FEATURES OF THE ENGINEERING PROGRAMMES
The programmes at School of Engineering are structured into integrated streams and have the following
distinctive features
Project-Based Learning
• Our students learn not just in the classroom or lab environments, but also through a hands-on, project
based approach. They have the opportunity to turn theories into applications, while learning to work
together in a group. As a result, our graduates will be ready to take on industrial challenges and contribute
positively to the community.
Multidisciplinary Teams
• In the industry, engineers of different specialisations often work together to supervise and manage projects.
This scenario is simulated in the School of Engineering, where students from different disciplines like
Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering work together to achieve a common outcome for
projects. Besides leveraging on each other’s skills and knowledge, they also learn to work with people from
different backgrounds, culture and experience – similar to an actual scenario at work.
Innovation and Design Thinking

• Innovation is the buzzword that is often quoted when it comes to products and design in the world of
engineering and technology. The innovation process is taught through a technique called ‘Design Thinking’
and our students’ mindsets are molded so that they become better innovators and problem solvers. By
applying Design Thinking, they will be able to handle complex challenges and issues that crop up in their
environment.
• Students are also given the opportunity to practice filing a patent, thus giving them exposure to intellectual
property rights and helping them graduate with a competitive edge.
Applied Research
• Even at the undergraduate level, Taylor’s engineering students will get a chance to present research papers
at conferences. By engaging in research, our students not only gain further application knowledge, they
also keep abreast of newest discoveries in the field.
• Students who have had early exposure in doing research are well received by the industry. One of the
success stories is Jeremy Ho, who secured a one-year internship with Rolls Royce, U.K.
Quality Academicians
• Our faculty of qualified and experienced staff comprises over 75% PhD lecturers. They come from an
extensive repertoire of academic and industry backgrounds, thus creating a well-balanced reservoir of
knowledge and experience for the students to tap into. Several of our faculty staff are also actively engaged
in research and scholarly activities, which ensures continuous updates in their respective fields.
• We are also proud of our teacher-student ratio of 1:15, which adheres to the international standards of the
highest ranked academic institutions.
Industry Linkages
• To ensure that students are exposed to the industry even before they graduate, they will undergo industry
placement of two to three months. Through the industry placement, they will get a taste of real-life work in
an engineering company.
7
• Our Industrial Advisory Panel (IAP), comprising senior management personnel from various engineering
fields, meet regularly to help review our curriculum and ensure that our students’ learning outcomes are
aligned with the industry’s needs and expectations of today’s engineering graduates.
• The School has been accepted as an official collaborator in the CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement,
Operate) Initiative alongside great institutions, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT),
California State University, the University of Sydney and University of Auckland. Taylor's is the first and
only Malaysian institution that has, thus far, been accepted into this initiative, which is an innovative
educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers.
Cost Savings and Flexibility

• Students can complete their entire degree studies at Taylor's, which translates to significant cost savings.
• If students prefer to complete part of their degree overseas, they can opt for a 1+2 or 2+2 transfer
programme with leading Australian and U.K. universities.

YEAR 3
SUBJECT CREDIT
NAME HOURS
The aim of this subject is to introduce aspects of electronics and
electrical engineering to students of other engineering disciplines in
the context of applications in their discipline. This should develop
their confidence when interacting with electrical engineers in
industry. The subject begins with a review of the areas where
electronic and electrical engineering principles are applied in civil,
chemical, manufacturing and mechanical engineering and materials
Introduction to science. An introduction to basic concepts of electronics leads into
ENG Electronics and DC circuits and circuit analysis, power and energy. An appreciation
3
3243 Electrical Power of linear and non-linear components is provided through the diode
& Machines and LED. Active learning in the lecture environment will be a key
feature of this section. The concept of electrical transducers as a
means of interfacing to, and monitoring, the real world leads to the
simple application of operational amplifiers. Examples of uses of
transducers and actuators in engineering industry will emphasise the
importance of proper calibration. As an exercise students will
specify a transducer for a particular application to achieve the
appropriate range, gain and accuracy.
In this subject, students work in groups (of approximately five) to
produce group and individual reports concerning the design of a
chemical/biochemical/minerals process. They also make formal and
informal oral presentations. All reports and presentations are to be to
of commercial, professional standard. The design work is supported
ENG Chemical
by frequent classes and seminars, and if possible, a site visit. In
Engineering 3
3953 most cases, a manufacturing or commercial organisation will provide
Group Project 1
background material and data, and the supporting involvement of
staff from such organisations is encouraged. Each student group
reports to the TUC Lecturer in charge, who takes responsibility for
administering the project, the progress and welfare of the design
teams and marking.
This subject consists of three elements: matrix modelling methods,
mathematics and dynamic modelling techniques, and issues in
modern process control and modelling. Students are taught how to
CHE Chemical construct and analyse advanced dynamic models of chemical
Process 3 engineering systems. A number of mathematical techniques with
3513
Modelling applications in chemical engineering are covered. It also covers the
mathematical tools required to analyse and solve linear and non-
linear chemical engineering-based models, with examples.
This subject covers critical theoretical material for momentum
transport and addresses viscous and turbulent flows between solid
boundaries. The principle of similitude is applied to the design and
analysis of pumped flow systems and cost optimisation is applied to
Advanced Heat the design of pipelines. Engineering applications such as complex
CHE
and Momentum 3 pipe networks and combined pipe-pump systems are analysed. The
3213 heat transfer material covered in Thermodynamics and Heat
Transfer
Transfer (ENG1213) is further extended to cover convection and
radiation. Computer based methods of solution of heat and mass
transfer problems are introduced and applied to some process
examples.
18
In this subject, the interactions and interdependency between
different process units are further developed via case studies. The
Process subject builds on these principles by introducing more unit processes
CHE Integration and such as liquid-liquid extraction, crystallisation and leaching (solid-
3
3613 Unit Operations liquid extraction), as well as advanced multiphase separations

Duration
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Chemical Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Electrical

& Electronic Engineering and Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Mechanical Engineering
The duration of the degree programme is eight semesters over four academic years. Each semester normally
includes 14 teaching weeks, 1 study week and 1 week of examinations. The degree requires the mandatory
completion of a minimum of 8 weeks industrial placement.
Categories of Subjects
All subjects in the programme are taught in English, with the exception of some Malaysian Qualifications
Agency (MQA) Compulsory Subjects. Subjects offered in the programme, and their percentages of total credit
hours, are grouped under the following categories:
Core subjects
These subjects are subjects deemed essential for a comprehensive understanding, knowledge and
development of a programme. Certain subjects may carry prerequisites and students must meet prerequisites in
order to continue enrolment and must pass all Core subjects to qualify for the Degree.
ENG Code for Common Engineering subjects

EEE Code for Electrical and Electronic Engineering subjects
MEC Code for Mechanical Engineering subjects
CHE Code for Chemical Engineering subjects
Elective
Elective subjects are subjects offered in courses other than the chosen field of study. Students choose subjects
to develop areas of specialization and enhance professional development.
Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) Compulsory Subjects (Code: MPW)

MPW Compulsory Subjects are subjects that deal with areas of personal development, awareness and
enhancement of one self for the benefit of the individual, society and country. With effect from 1st January 2006,
international students (non-Malaysians) are exempted from all MPW Compulsory Subjects but have the option
to sign up for classes should they choose to do so. MPW Compulsory Subjects will be listed as ‘Exempted’ in
the transcript and do not count towards the overall cumulative average.
Malaysian students must attend and pass the required MPW Compulsory Subjects as a requirement to
complete their studies. MPW Compulsory Subjects are credit-bearing and count towards the overall cumulative
average and the number of credits required to graduate.
MPW 2113 Bahasa Kebangsaan A Compulsory for all Malaysian students who did not achieve a minimum
grade of C6 for Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) Bahasa Melayu
MPW 2123 Bahasa Kebangsaan B Optional for international students

MODERATION GUIDELINES
Subject Outlines
Lecturers are responsible for compiling subject outlines that include the assessment structure and criteria,
scheme of work, weekly plans, teaching notes, student lists and attendance records. The relevant staff of both
institutions review course outlines and agree on any necessary adjustments that may need to be made.
Assessment of Student Work
Student work will be graded clearly with marking sheets with appropriate comments for student feedback.
Review of Student Work
Student work completed during the semester that has been reviewed by Taylor’s School of Engineering
lecturers will be retrieved and presented at a scheduled time to external moderators.
Board of Examiners Meeting
Moderation will conclude with a Board of Examiners Meeting chaired by the Dean. The members of the Board of
Examiners will comprise the Head of Registry, Programme Directors, Stream Coordinators, External Examiner,
staff from Examination Centre and all full-time and part-time lecturers. A list of total students and their marks,
grades and awards for all subjects, will be presented to all members of the Board for deliberation. The Board
will pay particular attention to students requiring particular adjudication, for example, marginal failure and
recommendation for resit examination or exclusion.
The marks, grades and awards determined and confirmed at the Board of Examiners Meeting are final and can
only be changed as a result of a student submitting to the appeals process.
Moderation Report
Moderator(s) from the industry shall prepare Moderation Reports after the conclusion of the Board of Examiners
Meetings. The Programme Directors will submit a written feedback with suitable input by the relevant staff of the
Taylor’s School of Engineering.
43
OTHER POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
Awareness of Requirements
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they are fully informed of all aspects of the assessment process.
Students need to be very clear about what is required in each subject. These requirements are provided in
subject outlines that are provided to students at the beginning of the semester. Different subjects have quite
different requirements. These may include preparation for classes, class participation, completing an
independent learning task or working with other students on a collaborative project.
Participation
Students are encouraged to participate in classes that are set aside for discussion. Listening to and considering
other views and expressing opinions about a topic assist in developing critical and analytical skills.
Standard Academic Load
The standard academic load is 15 credit hours a semester. Subjects cannot be dropped without prior approval
from the Divisional Office. Students are also not allowed to register for more than the standard academic load
without approval from the Divisional Office.
Subject Withdrawal
See Add/Drop Subject under General Rules and Regulations and the Academic Calendar with respect to the
deadlines and related status for dropping a subject. A student who wishes to discontinue a subject is advised to
first consult the Dean. If withdrawal of a subject is made within the first 2 weeks of the semester, no notation of
the subject will be made on the transcript. If withdrawal of a subject is made between week 5 and week 7
(inclusive) of the semester, a Withdraw – Not Fail (WD) notation will be made in the transcript. If withdrawal of a
subject is made between week 8 and week 11 (inclusive) of the semester, a Withdraw Fail (WF) notation will be
made in the transcript.
Late Submission of Work and Extensions to Deadlines
The School imposes a late submission penalty for work submitted late without a valid reason e.g. a medical
certificate. A student must notify the Divisional Office within 48 hours to ensure that the Board of Examiners is
notified of the evidence. The evidence will aid the Board to reach a decision to assess the student by whatever
means it sees fit but care will be taken to ensure that the student is not put at an unfair advantage over other
students.
Individual members of staff shall be permitted to grant extensions for assessed work that they have set if they
are satisfied that a student has given good reasons.
Late Submission Penalty
Any work submitted after the deadline (which may have been extended) shall have the percentage grade
assigned to the work on face value reduced by 10% for the first day and 5% for each subsequent day late. A
weekend counts as 1 day.
Lecturers reserve the right to not accept work submitted more than 1 week late.
The Board of Examiners may overrule any penalty imposed and allow the actual mark achieved to be used if
the late submission was with a good reason.
44
ASSESSMENT AND GRADING
Assessment in School of Engineering serves a variety of purposes:
to aid student learning by providing expert feedback on performance;
to aid teaching by providing feedback on student learning;
to demonstrate that requirements have been met for the award of the degree;
to provide employers with a basis for judging levels of academic performance.
Assessment normally will be in part “progressive” in that marks will be earned for a range of assessments
completed during the semester. Individual subject outlines will indicate the allocation of marks for each
component. To complete a subject satisfactorily, each student must satisfy the requirements as set out in each
subject outline. Students seeking a review of assessment on any item of progressive assessment should
approach their lecturer directly.
Students will be assessed in all subjects. Students must attempt all work prescribed in any particular subject. A
variety of assessment modes are employed such as assignments, coursework, projects, group work and
presentation, report, class participation, tutorials, mid-semester tests, quizzes and final semester examinations.
The final grade for each subject will be derived from a combination of all assessment marks and, if applicable,
the final examination mark.
Students will be notified of their grades, not the actual percentage scores in each subject undertaken during the
semester. The possible grades that may appear on official transcripts are indicated below:

Total 18 59.64
Calculation of Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
CGPA = Summation of (credits x grade points) for all subjects thus far
Total credits for all semesters
The CGPA gives an overview of how well the student is doing so far over the entire duration of his/her study.
The final CGPA, after completion of the total number of credits required to graduate from a particular
programme, determines the class of degree to be awarded to the student.
46
GENERAL ACADEMIC PROGRESSION RULES
Course Progression
Students may take a subject only after passing the prerequisite, if any.
Whenever a timetable clash occurs, students must complete subjects from a lower level or semester prior to
undertaking a higher level subject.
A student must obtain a grade point average of at least 2.00 for a semester, except practicum to proceed with a
full load the following semester. Otherwise the student will be placed under Academic Probation.
Academic Probation
A student who, for the first time, achieves a cumulative grade point average, CGPA of less than 2.00 and / or
fails half of all their subjects taken in a particular semester will be placed on Academic Probation 1. Students in
this category will be assigned to an academic advisor and are required to report for individual counseling on a
regular basis. The academic advisor will review the study plan for the student.
Should a student under Academic Probation 1 obtain a cumulative grade point average, CGPA of less than 2.00
and / or fail half of all their total subjects in the subsequent semester, he/she will be placed on Academic
Probation 2. Students in this category will be assigned to an academic advisor and are required to report for
individual counseling on a regular basis. The academic advisor will review the study plan for the student.
The student will also not be permitted to take the standard academic load. A student who fails to clear
Academic Probation 2, meaning that their CGPA has not improved and/or that they have failed half of their total
subjects, will be excluded from the programme.
Pass and Marginal Pass
A minimum grade C is required for a pass in all subjects under the category of Core, Electives and MQA
Compulsory Subjects. A minimum grade D- is required for subjects under the category of Electives. Students
need to repeat subjects below the specified pass for the respective categories.
Resit Examination
A student who fails a subject with a final grade of D+, D or D- will be allowed to resit the examination or
resubmit an assessment for the failed subject, to be determined by the Board of Examiners, before the
commencement of the next semester. The maximum passing grade awarded for the resit examination will be a
grade C (RS), irrespective of the actual mark of the resit examination/assessment.
Repeating Subjects
Students who obtain a grade C and above for a subject may not repeat the subject. However, subjects with a
grade D+ and below are eligible for a repeat. Students repeating the subject(s) will be assessed and given the
actual grade achieved.
A student is allowed a maximum of 3 attempts per subject. A resit examination/assessment is not considered an
attempt.
47
Alternative Examinations
If a student is unable to attend / attempt the final examination with a valid reason, they can be offered an
alternative examination at a later time, typically within a week. Students should submit a Request for Alternative
Examination (Illness/ Misadventure before Examination) Form to the Examination Centre within 48 hours of the
examination. They must consult a professional authority (such as medical practitioner) and should complete a
Request for Alternative Examination Form which must be submitted to the Examination Centre no later than
3 working days after the said examination.
Special Considerations
Students who, because of illness or other circumstances beyond their control, experience difficulty in meeting
assessment requirements or believe that their performance in an assessment will be affected, must submit a
Request for Special Consideration Form to the Divisional Office within 24 hours of, if not before the
assessment or the due date of the assessment task. Applications for extension of the period of submission of
assessments shall be lodged with the Divisional Office.
Supplementary Examinations
Supplementary Examinations are given to students who are in the final (graduating) semester of the programme
who have failed one subject. The student will be allowed to sit for this examination which will be held within two
weeks from the date the results are released.
• Failure to attend or failing a supplementary examination will mean the student will have to repeat the
subject in the following semester.
• The Board of Examiners will determine which form of supplementary assessment is to be undertaken
by a student that they deem eligible for supplementary assessment: to re-sit the final examination or to
resubmit an assignment for the failed subject.
• The maximum passing grade awarded for the re-assessed subject will be a grade C, irrespective of the
actual mark of the re-sit examination / re-submitted assignment.
Maximum Completion Time
Except where otherwise provided, the maximum time to complete the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
Chemical Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Electrical & Electronic Engineering and Bachelor of
Engineering (Honours) Mechanical Engineering is 6 years. This shall not include periods of approved leave of
absence from the course.
Exclusion
A student will be excluded from the programme under the following circumstances:
Failing to obtain a grade point average of at least 2.00 for three consecutive semesters.
Failing to complete the programme within the maximum completion time.
Failing a subject after three attempts.
Students who have been excluded may not be readmitted into the same programme.
