What is FYP?FYP is an academic but structured research activity germane to the School of Bioprocess Engineering’s area of specialization and it is COMPULSORY for final year students to undertake and complete a
project as part of the requirement for the conferment of the bachelor’s degree in engineering
The Final Year Project (FYP) consists of an individual piece of work of 15,000-20,000 words in length, on a
subject of the student’s own choosing.
AIM• The main aim of the FYP is to expose and to enhance
student’s knowledge and competency in solving a problem through academic research in order to produce competent engineers/ technologists in the 21st century in line with UniMAP’s Mission and Vision.
OBJECTIVES• After completing the FYP, students are required to show the
ability to:• modulate and utilize academic knowledge and practical
experience in conducting an academic project• think objectively, analytically and critically in identifying
and solving problems in a systematic manner• work independently in conducting and completing an
academic project• present the final results orally and graphically
Why is it important ? FYP is an important course in higher
education & professional development and a major component of EAC curriculum requirement.
FYP is consistent with KPM mission to produce thinking engineers that are able to conduct research with creativity and innovative.
FYP is one of the culminating course that will be evaluated by the EAC to know the ability of the students before graduation.
Why is it important ? Indicates your abilities to select, research and
then present a substantial piece of work that displays your intellectual abilities to the full. › A well-written project is a useful document to display to a
potential employer when you enter the labour market. In any case, the skills that you will have deployed are particularly useful should you wish to undertake work for a higher degree at Masters or at PhD level.
› Moreover, the fact that you have researched and organised a substantial piece of work is a skill that you will be asked to deploy on many occasions in whichever career you choose to enter. You will have learnt to ‘project manage’ a substantial piece of work and learn the techniques associated with writing and assembling a large document and these skills will assist you when it comes to similar ventures in the future.
