The Faculty of Engineering of Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB) today organised a one-day ‘BEng1 Final Year Project Exhibition’, the first of its kind organised in this scale. The exhibition was officiated by the Vice-Chancellor of UTB, Professor Dr. Hajah Zohrah binti Haji Sulaiman.
159 individual and group final year projects were showcased by 174 students from Civil Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Petroleum & Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering programmes. These were capstone projects that gave students the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to apply engineering design and research principles in solving real-world problems covering a diverse range of areas including:
- Civil Engineering: water pollution, road safety performance, traffic accidents, hot weather concreting, and earthquake;
- Electrical & Electronic Engineering: embedded systems, substation grounding system, solar power, and digital integrated circuit;
- Mechanical Engineering: fertigation, mobile robot, image processing, unmanned aerial vehicle, water piping network, ductless ventilation, hybrid composite materials, composite rotor-bearing system, manual battery charger, damage tolerance analysis, multipurpose portable table, application of RFID, window cleaning robot systems, JIT production approach, thermal load on houses, bionic leg, and use of impinging jet; and
- Petroleum and Chemical Engineering: heat exchanger design, flash drum design, distillation column design and reactor design.
The Faculty of Engineering is the largest faculty in UTB with a total number of around 840 students and 77 academic staff. The Faculty currently offers seven undergraduate degree programmes and also Masters and PhD programmes in Electrical & Electronic, Mechanical, Civil, and Petroleum & Chemical Engineering disciplines. It has been the main provider of engineering higher education in the country since 1986.
