able to identify and apply appropriate methodology in performing design tasks, recognize the fundamental principles of mechanical design and practices and formulate and apply general problem solving strategy in the analysis of situation, problem and potential problem. Students are able to identify and apply industry standards in design communication.

17

(e) Materials Science and Materials Technology

This course is important to the engineer because it provides the basic knowledge in engineering materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics and composites so that proper materials can be elected for a particular design or product. This course relates the structure to the properties of materials so that the behavior of materials can be better understood.

18

Career Prospects

Graduates of the program are expected to work in Mechanical Engineering field, one of the oldest and broadest areas of engineering activity. The career of a Mechanical Engineer involves the efficient application of physical and human resources in improving the standard of living. A Mechanical Engineer combines the basic knowledge of physical sciences and engineering education with experience and expertise to invent, design and manufacture, run and maintain mechanical equipment, machineries and tools in all branches of industry including automotive, aerospace, marine/ ship building, manufacturing, processing and those involving heavy machineries. Graduates in this area are capable of fulfilling the task of an engineer cum technologist in the government, semi-government and private firms. Graduate will be able to find job opportunities in various sectors and industries as previously mentioned.

A Mechanical Engineer may further his career as a product designer (consulting firm), building contractor, manufacturer of machines or engineering products, researcher in Research and Development (R&D) departments/ institutes or an academician in institutions of higher learning.

With the knowledge of the Course Lecturer and with the agreement of the Academic Advisor, a student can apply to withdraw from any course which has been registered for the semester not later than the specified date set by the university.

Course Codes & Abbreviations

The course code offered by the faculty is made up of three letters and four numbers. For example:

Course credit = 3

Course sequence = 1st

Field of course = Applied Mechanics

Year of program = 1st

Area of specialization = Mechanical

Faculty offering the programme = Mechanical

Type of award = Bachelor

27

Credit System

Every course is accorded a credit value except those specified by the university.

Credit Value

The credit value is based on the number of meeting hours per semester.

Lectures and Practical Period1 credit = 14 lecture hours per semester1 credit = 28 – 42 meeting hours per semester for practical/ studio

Example: Determination of credits for lectures and equivalent for practical period• 42 lecture hours per semester, or• 28 lecture hours per semester + 28 - 42 hours of practical/studio

work per semester, or• 14 lecture hours per semester + 56 - 84 hours of practical/studio

work per semester, or• 84 - 126 hours of practical/studio work per semester

Credits Obtained

Credits Obtained is the total number of credits for courses for which a student has passed. Credits Obtained is computed for each semester and all semesters. For students with credit exemption, the credits will be added to the passed course credits in order to determine the overall Credits Obtained. The Credit Obtained is very closely related to the Credits for Course Graduation.

Credits Counted

Credit Counted is the total number of credits taken by a student in a semester and in all semesters. The number of credits is used in the computation of GPA and CPA for the student concerned.

28

Credits For Programme Year

The stage of study or the year of the program for a student is determined by the total number of Credits Obtained. A student is deemed to have progressed a particular year program if the Credits Obtained is not less than value in the following table;

Semester IIIThis semester is dedicated for the University Courses and laboratory courses. All laboratory courses are carried out at UTM Johor Bahru campus before the start of the Semester III. Credits for the registration of Laboratory Courses are included in the 6 credits maximum allowable for each Short Semester.

33

Lecture Attendance

Students who do not attend lectures or whose attendance is less than 70% without acceptable reasons will not be allowed to sit for the final examination, and a zero mark (grade E) will be given to the course.

Grading System

A student’s performance in a course is indicated by the grade obtained. The relationship between marks, grades and grade points are as shown below. Generally the passing grade for any course is D+ except for core courses which are C. However, the passing grade for a particular course is subject to the Faculty’s requirement with the approval of the University Senate.

Mark Grade Grade Point90 – 100 A+ 4.0080 – 89 A 4.0075 – 79 A- 3.6770 – 74 B+ 3.3365 – 69 B 3.0060 – 64 B- 2.6755 – 59 C+ 2.3350 – 54 C 2.0045 – 49 C- 1.6740 – 44 D+ 1.3335 – 39 D 1.0030 – 34 D- 0.6700 - 29 E 0.00

Apart of the above grades, the following course grades are also used:

34

TD (Withdraw)

This grade is given to courses withdrawn during a specified duration as stipulated by the Senate. Credits will not be taken into account when computing Credit Counted, Credits Obtained, GPA and CPA.

UM (Repeat Course)

For a course with a UM status grade HL will be awarded if the course is of a HW status. For core courses students are required to pass with at least a C grade. However, the credits for a failed UM course will not be counted in the CPA computation since they have been taken into consideration during the previous semester. This is to avoid duplication. A student who fails an elective course as a substitute but the credits and grade of the original course will be taken into account in Credits Counted and the CPA.

UG(Repeat Grade)

A student may improve any course with a B- grade or lower using the UG status. For a particular course this permission is given once only. The better grade between the previous and current grade will be awarded and used in the computation of GPA and CPA.

HL(Passed

Attendance)

Pass Grade given for the course that is registered as HW status.

HG(Failed

Attendance)

Fail Grade given for the course that is registered as HW status.

TS (Incomplete)

Grade given to students who are unable to sit for the final examination or to complete the coursework for a particular course due to illness as certified by a Medical Officer of the University or of a government hospital or due to other reasons acceptable by the Senate. Students must submit the medical certificate to the faculty not later than 24 hours before the commencement of the examination of the said course. The grade is also given to students who are unable to submit their undergraduate project theses within the stipulated time allocated by the faculty. Credits will not be taken into account when computing Credit Counted, Credits Obtained, GPA and CPA.

35

Examinations

The end of semester examinations are the final examinations for courses taught through lectures. The allocation of marks for this should not exceed 50% of the overall evaluation mark for the course. Grades for each course will be displayed by the course lecturer and students may submit an appeal for re-evaluation of the examination grade for any course to the faculty within a specified duration and following a specified procedure. Appeals will not be entertained after the expiry date. Students will be charged with a specific amount for each of the courses appealed. Implementations of the final examinations procedure are also applicable to Part-Time students. The question papers, duration, time and dates are identical to Full-Time students but the location is at the relevant Learning Centers. UTMSPACE will provide qualified staff to invigilate and administer the examinations at the Learning Centers. Special examination may be held for any student who is unable to sit for the end of semester examination due to illness as certified by the University Medical Officer or by a government hospital.

Special examination may not be held in the following cases:• Courses which do not have final examinations.• Students who do not sit for the final examination without a valid

reason acceptable to the University/ or being barred from sitting for the final examination, or any other reasons approved by the University Senate.

Academic Performance

The student’s performance is evaluated based on GPA and CPA.

GPA – Grade Point AverageGPA is the grade point average obtained by a student in a particular semester. GPA is computed as follows:

Grade Point Average (GPA) = (Total Point Value for the semester)/ (Total Credits Counted for the semester)

36

CPA – Cumulative Grade Point AverageCPA is the cumulative grade point average obtained by a student for all semesters studied. CPA is computed as follows:

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CPA) = (Total Point Value for all semesters)/ (Total Credits Counted for all semesters)

Academic Performance Rating

The academic rating of a student is determined at the end of a regular semester using CPA as the following:

Academic Performance Rating CPAKB – Satisfactory CPA ≥ 2.00

TM – Unsatisfactory CPA < 2.00

Procedure of Awarding Degree

Degrees are awarded during the two regular semesters. However, under special circumstances, the Senate may allow the awarding of degrees during the short semester. Students are required to submit an application for graduation (award of degree) in a particular semester within a specified duration. A penalty will be imposed on late application of degree award. Students who do not submit their application for the award of a degree during the specified duration will be given a Satisfactory Rating (Program Completed) or KB (TK).

Students, who do not submit their application for the award of degree within five years of completion of their program, will not be awarded with a degree. Students who are not eligible for degrees but submit an application will be asked to pay a penalty.
