Module Synopsis

Module 1: Engineering Mathematics 

The aim of this module is to develop the mathematics skills needed by the students to underpin the engineering. The students would learn the various statistical and analytical methods in analysing and solving problems. Upon completion of the module, the students would be able to apply various mathematical methods and statistical techniques to interpret the data and solve the engineering related problems.

Module 2: Principles and need of Facilities management 

The aim of this module is to develop skills in managing facility staff and corporate assets while minimizing risk exposure in the workplace. As the Facilities Management (FM) function continues to evolve, this training course offers the latest thinking in the profession, right balance between asset performance (functionality, availability, reliability, safety), and will tackle specific issues encountered on the ground and apply best practices in discussing real solutions.

Module 3: CAD and Simulation 

The aim of this course is to introduce students about the concepts and need of CAD designs and its related simulations. This module would be covering on 2D and 3D design theory, its concepts in a practical way . This module would be introducing CAD tool like AUTOCAD or SolidWorks and would go through the basic command on drawing 2D and 3D designs. The module would be covering the basic mathematical concepts needed for CAD based designs.

Module 4: Fundamentals of Electrical and Mechanical 

The course covers the basic of Electrical and Mechancial Design, 4 Key items and the basics Mechanical & Electrical components. The students would learn the design concepts, the need, applications interface of Electrical and Mechanical design. At the end of the course, the students would understand the various fundaments concepts in electrical and mechanicals design used in building and other application

Module 5: Facility Management Principles 

The aim of this course is to give a brief Introduction to Facilities Management. Every organisation relies on a mix of functions and services to provide the support essential to its core business operations. Ensuring that this support is available in the right form, at the right quality and for the right cost is the task of facilities management.

Module 6: Green and Sustainable Building Technology 

The aim of the module aims to examine how both buildings and services can be designed in an integrated way to minimise energy use with green building technology. This will become an increasingly important aspect of the work of engineers who will work in ever closer consultation with the architect, structural engineer and design team in the years ahead. A brief description of the different constructional methodologies are also discussed in the modules.

Module 7: Building Automation Technology 

The modules discuss about the various building automation technologies. The State-of-the-art smart buildings play a key role in the advanced power grids known as smart grids. By expertly combining building technology with energy transmission and distribution, smart grids can significantly improve energy efficiency while reducing greenhouse gas emissions with ground-breaking effect

Module 8: Risk Management and Business Continuity 

This topic would cover the Business continuity management and disaster recovery are about an organization being prepared for business disruption and taking the necessary actions to get the business operational as soon as possible after an incident occurs. This course provides a strong foundation in each area by looking at what business continuity management is, why it’s important and how it can be implemented within the overall risk management process, before reviewing the disaster recovery process.

Module  9: Workplace safety

The aim of this course is to give a detail insight of workplace safety in work environment Health and safety in the workplace is about measures designed to protect the health and safety of employees, visitors and the general public who may be affected by workplace activities. Safety measures are concerned with controlling and reducing risks to anyone who might be affected by these activities.

Module 10: Building Management systems

The aim of this module is to cove the basics and fundaments of Building management system, (BMS).The student would also learn the complete high technology information delivery system installed on buildings that monitors and controls a variety of systems and functions at an optimal level of efficiency to achieve maximum savings.

Module 11:  Energy Management and Audit

The module aims to provide a good understanding on Various energy audits and management which happens in a building and understands the types of audits. The topic also discusses about the Designing or retrofitting buildings to be energy-efficient and implementing tailor-made energy efficiency management plans which can result in substantial reductions in energy consumption and costs. The topic also covers the scope and thoroughness of an energy audit which depends on the audit model applied and on the available human and financial resources.

Module 12: Project

This module considers design of a complete project or system including establishment of objectives and criteria, formulation of the problem statements, preparation of specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations, and detailed engineering designs. The design should take into consideration appropriate constraints such as economic factors, safety, reliability, ethics and environmental and social impact. Oral presentation and submission of final written report of the design project are essential requirements for the completion of

Students can achieve the guided learning hours in combination of face to face classroom interactions, self study and group study as well as research work. They will be required to attend a certain number of lecture hours to support their studies, and will receive guidance to complete the learning hours.

FULL-TIME

• 12 Months

PART-TIME

• 12 Months

Upon completion of all 12 modules the Advanced Diploma in Facilities Management Certification will be awarded by BMC International College. The student must achieve atleast 90% attendance requirement per module.

All modules assessment is Examination and assignment based. Students are given assignment questions and must write examination at end of each module

Grades are awarded according to the following criteria

Assessment of students’ work will be carried out by a range of methods including essay examination, work assessment or assignment. Students’ work will be measured against the specified learning outcomes and assessment criteria of each unit. Mark schemes are provided for each unit and grading criteria are set out below to assist assessors in allocating marks.

Assessment results will be available to the students within 3 months upon completion of the last assessment for that assessment cycle. Appeal (if any) on assessment results must be lodged within 7 days after the release of assessment results.
