Most people mindset has been narrowed believing that non-engineering students won’t be able to carry or do well in an engineering subject. Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) is trying to change this mind set by allowing the non-engineering course to enroll in engineering course and vice versa. This paper discussed about two different non-engineering courses which come from the Faculty of Hotel and Tourism that took an engineering course. The two main courses were students from the Degree of Hotel Management (PHM240) and Degree of Culinary Arts (PHM245). The students must take Civil Engineering Materials subject as their elective subject. The subject was endorsed by Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) and has to go through a rigorous checking on question by an expert. The number of students who enrolled in this engineering course were 20 and 53 students from PHM240 and PHM245 respectively. All their achievements and results were then analysed by using i-RAS software. The findings shows that one of the hotel courses performed better especially on calculating part, nonetheless, no students were failed in this subject. The findings also can help future lecturer to equip themselves with necessary tools, explanations to ensure that the certain non-engineering students to do well in engineering course.
