6 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Engineering Handbook is specially prepared for the undergraduate engineering students of Universiti Sains Malaysia who will commence their first year studies in the academic year of 2012/2013. This handbook contains concise information that will prove useful in helping students to understand the university s system of study as well as to adopt oneself to university life. Information in this handbook covers various aspects such as the programme structure of the Bachelor of Engineering degree, the academic system, types of courses, synopsis of the courses, student status, examination and evaluation system, information about the engineering schools, reference materials and academic staff list. This information would give a clear picture to the students for them to plan their academic studies, understand the field of studies that they are following and adapt themselves to the teaching and learning environment of the university. Universiti Sains Malaysia offers Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) programmes through its six schools of engineering: School of Aerospace Engineering School of Chemical Engineering School of Civil Engineering School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering School of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering School of Mechanical Engineering 1.1 History and Development In 1972, Universiti Sains Malaysia established the School of Applied Science at the Main Campus in Penang and offered basic fields of engineering studies. The fields of studies offered at the time were Electronic Technology, Polymer Technology, Food Technology, Materials Technology and Mineral Resources Technology. In 1984, the School of Applied Science was restructured and given a new name, the School of Engineering Science and Industrial Technology. This restructuring, which corresponded to the development of Malaysia s Industrial Masterplan that is in turn related to the country s human utilization needs, gave birth to three new schools. They were the School of Industrial Technology which focused on offering studies in fields such as polymer and food technologies, the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and the School of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering. The expansion that took place required an increase in the physical space of the campus. Since the physical area of USM in Penang at the time was rather limited, a new area in the state of Perak was identified as the site for the development of a branch campus. 1

7 A decision was reached whereby all fields of engineering studies were transferred to Perak while the School of Industrial Technology remained in Penang. In 1986, the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and the School of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering moved to a temporary campus at the old Ipoh Town Council building while waiting for the construction of the USM branch campus in Bandar Baru Seri Iskandar, Perak Tengah District, Perak to be completed. The temporary campus was named USM Perak Branch Campus (USMKCP USM Kampus Cawangan Perak). In 1987, construction began at the site of USM Perak Branch Campus in Bandar Baru Seri Iskandar. On 1 st January 1989, the scope of engineering studies was expanded further with the establishment of two new schools of engineering: the School of Civil Engineering and the School of Mechanical Engineering. By the end of November 1989, all four USM engineering schools began moving to USM Perak Branch Campus in Seri Iskandar in stages and the moving process finally ended in April The Ipoh Town Council building which housed USM s temporary campus was handed back to the Town Council in a glorious ceremony that was graced by the DYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Dipertuan Agong, Sultan Azlan Shah. In 1992, USM established its fifth engineering school, the School of Chemical Engineering. Two years later, efforts to offer studies in the field of Aerospace Engineering went underway. On 17 th of May 1998, the USM Aerospace Engineering Unit was established and on the 1 st of March 1999 the unit was upgraded to the School of Aerospace Engineering. In 1997, the government decided to transfer USMKCP back to Penang. The new campus site was located in Seri Ampangan, Nibong Tebal, Seberang Perai Selatan, Penang while USMKCP s campus site in Seri Iskandar was taken over by the Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP). The Engineering Campus moved in stages in USM s Engineering Campus in Seri Ampangan, Nibong Tebal began its operations in the 2001/2002 Academic Session in June In 2007, USM was appointed as one of the four research universities by the Ministry of Higher Education [MoHE] through a rigorous evaluation process thus elevating its status to the top among more than 100 public and private universities and colleges in Malaysia. In the same year, USM was rated as the only excellent (or 5-Star) university in the Academic Reputation Survey conducted by the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA). On 4 th of September 2008, USM was granted with an APEX (the Accelerated Programme for Excellence) status by the Malaysian s government. This status requires USM to transform its system in order to move up its World University Rankings with a target of top 100 in five years and top 50 by USM's transformation plan, entitled Transforming Higher Education for a Sustainable Tomorrow will embark on numerous transformational journeys, including revamping 2

8 most of its activities pertaining to nurturing and learning, research and innovation, services, students and alumni and the management of the university as a whole. The University takes steps to improve the three core pillars of its strengths, [i] concentration of talent, [ii] resources and [iii] acculturation of supportive governance. 1.2 Philosophy and Objective The philosophy and objective of the Bachelor of Engineering programme at the Universiti Sains Malaysia is to produce qualified engineering graduates in various fields who are able to find solutions to diverse problems through innovative thinking. The engineering programme at USM aims to produce professional engineers who are responsible towards research and development, project management, production planning and control and accreditation of equipments in various fields in the country. Thus all courses that are being offered in the engineering programme blend together the theoretical and practical aspects of learning according to the relevant needs of the industrial public sectors. The fields of engineering studies in USM are up to date and challenging so as to fulfil the nation s industrial development needs. Students will also be equipped with fundamentals of business practice such as finance, marketing and management as well as co-curricular activities so that the students could adapt themselves well to the current state of affairs. 1.3 Outcome Based Education All bachelor engineering programmes at the Universiti Sains Malaysia have adopted the Outcome Based Education (OBE) since the academic year of 2006/2007. The OBE emphasises that the professional attributes of the graduates satisfy the current and future needs of the country and global market in general. For this, the programme educational objectives of each programme offered at the Engineering Schools are developed through interviews and surveys from the stakeholders including industries, government, parents, students, alumni and the university lecturers. This signifies that the programmes offered in USM are relevance to the current need of industries and society and for the preparation of high quality future talents. With the agreed programme educational objectives, the curricular structure of each programme is planned accordingly to ensure that our graduate possess the quality attributes as suggested by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) and Board of Engineer Malaysia (BEM) are achieved. The attributes are: ability to acquire and apply knowledge of science and engineering fundamentals, acquired in depth technical competence in a specific engineering discipline, ability to undertake problem identification, formulation and solution, ability to utilise systems approach to design and evaluate operational performance, 3

9 understanding of the principles of design for sustainable development, understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and commitment to them, ability to communicate effectively, not only with engineers but also with the community at large, ability to function effectively as an individual and in a group with the capacity to be a leader or manager, understanding of the social, cultural, global and environmental responsibilities of a professional engineer, and recognising the need to undertake lifelong learning, and possessing/acquiring the capacity to do so. 1.4 Continuous Quality Improvement System To realize the Outcome Based Education, a few mechanisms have been identified to be incorporated into the continuous quality improvement system for the Bachelor of Engineering programmes. Feedbacks are obtained from industries through the Industrial Advisory Panel which consist of at least five engineers or managers from industrial sectors. Feedbacks from the students are obtained from the Lecturer-Student Committee and Interview Session with each student before their convocation. Feedbacks from the alumni are obtained from the USM Alumni Relations Unit and the School s alumni communities such as , webpage and Facebook. All these feedbacks are incorporated for deliberations and approval by the Curriculum Review Committee which convenes annually to identify any particular course or programme that need to be revamped or to undergo minor/major changes. 1.5 External Examiner Universiti Sains Malaysia has appointed external examiners to: Advise the School/Centre concerned regarding matters pertaining to the structure and contents of its undergraduate programmes, research and administration related to examinations. Attention is also focused towards postgraduate programmes where applicable. Scrutinise and evaluate all draft question papers prepared by Internal Examiners. Visit the university during the period of the examinations in order to be familiar with the work of the School/Centre, the available physical facilities and also to participate in activities related directly to the conduct of the examinations. In order to make the visit more meaningful and to obtain a better understanding of the University, an External Examiner who has been appointed for a term of three academic sessions should visit the school/centre during the first academic session of his appointment. 4

10 Scrutinise and evaluate such answer scripts as may be required by the Dean/Director of the School/Centre concerned and to ensure that the standards set by Internal Examiners (of the discipline to which he/she is appointed) are the same as those at other Universities of International standing. Ensure uniformity in the evaluation of answer scripts by the Internal Examiners between candidates of the same standard. Examine the oral component or viva-voce where required. Hold seminars/meetings with the academic staffs/students if required. 1.6 Industry Advisory Board The engineering schools have set up an Industrial Advisory Board for all offered engineering programmes and various meetings have and will be conducted from time to time. Each school has appointed prominent members from the industry and relevant institutions to be in the Advisory Board. The Industrial Advisory Board members will discuss and give their input on the Industrial Training; Outcome Based Education (OBE) implementation, curriculum development, the requirement of soft skills and other relevant issues to the School to improve the quality of programmes and graduates. 1.7 Industry and Community Network To foster closer, effective, meaningful and sustainable linkages and partnership with the industry and the community, i.e. the world outside Universiti Sains Malaysia, a new division, the Division of Industry & Community Network was established within the Chancellery in September This new division is headed by a Deputy Vice Chancellor (Industry and Community Network). The function of this division is to match between the knowledge/expertise, facilities and resources of the university to the needs, aspirations and expectations of the industry and the community to result in a win-win situation. 1.8 Stakeholder In line with the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) requirements for involvement of stakeholders in establishing the programme educational objectives, their inputs have been continuously gathered from surveys and direct communications. The University has identified the stakeholders as follows: Academic Staffs (University) Employers (industry and government) Alumni Students Parents 5

11 1.9 Teaching Delivery Method Other contributing components to the curriculum such as a variety of teaching and learning (delivery) modes, assessment and evaluation methods are designed, planned and incorporated within the curriculum to enable students to effectively develop the range of intellectual and practical skills, as well as positive attitudes. The assessments to evaluate the degree of the achievement of the Programme Outcomes by the students are done both at the programme as well as at course levels. The teaching and learning methods designed enable students to take full responsibility for their own learning and prepare themselves for lifelong learning and knowledge acquisition. 6

14 1.12 Courses Offering Students are required to register for the undergraduate courses in two semesters for each academic session that is Semester 1 and Semester 2. Courses are offered and examined in the same semester. Courses offered are categorized into four levels, via levels 100, 200, 300 and 400, suitable to the requirements of a four-year study programme. Core Courses Core course is a compulsory course package which aims at giving a deeper understanding of an area of specialization major. Students need to accumulate 108 units of the core courses which have been identified by each school. Elective Courses Students who do not choose a Minor area are required to take Elective courses. Students need to accumulate no less than 12 units from the list of courses suggested and acknowledged by the school. Optional Courses Optional courses are courses chosen by the students from among those that are outside of their programmes of study. The main objective of an Optional course is as a substitute course for students who do not take Co-curriculum courses or Skill/Analysis courses. Audit Courses In principle, the university allows students to register for any courses on an audit basis for the purpose of enhancing the students knowledge in specific fields during the duration of their study. However, the units of any such audit courses will not be taken into consideration for graduation purposes. The registration procedures for courses on an audit basis are as follows:- (a) (b) Students can register for courses on an audit basis for the purpose of augmenting his/her knowledge in specific fields. Registration for the said course must be within the course registration week. Only students of active status are allowed to register for courses on an audit basis. 9

15 (c) (d) (e) Courses registered for on an audit basis are designated as code Y courses. This designation will be indicated on the relevant academic transcript. A space at the bottom of the academic transcript will be reserved for listing the courses registered for on an audit basis. Courses registered for on an audit basis will not be taken into consideration in determining the minimum and maximum units of courses registered for. Students must fulfil all course requirements. Student who register for courses on an audit basis, are not obligated to sit for any examinations pertaining to that course. A grade R will be awarded irrespective as to whether the student had or had not sat for the examination. Laboratory Work/Practical, Engineering Practice and Industrial Training Programmes in the School of Engineering place a great emphasis on laboratory work/practical. Laboratory work/practical is an important and essential aspect in most courses. There are also courses that the assessment is based on 100% works in laboratory work/practical. It aims to provide students with a better understanding of the subject matter delivered through lectures. Students are required to submit laboratory/practical reports which are part of the course work assessment for courses delivered through lectures and the laboratory/practical component only. Attendance is compulsory for all levels of study and students may be barred from taking the written examination if their attendance is unsatisfactory. Apart from attending classes (lectures and laboratory/practical), students must also undergo the Engineering Practice Course and Industrial Training. General Objectives of Engineering Practice (a) To expose to the students about the importance and the link between the theoretical and practical aspects of engineering, and to familiarise them with the environment/theoretical situations in use, available resources and their scarcity so that the academic aspects of a course can be understood better and used more effectively. (b) To raise awareness of the environment/industrial situations, practices, resources and their scarcity. Therefore, students will have the opportunity to equip themselves to face future challenges in their academic studies as well as in their future training. The Engineering Practice will be conducted in the following manner: The training will be conducted on and off campus. There are two levels which are compulsory for all engineering students: 10

16 (ii) Engineering Practice Course The Engineering Practice Course is a basic training course on mechanical, manufacturing and electrical engineering. The training includes engineering workshops, introduction to manufacturing processes and electrical circuit. Engineering students will also be exposed to methods of engineering planning and project implementation. The duration of the training is 14 weeks and during this period, students will be supervised by the academic staff on duty. (ii) Industrial Training This course is conducted over 10 weeks during the long break after Semester II at level 300. Students are exposed to the actual operations of industries, locally and abroad. It is hoped that students will be able to learn and experience useful knowledge and skills while undergoing training as they have already taken the Engineering Practice Course. It is hoped that the training will provide students with a good foundation in engineering. This is a 5-unit course and students will be awarded a Pass/Fail grade upon completion 11

23 Course Registration Confirmation Slip Course registration confirmation slip that has been printed / obtained after registering the course should be checked carefully to ensure no errors, especially the code type of the registered course codes. Any data errors for course registration must be corrected immediately whether during the period of E-Daftar (for student with active status only) or during the period of OCR at the Schools Revising and Updating Data / Information / Students Personal and Academic Records Personal and academic information for each student can be checked through the Campus Online portal (campusonline.usm.my). Students are advised to always check all the information displayed on this website. - Any application / notification for correction / updating of personal data such as the spelling of names (names must be spelled as shown on the Identification Card), Identification Card number and address (permanent address and correspondence address) must be notified to the office of the Student Data & Records Section. - Any application / notification for correction of academic data such as information on Major, Minor, MUET result and the course code should be reported to the office of the Student Data & Records Section. - Application / notification for correction of the examination/results data should be reported to the office of the Examination and Graduation Section Academic Advisor Each School will appoint an Academic Advisor for each student. Academic Advisors are comprised of academic staff (lecturers). Normally, confirmation from Academic Advisors will be made known to every student during the first semester in the first year of their studies. Academic Advisors will advice the students under their responsibility on the academic-related matters. Among the important advice for the student is the registration planning for certain courses in each semester during the study period. Before registering the course, students are advised to consult and discuss with their Academic Advisor to determine the courses to be registered in a semester. 18

24 Final year students are advised to consult their respective academic advisors before registering via E-Daftar to ensure they fulfil the graduation requirements. Students under the Probation status (P1/P2) should obtain the approval from the Academic Advisor before they register for courses in a semester through OCR at the School and they are not allowed to register through E-Daftar. 2.2 Interpretation of Unit/Credit a) Unit Each course is given a value, which is called a UNIT. The unit is determined by the scope of its syllabus and the workload for the students. In general, a unit is defined as follows: Type of Course Theory Practical/Laboratory Language Proficiency Industrial Training/ Teaching Practice Definition of Unit 1 unit is equivalent to 1 contact hour per week for weeks in one semester. 1 unit is equivalent to 1.5 contact hours per week for hours in one semester 1 unit is equivalent to 1.5 contact hours per week for weeks in one semester. 1 unit is equivalent to 2 weeks of training. b) Contact Contact is defined as formal face-to-face meeting between an academic staff and his/her students and it may take the form of lectures, tutorials, seminar, laboratory and field work. c) Accumulated Credit Unit Units registered and passed are known as credits. To graduate, students must accumulate the total number of credits stipulated for the program concerned. 2.3 Examination System Examination would be held at the end of every semester. Students have to sit for the examination of the courses they have registered. Students are required to settle all due fees and fulfil the standing requirements for lectures/tutorials/practical and other requirements before being allowed to sit for the examination of courses they registered. Course evaluation will be based on the two components of coursework and final examinations. Coursework 19

25 evaluation includes tests, essays, projects, assignments and participation in tutorials. Duration of Examination Evaluated Courses Examination Duration 2 units 1 hour for coursework of more than 40% 2 units 2 hours for coursework of 40% and below 3 units or more 2 hours for coursework of more than 40% 3 units or more 3 hours for coursework of 40% and below Barring from Examination Students will be barred from sitting the final examination if they do not satisfy the course requirements, such as absence from lectures and tutorials for at least 70%, and have not completed/fulfilled the required components of coursework. Students will also be barred from sitting the final examination if they have not settled the academic fees. A grade 'X' would be awarded for a course in which a student is barred. Students will not be allowed repeating the course during Course during the Long Vacation (KSCP). Grade Point Average System Student academic achievement for registered courses will be graded as follows: Alphabetic Grade Grade Points A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D+ D D- F Students awarded with grade 'C-' and below for a particular course would be given a chance to improve their grades by repeating the course during the KSCP (See below) or normal semester. Students awarded with grade 'C' and above for a particular course will not be allowed to repeat the course whether during KSCP or normal semester. The achievements of students in any semester are based on Grade Point Average (GPA) achieved from all the registered courses in a particular semester. GPA is the indicator to determine the academic performance of students in any semester. CGPA is the Cumulative Grade Point Average accumulated by a student from one semester to another during the years of study. 20

26 The formula to compute GPA and CGPA is as follows: n Ui Mi Grade Point Average = i=1 n Ui i=1 where n = Number of courses taken Ui = Course units for course i Mi = Grade point for course i Example of calculation for GPA and CGPA: Course Unit Grade Point (GP) Grade (G ) Total GP Semester I ABC XX B GPA = = ABC XX C BCDXX C CDEXX C 8.00 EFGXX D EFGXX B Semester II Course Unit Grade Point (GP) Grade (G ) Total GP ABCXX D 3.00 ABBXX C BBCXX C 8.00 BCBX B XYZXX B

27 GPA = = CGPA = Total Accumulated GP Total Accumulated Unit = = 38 = 2.23 From the above examples, the CGPA is calculated as the total grade point accumulated for all the registered courses and divided by the total number of the registered units. Courses During the Long Vacation (Kursus Semasa Cuti Panjang) (KSCP) KSCP is offered to students who have taken a course earlier and obtained a grade of 'C-', 'D+', 'D', 'D-', 'F' and 'DK' only. Students who have obtained 'X' or 'F*' grade are not allowed to take the course during KSCP. The purpose of KSCP is to: i) Give an opportunity to students who are facing time constraints for graduation. ii) Assist students who need to accumulate a few more credits for graduation. iii) Assist "probationary" students to enhance their academic status. iv) Assist students who need to repeat a prerequisite course, which is not offered in the following semester. However, this opportunity is only given to students who are taking courses that they have attempted before and achieved a grade as stipulated above, provided that the course is being offered. Priority is given to the final year students. Usually, formal lectures are not held, and teaching is via tutorials. The duration of KSCP is 3 weeks, i.e. 2 weeks of tutorial and 1 week of examination, all held during the long vacation. The KSCP schedule is available in the University's Academic Calendar. The Implementation KSCP a) Students are allowed to register a maximum of 3 courses and the total number of units registered must not exceed 10. b) Marks/grades for coursework are taken from the highest marks/the best grades obtained in a particular course in the normal semester before KSCP. The final overall grade is determined as follows: Final Grade = The best coursework marks or grade + Marks or grade for KSCP examination 22

28 c) GPA calculation involves the LATEST grades (obtained in KSCP) and also involves courses taken in the second semester and those repeated in KSCP. If the GPA during KSCP as calculated above is 2.00 or better, the academic status will be active, even though the academic status for the second semester was on probation status. However, if the GPA for KSCP (as calculated above) is 1.99 or below, the academic status will remain as probation status for the second semester. d) Graduating students (those who have fulfilled the graduation requirements) in the second semester are not allowed to register for KSCP. Academic Status Active Status: Any student who achieves a GPA of 2.00 and above for any examination in a semester will be recognised as ACTIVE and be allowed to pursue his/her studies for the following semester. Probation Status: A probation status is given to any student who achieves a GPA of 1.99 and below. A student who is under probation status for three consecutive semesters (P1, P2, FO) will not be allowed to pursue his/her studies at the university. On the other hand, if the CGPA is 2.00 and above, the student concerned will be allowed to pursue his/her studies and will be maintained at P2 status. Without any prejudice to the above regulations, the University Examination Council has the absolute right to terminate any student's studies if his/her academic achievement do not satisfy and fulfil the accumulated minimum credit in line with the number of semesters completed by the student as given in the table below. Total Accumulated Minimum Number of Semesters Credit Units Pure Applied Professional End of 2 nd semester End of 4 th semester End of 6 th semester End of 8 th semester The University Examination Council has the right to terminate any student's studies due to certain reasons (a student who has not registered for the courses, has not attended examination without valid reasons), as well as medical reasons can be disqualified from pursuing his/her studies. 23

29 Examination Result A provisional result (pass/fail) through the Tele-academic line: ( ), Campus Online Portal and short message service (SMS) will usually be released and announced after the School Examination Council meeting and presumably one month after final examination. Full result (grade) can be enquired through the Tele-academic line: ( ), Campus Online Portal and short message service (SMS) will be released and announced after the University Examination Council meeting and is usually two weeks after the provisional results are released. The official semester results (SEMGRED) will be issued to students during the second week of the following semester. 2.4 Unit Exemption/Credit Transfer Definition of Unit Exemption Unit exemption is defined as the total number of units given to students who are pursuing their studies in USM that are exempted from the graduation requirements. Students only need to accumulate the remaining units for graduating purpose. Only passes or course grades accumulated or acquired in USM will be included in the calculation of the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for graduation purpose. Regulations and Implementation of Unit Exemption a) Diploma holders from recognised Public and Private Institutions of Higher Learning: i) Unit exemption can only be given to courses taken at diploma level. ii) Courses for unit exemption may be combined (in two or more combinations) in order to obtain exemption of one course at degree level. However if the School would like to approve only one course at the diploma level for unit exemption of one course at degree level, the course at diploma level must be equivalent to the degree course and has the same or more units. iii) Courses taken during employment (in service) for diploma holders cannot be considered for unit exemption. iv) The minimum achievement at diploma level that can be considered for unit exemption is at least 'C' grade or 2.0 or equivalent. 24

30 v) The total number of semesters exempted should not exceed two semesters. vi) In order to obtain unit exemption for industrial training, a student must have work experience continuously for at least two years in the area. If the student has undergone industrial training during the diploma level study, a student must have work experience for at least one year. The students are also required to produce the report on the level and type of work performed. Industrial training unit exemption cannot be considered for semester exemption as the industrial training is carried out during the long vacation in USM. vii) Unit exemption for university and option courses can only be given for courses such as Bahasa Malaysia (LKM400), English Language, Islamic and Asian Civilisations and as well as co-curriculum. b) IPTS (Private Institution of Higher Learning) USM Supervised/External Diploma Graduates i) Students who are IPTS USM supervised/external diploma graduates are given unit exemption as stipulated by the specific programme of study. Normally, unit exemption in this category is given as a block according to the agreement between USM (through School that offers the programme) with the IPTS. c) Students from recognised local or foreign IPTA (Public Institution of Higher Learning)/IPTS who are studying at the Bachelor Degree level may apply to study in this university and if successful, can be considered for unit exemptions subject to the following conditions: i) Courses taken in the previous IPT are equivalent (at least 50% of the course must be the same) with courses offered in USM. ii) Students taking courses at advanced diploma level in IPT that is recognised to be equivalent to the Bachelor Degree course at USM may be considered for unit exemption as in c) i). iii) The total maximum unit exemption allowed should not exceed one third of the total unit requirement for graduation. Total Number of Exempted Semesters Semester exemption is based on the total unit exempted as below:- 25

31 Total Unit Exempted Total Semester Exempted < >32 2 Application Procedure for Unit Exemption Any student who would like to apply for exemption unit is required to complete the Unit Exemption Form which can be obtained at the counter of Admission and Enrolments Unit or the respective schools. The form must to be approved by the Dean/Deputy Dean of the School prior to the submission to the Admission and Enrolments Unit for consideration. Definition of Credit Transfer Credit transfer is defined as the recognition of a total number of credits obtained by USM students taking courses in other IPTA (Public Institution of Higher Learning) within the period of study at USM, and is combined with credits obtained at USM to fulfil units requirement for his/her programme of study. The transferred examination result or grades obtained in courses taken at other IPTA will be combined in the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) calculation. Category of Students Who Can Be Considered for Credit Transfer USM full-time Bachelor Degree level students who would like to attend specific Bachelor Degree level courses at other IPTA. USM full-time diploma level students who would like to attend specific diploma level courses at other IPTA. Conditions a) Basic and Core Courses i) Credit transfer can only be considered for credits obtained from other courses in other IPTA that are equivalent (at least 50% of the content are the same) with the courses offered by the programme. ii) Courses that can be transferred are only courses that have the same number of units or more. For equivalent courses but with less number of units, credit transfers can be approved by combining a few courses. Credits transferred are the same as the course units as offered in USM. Average grade of the combined course will be taken into account in CGPA calculation. 26

32 b) Elective or Option Courses i) Students may attend any appropriate courses in other IPTA subject to permission from the School as well as the approval of other IPTA. ii) The transferred credits are credits obtained from courses at other IPTA. No course equivalence condition is required. c) Minor Courses i) For credit transfer of minor courses, the School should adhere to either conditions (a) or (b), and take into account of the programme requirement. d) The total maximum units transferred should not exceed one third of the total number of units for the programme. e) Credit exemption from other IPTA can be considered only once for each IPTA. f) The examination results obtained by a student taken at other IPTA will be taken into account for graduation purpose. Grade obtained for each course will be combined with the grades obtained at USM for CGPA calculation. g) Students who have applied and approved for credit transfer are not allowed to cancel the approval after the examination result is obtained. h) Students are required to register courses at other IPTA with not less than the total minimum units as well as not exceeding the maximum units as stipulated in their programme of study. However, for specific cases (e.g. students on extended semester and only require a few units for graduation), the Dean may approve such students to register less than the minimum and the semester will not be counted in the residential requirement. In this case, the CGPA calculation will be carried out as in KSCP. i) USM students attending courses at other IPTA and if failed in any courses are allowed to resit the examination if there is such provision in that IPTA. j) If the method of calculation of examination marks in the other IPTA is not the same as in USM, a grade conversion method will be carried out according to the existing scales. k) USM students who have registered courses at other IPTA and decided to return to study in USM, must adhere to the existing course registration conditions in USM. 27

33 Application Procedure for Attending Courses/Credit Transfer USM students who would like to attend courses/credit transfer at other IPTAs should apply using Unit Exemption Form. The application form should be submitted for the Dean's approval for the programme of study within three months before the application is submitted to other IPTA for consideration. 2.5 Academic Integrity "Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless. Knowledge without integrity is dangerous and weak" Samuel Johnson Being a student of the University Sains Malaysia requires a firm adherence to the basic values, integrity, purpose and meaning of a university education. The most essential values in academia are rooted on the principles of truth seeking in knowledge and honesty with regards to the intellectual property of oneself and of others. Thus, students must bear the responsibility of maintaining these principles in all work done in their academic endeavour. Academic dishonesty violates the fundamental purpose of preserving and maintaining the integrity of university education and will not be tolerated. The following, although not exhaustive, are examples of practices or actions that are considered dishonest acts in academic pursuit. (a) Cheating Cheating is the unauthorised use of information or other aids in any academic exercise. There are numerous "infamous" ways and methods of cheating including: Copying from others during a test or an exam. Using unauthorised materials or devices (calculator, PDA, mobile phone, pager, etc.) during a test or an exam. Asking or allowing another student to take a test or an exam for you and vice-versa. Sharing answers or programmes for an assignment or project. Tampering with marked/graded work after it has been returned, then resubmitting it for remarking/regrading. Allowing others to do the research, writing, programming, or other types of assignment. Submitting identical or similar work in more than one course without consulting or prior permission from the lecturers involved. 28

34 Below is an excerpt from the University and University College Act 1971, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Discipline of Students, Rule 1999 regarding conduct during examination (Part II, Provision 8): Conduct during examination 8. No student can- (a) take any form of books, worksheets, documents, pictures or any other materials, other than those authorised by the examiner, into or out of any examination room, or receive any form of books, worksheets, documents, pictures or any other materials from outsiders when in examination room. Students can receive any form of books, worksheets, documents, pictures or any other materials recommended by the examiner or the Board of Examiners, and authorized by the Vice-Chancellor (b) write, or have somebody else to write, any information or to draw diagrams which can be related to the examination taken by the student, on any parts of the body, or on the clothing s worn by the student. (c) contact with other students during an examination through any form of communication, or (d) cheat or try to cheat or act in any way that can be interpreted as cheating. (b) Plagiarism Plagiarism is "academic theft". It violates the intellectual property rights of the author. Simply put, it is the use, in part or whole, of other's words or ideas and claiming it as yours without proper attribution to the original author. It includes: Copying and pasting information, graphics or media from the Internet into your work without citing the source. Paraphrasing or summarising other's written or spoken words that are not common knowledge, without referencing the source. Not putting quote marks around parts of the source that you copy exactly. Using someone else's work or acquiring papers, assignment, project or research you did not do and turning it in as if you had done the work yourself. Giving incorrect information about the source of reference. Not acknowledging collaborators in an assignment, paper, project or research. 29

35 Plagiarism is, however, often misunderstood. There are numerous sources in the Internet that describe plagiarism and explain acceptable ways for using borrowed words. Students should explore the relevant materials. Below is an excerpt from the University and University College Act 1971, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Discipline of Students, Rule 1999 regarding prohibition against plagiarism (Part II, Provision 6): Prohibitions against plagiarism 6. (1) A student shall not plagiarise any idea, writing, data or invention belonging to another person. (2) For the purpose of this rule, plagiarism includes: (a) the act of taking an idea, writing, data or invention of another person and claiming that the idea, writing, data or invention is the result of one's own findings or creation; or (b) an attempt to make out or the act of making out, in such a way, that one is the original source or the creator of an idea, writing, data or invention which has actually been taken from some other source. (3) Without prejudice to the generality of sub rule (2), a student plagiarises when he/she: (a) publishes, with himself/herself as the author, an abstract, article, scientific or academic paper, or book which is wholly or partly written by some other person; (b) incorporates himself/herself or allows himself/herself to be incorporated as a co-author of an abstract, article, scientific or academic paper, or book, when he/she has not at all made any written contribution to the abstract, article, scientific or academic paper, or book; (c) forces another person to include his/her name in the list of coresearchers for a particular research project or in the list of co-authors for a publication when he/she has not made any contribution which may qualify him/her as a co-researcher or co-author; (d) extract academic data which are the result of research undertaken by some other person, such as laboratory findings or field work findings or data obtained through library research, whether published or unpublished, and incorporate those data as part of his/her academic research without giving due acknowledgement to the actual source; (e) uses research data obtained through collaborative work with 30

36 (c) Fabrication some other person, whether or not that other person is a staff member or a student of the University, as part of another distinct personal academic research of his/her, or for a publication In his/her own name as sole author, without obtaining the consent of his/her co-researchers prior to embarking on his/her personal research or prior to publishing the data; (f) transcribes the ideas or creations of others kept in whatever form, whether written, printed or available in electronic form, or in slide form, or in whatever form of teaching or research apparatus, or in any other form, and claims whether directly or indirectly that he/she is the creator of that idea or creation; (g) translates the writing or creation of another person from one language to another whether or not wholly or partly, and subsequently presents the translation in whatever form or manner as his/her own writing or creation; or (h) extracts ideas from another person's writing or creation and makes certain modifications without due reference to the original source and rearranges them in such a way that it appears as if he/she is the creator of those ideas. Unauthorised invention, alteration, falsification or misleading use of data, information or citation in any academic work constitutes fabrication. Fabricated information neither represent the student's own effort nor the truth concerning a particular investigation or study thus violates the principle of truth seeking in knowledge. Some examples are: Making up or changing of data or result, or using someone else's result, in an experiment, assignment or research. Citing sources that are not actually used or referred to. Intentional listing of incorrect or fictitious references. Falsifying of academic records or documents to gain academic advantage. Forging signatures of authorisation in any academic record or other university document. (d) Collusion The School does not differentiate between those who commit an act of academic dishonesty with those who knowingly allow or help others in performing those acts. Some examples of collusion include: Paying, bribing or allowing someone to do an assignment, test/exam, project or research for you. 31

37 Doing or assisting others in an assignment, test/exam, project or research for something in return. Permitting your work to be submitted as the work of others. Providing material, information, or sources to others knowing that such aids could be used in any dishonest act. (e) Unfair Advantage A student may obtain an unfair advantage over another, which is also a breach of academic integrity, in several ways including: Gaining access to, stealing, reproducing or circulating of test or exam material prior to its authorised time. Depriving others of the use of library material by stealing, defacing, destroying or hiding it. Intentionally interfering with other's effort to do their academic work. Altering or destroying work or computer files/programmes that belong to others or those that are meant for the whole class. (f) Consequences of Violating Academic Integrity Both students and academic staff must assume the responsibility of protecting and upholding the academic integrity of the university. In the event that a student encounters any incident that denotes academic dishonesty, the student is expected to report it to the relevant lecturer. The lecturer is then responsible to substantiate the violation and is encouraged to confront the perpetrator(s) to discuss the facts surrounding the allegation, and report the matter to the Deputy Deans or the Dean of the School. If the lecturer found that the student is guilty, an appropriate punitive grading may be applied, depending on the extent of the violation. Examples of punitive grading are giving lower grade or "F" on the assignment, test, project, or lower grade or "F" for the whole course. If the violation is deemed serious by the lecturer, the matter will be brought to the attention of the University Disciplinary Authority where appropriate action will be taken. If a student is caught in an examination, the University Examination Board will pursue the matter according to the university's procedure. The consequence then may range from a warning, fine not exceeding RM200, exclusion from any specific part or parts of the University for a specified period, suspension from being a student of the University for a specified period, or expulsion from the University (University and University College Act 1971, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Discipline of Students, Rule 1999). 32

38 Below is an excerpt from the University and University College Act 1971, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Discipline of Students, Rule 1999 regarding Disciplinary Punishment (Part II, Provision 48): Disciplinary punishment 48. A student who commits a disciplinary offense under these Rules and found guilty of the offense can be punished according to any one or any two or more of the following appropriate actions; (a) warning; (b) fine not more than two hundred ringgit; (c) banned from entering any or certain premises of the University for a specified period; (d) suspended from being a student of the University for a specified period; (e) dismissed from the University 2.6 USM Mentor Programme Mentor Programme acts as a support-aid that involves the staff undergoing special training as a consultant and guide to USM community who would like to share their feelings and any psychosocial aspects that could harm their social functions.

39 2.7 Student Exchange Programme (a) Study Abroad Scheme The student exchange programme is an opportunity for USM students to study one or two semesters abroad at any USM partners institutions. Ideally, students are encouraged to participate in the exchange programme within their third to fifth semester (3 years degree programme) and within third to seventh semester (4 years degree programme). Studies abroad are planned beforehand with the Dean or Deputy Dean of the respective School, and with the International Office. Credits earned at an associate university are transferable as a part of credit accumulation for graduation. (b) Student Exchange Programme between Local Higher Education Institutions (RPPIPT) This is a programme that allows students of public higher learning institutions to do an exchange programme for a semester between the public higher institutions itself. Students can choose any relevant courses and apply for credit transfers. For more information, please visit or contact the Academic Collaboration Unit, International Office at /
