This sem in short (I'm lazy...): Not bad but a bit of disappointment that my CAP fell again. I should have expected that, since my aim is to attain Bs. You know... how can Bs pull up CAP?

IE2100 Probability Models with Applications
Part one is about Discrete Time Markov Chain (DTMC) taught by Prof. Ng T.H.. Part two is Continuous-Time Markov Chain taught be Prof. W.B. Haskell.

Webcast >> No
Tutorial >> Yes
Graded assignments >> Yes

• Most students score full marks. The questions are taken from the textbook.

Mid-terms >> Yes

• Most students did better than me.

Finals >> Yes

• The practice papers are very useful to test your understanding.

I am not sure how other students find this module. IMOH, it was quite chill given the workload and my low expectation of myself. Ironically, there is also a time I felt lost and almost give up on studying for IE2100. That was when part two commenced and the idea of poisson process is totally new to me. If you find yourself in the same predicament, you may turn to online resources and the textbook for better understanding. Why not clarify with the prof? I already can't understand his lectures, better luck finding other sources for help.

IE2130 Quality Engineering I
Taught by Prof. Ang B.W.

Textbook is very useful. Final exams is very give chance la, mostly MCQs. However, there is no past year paper with the same format to practice. Just read textbook and make sure you can understand the concepts.

What i think i remember:
Statistical process control, control charts, Xbar-R chart, CP, Cpk, Acceptance sampling, Shewhart, gage R&R...


IE2150 Human Factors Engineering
Taught by Prof. Tham M.P. and Dr Soh B.K. (from DSO).

Group project, midterms, finals, checked.

I think this module does not have a fixed structure every year. For mine, the project is to study a self-sourced problem and apply HFE principles to try solve the problem.

The midterms was a disaster. We were told we will be tested by application questions but most questions were not. The questions are mostly looking for textbook answers. Finals was much better.
