Message from the DEAN
Assalamualaikum w.b.t and warm greetings
Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering
E
ngineering education at the tertiary
level began in Malaysia in 1956 with the establishment of the Engineering Department at University of Malaya’s Bukit timah campus in Singapore. Only a Bachelor Degree
course in Civil Engineering was offered then. The
department was upgraded to a faculty when University of Malaya relocated to its campus in Lembah Pantai in 1958.
In the same year, the second bachelor degree
course in Mechanical Engineering was introduced.
A year later, a Bachelor Degree course in Electrical
Engineering was added to the number of courses
available to undergraduates.
In 1970, the Faculty introduced the fourth course,
a bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering. All four
courses were turned into respective departments
in 1974. In the 1996/97 session, the Faculty introduced six other courses namely in Telecommuncation Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Materials Engineering, Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Engineering and Biomedical Engineering.
To-date, the Faculty has six departments, Civil Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Design & Manufacture.
The Faculty now offers 12 programmes, with the
lates addition of the Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering (Prosthetics and Orthotics) which was introduced in the 2009/2010 session.
All engineering courses, offered by University of
Malaya, have been accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Council (EAC), the Board of Engineers,
Malaysia (BEM) in order for all undergraduate engineering students to register with them, upon grad-
uation. All programmes have been structured such,
that they meet the nation and the stakeholder’s
vision of producing responsible, multi-talented and
highly qualified engineers of excellent leadership
quality. This is evident from the Programme Outcome and Programme Educational Objectives
mapped out for each course offered.
In line with the global tertiary education scenario,
efforts are in place to drive the Faculty towards excellence and to ensure that the human capital produced
by the university meets current needs.
Towards this direction, the Faculty has adopted the
National Tertiary Education Strategic Plan and inputs
from various stakeholder programmes as the basis to
improve the quality, competitiveness and creativity
of each course offered. As a preliminary step to ensure that all courses offered are relevant to market
needs, the Faculty is reviewing the overall curriculum
in order to produce engineering graduates of high
calibre.

BRIEF PROFILE
CIVIL ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENT OF
The Department of Civil Engineering is one of the first academic
departments set up under the Faculty of Engineering. It currently offers two
academic programs at undergraduate level and post graduate research
qualifications at Master of Engineering Science and Doctor of Philosophy
levels.
The department is sub-divided into six major sections within the
Department namely, Structural and Materials Engineering, Environmental
Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering and
Surveying, Water Engineering, and Construction Management and
Mathematics, and is actively engaged in R&D works with financial support
from the University, Government and other industrial grants. Many
academic members of the Department are also pursuing engineering
consultancies requiring expertise in multidisciplinary areas.
The BEng (Civil) programme was introduced in the year 1956 as a 4-year
programme under the Term System. The programme was recognised by the
Malaysian Public Services Department (JPA) and the Board of Engineers
Malaysia (BEM). In the 1996/97 academic session, a major change was
undertaken in the programme where the BEng (Civil) programme was
offered as a 3-year degree programme under the Semester System (Sistem
Pengajian Tiga Tahun, SPTT).
In the same academic session,
the BEng (Environmental)
programme was introduced as a
3-year degree programme under
the Semester System. Both the
programmes were accredited by
the Board of Engineers Malaysia
on the 21 August 2000.
Starting from the academic
session of 2000/01, under the
instructions from the Ministry of
Education of Malaysia, both the
degree programmes were
offered as a 4-year degree
programme under the Semester
System (Sistem Pengajian Empat
Tahun, SPET). The first batch of
graduates from these
programmes graduated in August
2004.
INTRODUCTION OF
OUTCOME-BASED
EDUCATION (OBE)
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) had been
implemented in the Faculty of Engineering
since 2004, in accordance with the directives
of the Ministry of Higher Education and the
Board of Engineers, Malaysia (BEM). This is
also one of the requirements for Malaysia to
become a full member of the Washington
Accord, an international agreement to
mutually recognize Bachelor degrees in
engineering. The implementation of OBE, as
outlined below, is based on guidelines
prescribed by the Engineering Accreditation
Council (EAC) of Malaysia.
Unlike the traditional teacher-centred
method, OBE is an educational approach that
is more concerned about the outcome (what
students can do) rather than the process
(what instructors did). This is believed to
enhance learning, and hence produce better
graduates. For OBE to be successful, it is
critical to prescribe the expected outcomes, to
measure them objectively, and to take
corrective actions where required.
The outcomes are prescribed at two levels:
(a) Course Outcomes (CO) --- what students
should be able to perform at the end of
each course
(b) Programme outcomes (PO) --- a
composite set of abilities after students
finished all courses
All COs will contribute to some of the POs.
This is to ensure that upon completion of the
courses, all POs are sufficiently covered.
Programme Educational
Objectives (Peo)
The PEO is a set of objectives that the academic programme aspires
that the graduates would achieve in their career and professional life a
few years after graduation.
To guide the formation and fine-tuning of these outcomes, the
Department has formulated the Programme Educational Objectives
(PEO). These are aspirations for graduates to attain 3 to 5 years upon
graduation. The POs are designed to produce graduates who are wellprepared to achieve these PEOs.
The PEOs and POs had been formulated in consultation with all major
stakeholders (employers, alumni and students), to meet the demands
of a challenging and globalized workplace. Any material changes will
also require their views.
A critical component of OBE is the objective measurement of the
outcomes. This is done via multiple channels and methods. At the
course level, there is formative assessment via discussion, assignment,
quizzes etc., in addition to the summative assessment in the final
examination. Students also have the opportunity to provide feedback
through course evaluation, meetings with their academic advisors,
annual surveys, and student-lecturer meetings.
Opinions and
feedback from external parties, e.g. employers, alumni, Industrial
Advisory Panel, are also routinely sought to further calibrate the
outcome measurements.
Based on the input and trends received, the Department will take the
necessary corrective actions, and the results monitored. In short, OBE
is a dynamic, student-centred educational process which incorporates
continuous improvement.
