Engineering Practice Exposure

In FKAAB, we prepare our students for their careers by exposing them to engineering practice throughout our curriculum. With 18 Professional Engineers and 5 Chartered Engineers amongst our teaching staff, we ensure students are exposed to common practices in the industry, complex problem solving and professional work ethics through specially designed courses such as Engineers & Society and Professionals At Work. In addition, students are taken on industry visits to gain first-hand experience.

Students will also conduct industry-based projects in their Final Year Project (FYP), Integrated Design Project (IDP) and Industrial Training courses. Apart from that, guest lectures and seminars by industry practitioners are embedded into courses, while members of our Industrial Advisory Panel are not only actively involved in examining our curriculum and providing valuable suggestions to suit current needs in the industry, but are also involved in assessing FYP and IDP student projects.
