1. INTRODUCTION
All final year students in UTP are required to undertake a final year project (FYP)
paper, which is a design and/or research-based subject. This course is a compulsory
element in all programmes offered in UTP except for chemical engineering students
where this course becomes elective for students with CGPA higher than 3.0. The
credit hours and the semesters in which it is offered vary according to programmes as
in Table 1 below.
solutions. It is an opportunity for students to use the tools and techniques of problem-
solving to solve the problems they have encountered. With this approach, the learning
students with skills required for managing a project are also incorporated. Thus, the
which will enable them to participate and prepare for future employment.
Working under the guidance of supervisor(s), students may shape the direction of
what they want to be in the near future, as well as gain better understanding of the
responsibilities they have to shoulder when they undertake a project. Teamwork spirit
will be inculcated with the development of good and professional relationship with
1
their supervisor(s) and colleagues. The undertaken project can also be used as a basis
for job employment by fully exploiting the learning process they have gone through,
the skills they have gathered and the experience they have gained from undertaking
the project.
This guideline is prepared for students and supervisors to enable them to execute
both parties. With that, the success of implementation of this course can then be
realised.
2. PURPOSE
The purpose of the project is to develop a framework, which will enhance students'

should be narrowed down so that the project is feasible and could be completed within

indicates the maturity level for the final year bachelor degree programme.

SAMPLE OF DOCUMENTING SOURCES
The followings are the variations of APA Citations. For further reference, please refer
to the internet under Documenting Sources.
Gilster (1993) is very definite: “Simply put, the Internet is changing so rapidly, with
so many new databases, services, addresses, and projects, that it can’t be neatly
encapsulated in any one set of commands or maxims” (p.2).
What is entirely clear is that the Internet “can’t be neatly encapsulated in any one
set of commands or maxims” (Gilster, 1993, p.2).
3. The author has several works listed in the References. If they have different dates,
no special treatment is necessary; if an author has two works dated the same year,
differentiate them in the text and in the References with a lower-case letter after
each date (1993a,1993b).
Gilster (1993a) points out that the Internet “ can’t be encapsulated in any one set of
commands or maxims” (p.2).
4. Paraphrases are handled like quotations. Give the author’s last name, the date, and
the appropriate page numbers.
Gilster (1993) says that the Internet changes so fast that you must come to see your
experience with it as daily learning process.

5. When citing block quotations, the period is placed before the page parentheses.
Do not place quotation marks before and after a block quotation. Indent the left
margin 5 spaces and double-space. Do not indent the right margin.
