The quality of first-class undergraduate education and teaching is an important foundation for the construction of first-class universities and first-class disciplines. In response to the call of the Chinese Government's “Excellent Engineer Education and Training Program” and “Double First-class”, school of astronautics of Beihang University began to explore a new specialty practice curriculum model for cultivating new engineering talents. We conducted a curriculum experiment which is featured by integrating three originally separate specialty practice courses (i.e., engineering practice, specialty course design and graduation design) with each other among some junior students majored flight vehicle propulsion. 32 students were divided into two groups, the experimental group and control group. The experimental results show students of the experimental group have achieved considerably higher scores than those of the control group and the level of significant statistical difference has been reached. In this paper, the implementation and results of the integrative specialty practice curriculum reform will be analyzed through mixed methods analysis using SPSS and NVivo. The interaction and relationships between the three specialty practice courses will also be explored.

Integrated Cumulative Grade Point Average (iCGPA) has been introduced in 2015 by Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) Malaysia to assess and enhance the development as well as performance of students at Higher Learning Institutions (IHL) in Malaysia. The main objective of this approach is to produce holistic, entrepreneurial and balanced graduates in addressing the issue of graduate employability. In the approach, the students' performance is not only evaluated by their knowledge but also on their attitude and skills obtained during the studies. To ensure that the assessment is accurately measured, the existing curriculum approach needs to be restructured and constructively aligned with iCGPA system. This paper presents the constructive alignment that has been conducted at course and programme levels for Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) Electrical Engineering programme in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) for semester 1 2016 (session March–July). The assessment is designed based on the nine graduate attributes or Learning Outcomes (LOs) as stated in the iCGPA-MoHE requirements. The curriculum is reviewed based on Course versus Learning Outcome (LO) matrix. The results revealed that at least 3 out of 125 total core courses are required to be included in the overall assessment to satisfy 5% courses supporting attainment of the nine MoHE LOs requirements.
综合累积平均成绩(iCGPA)于2015年由马来西亚高等教育部(MoHE)引入,以评估和提高马来西亚高等教育机构(IHL)学生的发展和表现。这种方法的主要目标是在解决毕业生就业能力问题时,培养全面、创业和平衡的毕业生。在这种方法中,学生的表现不仅取决于他们的知识,还取决于他们在学习过程中获得的态度和技能。为了确保评估得到准确衡量,现有的课程方法需要进行重组,并建设性地与iCGPA系统保持一致。本文介绍了在工程(荣誉)学士学位课程和课程水平上进行的建设性调整。2016年第1学期(3 - 7月)在意大利玛拉理工大学(Universiti technologii MARA, UiTM)学习电气工程课程。评估是根据iCGPA-MoHE要求中规定的九个毕业生属性或学习成果(LOs)设计的。课程是根据课程与学习成果(LO)矩阵进行审查的。结果显示,在125门核心课程中,至少有3门课程需要纳入整体评估,以满足5%的课程支持达到MoHE LOs的9项要求。

Digital Fundamental Course is an elementary course offered by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) for semester 1 undergraduate students. Students seem to have difficulty in understanding the basic concepts of a digital systems from the lectures, tutorial classes and reference books. Based on an initial survey, it is found that most students are visual learners who can learn effectively through visual aids. One of the popular visual aids among the students nowadays is video. They would prefer to look for video from the Internet that discusses on the subject matter. However, they still have difficulty in understanding the contents probably due to the language accent and the depth of the contents. Thus, this paper proposed a custom made video lecture series which are based on the lectures given in the class. The survey on students' satisfaction is carried out and performance of the students is compared to gauge the effectiveness of this approach. The feedback from the students show that they enjoy referring to the lecture video which could enhance their understanding. It is also found that the performance of the students equipped with the video is better compared to the students who does not have a supplementary video on the lectures.

This paper describes the Project Design (PD) Education at Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT) and an effective module to equip students with the relevant skillsets of an engineer to be ready for the industry. A case study of the Project Design I (PD I) is used to demonstrate the workflow involved. The process in each Project Design (PD) courses will ensure students acquire soft skills, e.g. communication, collaboration/teamwork, presentation, etc., from early years and continue to apply the skills in their problem-solving process at the final year. This paper also illustrates several steps involved in the process such as identifying, investigating and analyzing problems before creating ideas or providing selected solutions to the problems. Teamwork skills are specifically instilled in the course in order to ensure participation of each student. The communication and thinking skills that were claimed lacking before, are improved with the continuity of the courses in any educational program.

This study is to investigate the perception and service expectation of engineering student to curriculum to measure quality of service. SERQUAL model developed by Parasuraman et al. is used to compare difference between expected and actually services perceived. The model proposes measuring service quality into five service dimensions. The survey was carried out from third and fourth year students in a case study of engineering faculty. The questionnaires of 1536 respondents from 19 curriculums are analyzed. It shows that the average score of perceived service quality in each dimension are as follow: Assurance 4.85, reliable 4.73, Tangible 4.53, empathy 4.72 and responsive 4.3 of full score of 7. The highest dimension is Assurance and the lowest dimension is Responsive. In all dimension by using t-test hypothesis, there are statistically significant difference between expectation and services perceived. Moreover, it is found that services perceived by students in all curriculums are statistically different. The work from this study would be the guideline for management to use to improve the level of education activity and service in engineering faculty.

Many electrical and electronic engineering program has been developed to educate, train and groom future electrical and electronic engineers. Students that are not able to understand, visualize and relate real application with theoretical concept will find it difficult to cope with the program. Thus the intention of this paper is to demonstrate the approach of Engineering is fun with Concept- Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) concept embedded in Final Year Project (FYP) Electrical Engineering Diploma Program at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Pasir Gudang Campus. FYP are being conducted for two semesters. The first semester is where students will search and choose their own topic. Furthermore, students have to present and propose the topics they have chosen in the same semester and lecturers will access their communication skills. The prototype will be built during the second semester and it will test the student's psychomotor skills. This paper will show an example of one student FYP product prototype called The Evolution of Mastermind Boardgame pertaining to the embedded CDIO concepts. It is hoped from this work, student's understanding can be strengthen in order to develop students that fully equipped with strong background of electrical and electronic engineering concept.
许多电气和电子工程项目已经开发出来,以教育,培训和培养未来的电气和电子工程师。不能理解、想象并将实际应用与理论概念联系起来的学生将很难应付该课程。因此,本文的目的是通过将概念-设计-实现-操作(CDIO)概念嵌入电气工程大学玛拉分校(UiTM)帕西古当校区的最后一年项目(FYP)电气工程文凭课程,来证明工程方法是有趣的。五年计划为期两个学期。第一学期,学生将搜索并选择自己的主题。此外,学生必须展示和提出他们在同一学期选择的主题,讲师将学习他们的沟通技巧。原型机将在第二学期完成,它将测试学生的精神运动技能。本文将展示一个学生五年计划产品原型的例子,该原型名为《The Evolution of Mastermind Boardgame》,与嵌入式CDIO概念有关。希望通过本工作,加强学生的理解,培养具有较强电气电子工程概念背景的学生。
