26. FAQs 1) How the project are assigned
The  registered FYP1 students select the ‘Project Assignment Areas,’ defined by the Academic Staff before the semester starts.
2) Can Supervisor or student be pre-assigned
No. Not at the moment.
3) CHANGE OF SUPERVISOR
SUPERVISOR CHANGE IS NOT RECOMENEDED.
Only for special cases such as : Student is involved in some prior ACTIVITY, WORK (Grant, Equipment, Software) with the intended
supervisor.
The FYP system assign average# of FYP students registered/staff e.g. 4 students/staff
  i) If student  wish to change to  another staff member on conditions describe above and who  have less than average (4) , then there is no problem
ii) If the new staff member has average students, then he has to let go one student to another staff who has less than  average student. In this case the students and staffs has to arrange/settle all the process and inform the Coordinator.
P1-2(b)- Change Project Supervisor form  

27. 4) What will happen if the student is Inactive  
In inactive student case the supervisor will consult  Academic Advisor and seek his help .
5) How’s the add/drop  FYP students are handled?
Same as other subjects.
6) Can FYP marks be reviewed
Yes.
7) How to get RM400 Project entitlement for purchase and Works.
Use form ‘FYP (Form COE01)File’ in moodle and approved it from Supervisor and give it to Mech. Lab Manager. Don’t make purchase before the form is approved.
8) How to get Conveyance allowance.
There is no conveyance allowance for travelling and boarding Lodging. Your Supervisor can request for UNITEN’s Transportation.
9) When to apply for project extension
Should apply between 9 – 14 Week.
10) Progress Report Format (Problem Statement, Objective, Methodology)

WK2: Conceptually-based mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and formal aspects of computer and information science to support analysis and modelling applicable to the discipline
WK3: A systematic, theory-based formulation of engineering fundamentals required in the engineering discipline
WK4: Engineering specialist knowledge that provides theoretical frameworks and bodies of knowledge for the accepted practice areas in the engineering discipline; much is at the forefront of the discipline.
eg. Flood situation
WK5: Knowledge that supports engineering design in a practice area
WK6: Knowledge of engineering practice (technology) in the practice areas in the engineering discipline
WK7: Comprehension of the role of engineering in society and identified issues in engineering practice in the discipline: ethics and the professional responsibility of an engineer to public safety; the impacts of engineering activity: economic, social, cultural, environmental and sustainability
WK8: Engagement with selected knowledge in the research literature of the discipline
Students are to design a methodology, investigate, analyze, and conclude the research on complex engineering problems. This knowledge attribute is evaluated in student's thesis (61.5%)
