6. What is FYP?
FYP is an academic but structured research activity germane to the School of Bioprocess Engineering’s area of specialization and it is COMPULSORY for final year students to undertake and complete a project as part of the requirement for the conferment of the bachelor’s degree in engineering
The Final Year Project (FYP) consists of an individual piece of work of 15,000-20,000 words in length, on a subject of the student’s own choosing.

7. AIM
to expose and to enhance student’s knowledge and competency in solving a problem through academic research in order to produce competent engineers/ technologists in the 21st century in line with UniMAP’s Mission and Vision.
OBJECTIVES
After completing the FYP, students are required to show the ability to:
modulate and utilize academic knowledge and practical experience in conducting an academic project
think objectively, analytically and critically in identifying and solving problems in a systematic manner
work independently in conducting and completing an academic project
present the final results orally and graphically

8. Why is it important ?
FYP is an important course in higher education & professional development and a major component of EAC curriculum requirement.
FYP is consistent with KPM mission to produce thinking engineers that are able to conduct research with creativity and innovative.
FYP is one of the culminating course that will be evaluated by the EAC to know the ability of the students before graduation.

9. Why is it important ?
Indicates your abilities to select, research and then present a substantial piece of work that displays your intellectual abilities to the full.
