Use of engineering tools
Demonstrate competence to apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern computing, engineering and IT tools to well-defined
engineering problems, with an awareness of the limitations.
Through mini-project.
The learner is assessed on applying engineering principles and tools to solve well-defined mechanical engineering problems. GA rubric is used
to measure student's level of achievement of the given project.
When the student achieves satisfactory level 3 or level 4 of graduate attribute according to the marking rubric.
If the student fails or not competent on the GA 5 during the semester, he or she will be granted another chance. If the student does not obtain a
minimum requirement of level 3 to pass the GA 5, then the student has to repeat the subject.
Level 4 (75% to 100%)
Level 3 (50% to 74%)
Level 2 (25% to 49%)
Level 1 (0% to 24%)
