Module Submission Document for H13IDT Industrial Training (Completed) Year 10/11

Total Credit: 0 Level: 3 Status: Live Taught Semester and Assessment Period: Summer vacation period and assessed prior to beginning of Autumn Semester. Session Availability: Every year. Pre-requisite(s): A good grounding in all aspects of the relevant engineering discipline of study at undergraduate level. Co-requisite(s): None. Expected Number of Students Taking Module: Any number. Is this a Cap?: No. Restriction for Cap: None. Target Students: B/MEng students studying within the Faculty of Engineering at the Malaysia Campus. Other Regulations: This module should be taken after completing Part I and prior to the commencement of Part III of the students engineering course. Summary of Content: This module requires a student to complete a placement at an external organization carrying out professionally supervised practical training. The industrial training must last a minimum of twelve consecutive weeks in the same company or institution. While it is difficult to provide general criteria for the type of work performed, it is expected that the training will be relevant to the engineering discipline of study, as judged by the relevant Department.

Module Convenor: Ir Dr Chan Swee Huat Module Contribution: Essential requirement for accreditation of MEng programmes by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). Administration Details: Fully administrated by Faculty of Engineering, Malaysia Campus. Aims: to expose students to the practical working environment; to expose students to specific practices in their respective areas of specialization; to increase the student's knowledge, skills and experience of industry;

to produce graduates with the competencies expected by employers; to increase employment opportunities; to forge a closer network between the university and industry.

Learning Outcomes: Knowledge and understanding of - scientific concepts, principles and theories; - principles of design applied to conceptual and detailed design; - management and business techniques and practices; and - quality, health, safety and environmental considerations, including professional, legal and ethical responsibilities and risk management. Intellectual skills ability to - select and apply scientific and engineering principles to model, analyse and solve problems; - design and evaluate systems, processes and components to satisfy a need; - be creative in the planning, execution and reporting of investigations requiring the application of engineering knowledge and understanding; and - apply management methods to the evaluation of resource, quality, health, safety, risk and environmental issues associated with engineering. Professional practical skills ability to - generate and process experimental and survey data including an evaluation of the results and their validity; - appreciate the role and use of codes of practice, industry standards and other sources of information; - apply engineering techniques taking into account industrial and commercial constraints; and - carry out risk assessments and use technical equipment safely in laboratory, project and field work. General transferable skills ability to - use creativity, innovation and critical judgment in solving problems with limited or contradictory information and transfer the solutions as appropriate; - communicate effectively in a variety of ways, including written, oral, pictorial and graphical means, for engineering, construction and business purposes; - manage time and resources in personal plans and work to deadlines; and - work independently and in teams in a range of roles.

Consulted Schools: Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Department of Mechanical, Manufacturing and Materials Engineering. I confirm that: adequate consultation has taken place with the Information Services Directorate and with any other resource provider. any other school involved in the delivery of this module has been consulted and supports the proposal appropriate consideration of this proposal has been undertaken within the School for quality and resource assurance the School which is the discipline leader within the University for this subject area, if a School other than the proposing School, has been consulted and supports this proposal I fully support this proposal
