Course Code: BTI3623 / BTT3623
Programme: Bachelor of Mechatronic Engineering Technology (Robotics) / Bachelor of Mechatronic Engineering Technology
Institution: Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA)
Course Description
The Capstone Project is a final-year integrated design experience where students conceive, design, implement, and evaluate a complete engineering solution to a real-world problem. Students apply knowledge from across their programme under faculty supervision.
Key Components
- Project proposal and feasibility study
- Literature review and technical benchmarking
- System design, prototyping, and fabrication
- Testing, evaluation, and performance analysis
- Technical report writing and oral presentation
- Application of professional and ethical engineering practice
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Define and scope an engineering problem through systematic analysis
- Design and implement a complete engineering solution integrating multiple disciplines
- Apply professional engineering practices including documentation and project management
- Evaluate and validate engineering solutions against defined performance criteria
- Communicate engineering work effectively through written reports and oral presentations
Recent Supervised Projects
