Final Year Project


Course code:
CPE490 (6) 

Prerequisites:
BS  Engineering  students  who  have  completed  a  minimum  of  80  credit  hours  and  have  attained  a 
minimum CGPA of 2 or above are eligible to register the final year project (FYP). 

Co requisites:
None 

Course Catalog Description:


None 

Textbook:
None 
 
Reference Books:
None 

Course Learning Objectives:


The aim of the FYP is to enable the student to integrate and apply the knowledge and skills acquired in 
various courses. Furthermore, the student should be able to independently acquire requisite knowledge 
to propose a technical solution to a complex engineering problem in a timely and ethical manner. Finally, 
the student should be able to work independently or in a team and be able to communicate and justify 
the proposed solution effectively. 

Course Learning Outcomes:

After successfully completing FYP, the students will be able to: 
 
1. Utilize fundamental knowledge of science and engineering to identify a complex engineering problem 
and propose a viable solution. (C3-PLO1)
2. Provide a critical review of previous work in the field, and a theoretical foundation for the approach 
taken in the project. (C4-PLO2)
3. Design a system, component, or process that provides a feasible solution to a complex engineering 
problem. (C5-PLO3)
4. Investigate the solution in a methodical way including but not limited to necessary literature survey, 
experiment design and synthesis of information. (C6-PLO4)
5. Describe the proposed solution’s societal implications such as its health and safety aspects. (A3‐
PLO6) 
6. Describe the proposed solution’s sustainable development considerations. (A3‐PLO7)

7. Develop a solution in accordance with the norms of engineering practice and professional ethics. 
(A3- PLO8)
8. Contribute to the project goals both as an individual and a team player. (A3-PLO9)
9. Effectively communicate and justify the developed solution. (A2-PLO10)
10. Demonstrate management skills to achieve project goals in a timely manner. (A3-PLO11)
11. Demonstrate an ability to independently seek and acquire knowledge required for successful project 
completion. (A3-PLO12)
