ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING (BFC 32403)

SEMESTER II 2013/2014

Project Requirement

Project aim:

Excursion/field trip is a feature of this project. Through the real case study, the students are capable to explain the treatment processes, recognizing and evaluating environmental problems. Thus, they are able to select and suggest an appropriate (eco-friendly and energy saving) technology taking into account specific conditions of the location. Students also can integrate theory learn from the classroom and synthesizing the environmental issues in broad and sensitive ways.

List of topics:

The case study must be chosen per group and it should be related to treatment plant agencies, environmental agencies and industries.

Following are the scope of places for your Project Works:

  1. Wastewater Treatment Plant (eg: IWK Taman Bukit Perdana, Kluang, Melaka, Johor Bahru, etc)
  2. Water Supply Treatment Plant (eg: Loji Rawatan Air Sri Gading, Parit Raja, Semberong, Semanggar, etc)
  3. Sanitary Landfill (eg: Southern Waste Kluang, Simpang Renggam, Seelong, Kulai, Southern Waste Melaka, etc)
  4. Food Processing Industry ( eg: Cocomo Sdn. Bhd., Snekku, Miaw Miaw etc)
  5. IKS Industry (eg: Wan Malinja Food Ind., Azhar Food Ind., etc
  6. Textile Industry (eg: Sincerely Dyeing, Ramatex, Southtex, Bin Bin Knitwear, etc)
  7. Manufacturer Industry (eg: Soon Lee Furniture, KBF Furniture etc, Kimberly Clark Sdn. Bhd., etc)
  8. Hazardous Waste Management (eg. Kualiti Alam Sdn. Bhd., Pantai Medivest Sdn. Bhd., etc)
  9. Restaurants and food court (eg: BP Mall food court, Kompleks Parit Raja, R&R, McD, KFC, Mamak, etc)
  10. Recycle Industry ( Southern Waste Melaka, Recycle Energy Sdn. Bhd., Pusat Perolehan Semula Sisa Pepejal Majlis Perbandaran Kajang, Muda Paper Mills, Lembah Beringin Transfer Station, etc )

You must seek the approval from the case study’s admin for the trip arrangement. You are also need to provide them with a letter from the faculty for confirmation and clarification of the project. During the trip, you are also need to aware about do’s and don’ts highlighted by the company/industry.
