MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN, COLLEGE OF FOUNDATION & DIPLOMA STUDIES
Welcome and congratulations to all new students of College of Foundation and Diploma Studies (CFDS). We take great pride for
being chosen as the choice of university to pursue your tertiary studies. We assure you that we are committed to delivering a
unique learning experience in realizing your dreams.
CFDS, the second largest of the three colleges in UNITEN, had its beginning on 1st April 2011, when the foundation programmes
from the College of Engineering, the College of Information Technology, and the College of Business Management and Accounting
merged with the Institute of Liberal Studies. The college was formed based on the commitment of the University to provide high
quality and innovative foundation programmes to our young generation who have just stepped out of secondary school. As our
students are young and vibrant, we strongly believe that we have a role to play in moulding and refining their hidden potential.
Here at CFDS, is the essential starting point to prepare our students for the challenging student life in the degrees programmes
academically, physically, mentally and emotionally. Our Foundation programmes include a comprehensive coverage of disciplines
in the areas of engineering, information technology, business management, accounting, and general studies. Holistically, we care
about our students’ self-development by integrating education tradition with academic services programme that consists of two
sub-programmes, namely i) Personal Enrichment & Empowerment Programme (PEEP), and ii) Guidance & Counselling Unit. By
joining PEEP, students have the opportunity to further cultivate their study skills, thinking skills, and interpersonal skills. The latter
programme empowers and enriches the students’ potential through a special needs programme, guidance and counseling, and
workshops.
This handbook is to facilitate you in reaping the most out of this inspiring college environment. It aims to familiarize you with the: i)
programmes offered by CFDS, ii) required courses, iii) distribution of the course, iv) college management committee, v) general
details of the faculty members, vi) course descriptions, and vii) academic guidelines.
Last but not least, we wish you all the best in unlocking your potential to its fullest and in realizing your dreams.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Abu Bakar bin Hj Musa,
Dean, College of Foundation & Diploma Studies

1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to our College of Foundation & Diploma Studies, newly launched on 1 April 2011. The College of Foundation
& Diploma Studies consist of 6 distinct department. They are Department of Engineering, Department of Sciences and
Mathematics, Department of Computing and Department of Languages and Social Sciences.
The Objective of the College of Foundation & Diploma Studies is to prepare the pathway for students into the various
bachelor degree program offered in the university. Since June 2003, Universiti Tenaga Nasional has been accepting
applicants with Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) qualification or its equivalent, into one-year Foundation programme.
Students who complete the Foundation programme successfully will be able to pursue further studies in the appropriate
Degree (Honours) programmes. The Foundation programmes provide a comprehensive and proper coverage of
disciplines the equips students for entrance into UNITEN, and also other universities in Malaysia.
Foundation in Engineering (Offered at Putrajaya Campus)
 Electrical and Electronics
 Electrical Power
 Mechanical
 Civil
Foundation in Information Technology (Offered at Putrajaya Campus)
 Computer Science
 Information Technology
1.2
Department of Engineering (Uniten Putrajaya)
The Department of Engineering offers courses leading to the award of;
 Diploma in Mechanical Engineering
 Diploma in Electrical Engineering
These programs are designed to prepare students for professional careers and to further their studies to Bachelor Degree in the
related engineering field. The department strives to provide quality education to prepare students for positions in industry,
commerce and academic. The comprehensive and innovative content and teaching techniques adopted are designed towards
expanding the frontiers of learning and inculcating a probing mind. Students will be challenged to develop into multi-skilled
professionals possessing mental, intellectual and emotional fortitude to succeed in life.
The curricula, further enhanced with project work, lab experiments and practical training, are designed with inputs from the several
reputable sources. The emphasis is towards producing professionals to fulfil the needs of industry and commerce in particular and
the nation in general.
The two engineering programs provide a strong foundation in respective the engineering field, Electrical Engineering (EE) or
Mechanical Engineering (ME) with a well-established balance between theory and experiments during the two and half years of
3
study. The curriculum consists of a good mix of general subjects as well as core engineering subjects. A total of 91 credit hours of
subjects being taught in five semesters and on average there are 5 - 6 subjects per semester being taught.
The engineering courses begin in the second semester of the first year of studies. For the Mechanical Engineering programme
among of the courses are Manufacturing Process, Mechanics - Statics, Thermodynamics, Engineering Graphics, Mechanics of
Materials, Mechanical Design and Power Plant Engineering. The programmes are complemented by laboratory works such as
Manufacturing Process lab, Mechanics of Materials lab and Instrumentation and Control lab
For the Electrical Engineering programme the topics include electrical circuits, electronics, digital logic, introduction to
microcontroller, electrical machinery, power electronics and electrical power system. In addition to these topics, students will also
be exposed to specialized topics such as engineering graphics & computer application and industrial automation. Laboratory works
which include electrical measurement techniques, application of non-linear devices, digital logic design, microcontroller, and
electrical machines are intended to reinforce the principles obtained in the classroom.
The programme also encompasses a compulsory Industrial Training attachment for a period of not less than 12 weeks. The idea of
this attachment is to enable students to gain first-hand experience in industry as well as an insight to how theory are put to practice
in the real engineering situations. This short attachment in industry is beneficial as it provides the intellectual challenge to students.
1.3
Department of Sciences and Mathematics (Uniten Putrajaya)
The Department of Sciences and Mathematics provides courses in fundamental sciences and mathematics to students of
Foundation Program of Engineering of the College of Foundation and General Studies. The outline of these courses in
mathematics, physics and chemistry are designed to ensure that the students are well equipped with strong essential knowledge
