This paper describes a structured management on the implementation of a new syllabus of Final Year Project 2 (FYP 2) with new code: EEE368 for the diploma program of Electrical Engineering in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Terengganu. The objectives of developing this approach is to ensure the program is well organized and comprehensive, the accuracy of evaluation scheme is observed, fairness is guaranteed, the listed program outcomes are achieved as well as capable to enhance the students' soft skills. It starts with the assignment of a coordinator and establishing related committees. A schedule which includes all the important deadlines is prepared by the coordinator and distributed to the supervisors as well as students. All regulations are announced to the students during the first meeting and the guidelines are circulated among the supervisors. Workshops for technical writing and presentation skills are held to expose the students to the proper writing and presentation skills. Logbooks are written by students based on the format given and should be approved by their supervisors and will finally be audited by the coordinator monthly to observe their progress.
