INTRODUCTION TO FINAL YEAR PROJECT (FYP)

The final year project for any degree program at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA consists of two parts; namely FYP1 and FYP2 which are offered in a sequence of two semesters. The prime objective of these two courses is to inculcate problem solving, analysing, synthesizing and evaluation skills in the field of Electrical Engineering. Identification of project supervisor is done in semester 6 before students register for FYP1 with 1 credit hour, in the following semester. Upon successful completion of FYP1 modules, the students shall continue their project work by enrolling FYP2, a five-credit hour course in the eighth semester. The general course outcomes of FYP1 are as follows: Able to utilize technical information for solving research problems. Able to formulate problem statement and propose an appropriate methodology. c) Able to produce a proposal with good project planning.
a) b)

The general course outcomes of FYP2 are as follows: Able to solve research problem using appropriate techniques, tools, skills or algorithms. b) Able to design, analyse and evaluate research works. c) Able to defence and present project findings effectively. d) Able to write a good technical paper and final year project report

3.2.2.1

Technical Paper Evaluation

At the end of the semester, students are required to write a technical paper in enhancing students capability in technical writing based on their technical works. This activity would assist the students to report their work professionally according to a specific format and guidelines given by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Inc (Appendix G). The general requirement for the technical paper is as follows: a) b) c) d) The technical paper should strictly follow the IEEE two-column format. The technical paper is limited to a maximum of eight (8) pages. Page numbering should be done accordingly. The technical paper should represent the students actual work and findings. Technical Paper Presentation

3.2.2.2

The main objective of this activity is to give opportunity to the students to defense and present their work, findings and achievements of the project. Apart from that, the presentation would also assist the TPAP in clarifying any materials written in the technical paper from the students. On top of that, students will be evaluated based on their communication and presentation skills. Each student is given approximately 10-15 minutes to do their presentation followed by a 5-minute questions and answers session. Since the duration for the presentation is normally short, students are expected to 8|Page

organize their presentations effectively. Component features of a good presentation are elaborated in LM.UiTM.FKE(O).08/06 (Appendix F). 3.2.2.3 Student Progress Evaluation

Students are expected to meet their respective supervisors regularly to present their progress work. In addition, students are required to maintain their logbooks accordingly. Only students with satisfactory progress are allowed to submit their technical papers and final year project report. Component features to get satisfactory progress are elaborated in LM.UiTM.FKE(O).08/06 (Appendix F). 3.2.2.4 Final Year Project Report Evaluation

Students are required to present their complete project work in the form of well-structured report. The motive is to enhance students writing skill and it is popularly considered as the ultimate task in an undergraduate degree program. Component features of the writing techniques are elaborated in LM.UiTM.FKE(O).08/06 (Appendix F). Using the format and structure of the final year project report given in Appendix H, the general requirement is as follows: a) The report should be between 50 to 100 pages of A4 size. b) The report should be written in the prescribed format. c) The report should be bounded using black hard-cover binding. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS

The final year project is a core course designed for the final year degree students to acquire new knowledge and experience in project works not only related to Electrical Engineering but also to other related technical areas. This course is expected to provide the students with an informal training on the key elements of project management such as time management, research planning and scheduling, communication skills, problem solving and lifelong learning. Apart from that, this course will also help to prepare the students with necessary skills for pursuing a postgraduate degree in the future.

AbstractThis electronic document is a live template. The various components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] are already defined on the style sheet, as illustrated by the portions given in this document. DO NOT USE SPECIAL CHARACTERS, SYMBOLS, OR MATH IN YOUR TITLE OR ABSTRACT. (Abstract) Keywords-component; formatting; style; styling; insert (key words)

1 or Open Type fonts are preferred. Please embed symbol fonts, as well, for math, etc. III. EASE OF USE

I.

INTRODUCTION (HEADING 1)

A. Selecting a Template (Heading 2) First, confirm that you have the correct template for your paper size. This template has been tailored for output on the US-letter paper size. If you are using A4-sized paper, please close this template and download the file for A4 paper format called CPS_A4_format. B. Maintaining the Integrity of the Specifications The template is used to format your paper and style the text. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and text fonts are prescribed; please do not alter them. You may note peculiarities. For example, the head margin in this template measures proportionately more than is customary. This measurement and others are deliberate, using specifications that anticipate your paper as one part of the entire proceedings, and not as an independent document. Please do not revise any of the current designations. IV. PREPARE YOUR PAPER BEFORE STYLING

All manuscripts must be in English. These guidelines include complete descriptions of the fonts, spacing, and related information for producing your proceedings manuscripts. Please follow them and if you have any questions, direct them to the production editor in charge of your proceedings at Conference Publishing Services (CPS): Phone +1 (714) 821-8380 or Fax +1 (714) 761-1784. This template provides authors with most of the formatting specifications needed for preparing electronic versions of their papers. All standard paper components have been specified for three reasons: (1) ease of use when formatting individual papers, (2) automatic compliance to electronic requirements that facilitate the concurrent or later production of electronic products, and (3) conformity of style throughout a conference proceedings. Margins, column widths, line spacing, and type styles are built-in; examples of the type styles are provided throughout this document and are identified in italic type, within parentheses, following the example. PLEASE DO NOT RE-ADJUST THESE MARGINS. Some components, such as multi-leveled equations, graphics, and tables are not prescribed, although the various table text styles are provided. The formatter will need to create these components, incorporating the applicable criteria that follow. II. TYPE STYLE AND FONTS

Before you begin to format your paper, first write and save the content as a separate text file. Keep your text and graphic files separate until after the text has been formatted and styled. Do not use hard tabs, and limit use of hard returns to only one return at the end of a paragraph. Do not add any kind of pagination anywhere in the paper. Do not number text heads-the template will do that for you. Finally, complete content and organizational editing before formatting. Please take note of the following items when proofreading spelling and grammar: A. Abbreviations and Acronyms Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even after they have been defined in the abstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, sc, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title or heads unless they are unavoidable.

Wherever Times is specified, Times Roman or Times New Roman may be used. If neither is available on your word processor, please use the font closest in appearance to Times. Avoid using bit-mapped fonts if possible. True-Type

29 | P a g e

B. Units Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are encouraged.) English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of English units as identifiers in trade, such as 3.5-inch disk drive. Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each quantity that you use in an equation. Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units: Wb/m2 or webers per square meter, not webers/m2. Spell out units when they appear in text: . . . a few henries, not . . . a few H. Use a zero before decimal points: 0.25, not .25. C. Equations The equations are an exception to the prescribed specifications of this template. You will need to determine whether or not your equation should be typed using either the Times New Roman or the Symbol font (please no other font). To create multileveled equations, it may be necessary to treat the equation as a graphic and insert it into the text after your paper is styled. Number equations consecutively. Equation numbers, within parentheses, are to position flush right, as in (1), using a right tab stop. To make your equations more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use a long dash rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a sentence, as in

closing parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an inset, not an insert. The word alternatively is preferred to the word alternately (unless you really mean something that alternates). Do not use the word essentially to mean approximately or effectively. In your paper title, if the words that uses can accurately replace the word using, capitalize the u; if not, keep using lower-cased. Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones affect and effect, complement and compliment, discreet and discrete, principal and principle. Do not confuse imply and infer. The prefix non is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a hyphen. There is no period after the et in the Latin abbreviation et al.. The abbreviation i.e. means that is, and the abbreviation e.g. means for example. An excellent style manual for science writers is [7]. V. USING THE TEMPLATE

After the text edit has been completed, the paper is ready for the template. Duplicate the template file by using the Save As command, and use the naming convention prescribed by your conference for the name of your paper. In this newly created file, highlight all of the contents and import your prepared text file. You are now ready to style your paper.

A. Authors and Affiliations The template is designed so that author affiliations are + = . (1) not repeated each time for multiple authors of the same affiliation. Please keep your affiliations as succinct as possible (for example, do not differentiate among Note that the equation is centered using a center tab stop. departments of the same organization). This template was Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined designed for two affiliations. before or immediately following the equation. Use (1), not 1) For author/s of only one affiliation (Heading 3): To Eq.

30 | P a g e

h) Formatting: Insert one hard return immediately after the last character of the last affiliation line. Then paste the copy of affiliation 1. Repeat as necessary for each additional affiliation. i) Reassign number of columns: Place your cursor to the right of the last character of the last affiliation line of an even numbered affiliation (e.g., if there are five affiliations, place your cursor at end of fourth affiliation). Drag the cursor up to highlight all of the above author and affiliation lines. Go to Format > Columns and select 2 Columns. If you have an odd number of affiliations, the final affiliation will be centered on the page; all previous will be in two columns. B. Identify the Headings Headings, or heads, are organizational devices that guide the reader through your paper. There are two types: component heads and text heads. Component heads identify the different components of your paper and are not topically subordinate to each other. Examples include Acknowledgments and References and, for these, the correct style to use is Heading 5. Use figure caption for your Figure captions, and table head for your table title. Run-in heads, such as Abstract, will require you to apply a style (in this case, italic) in addition to the style provided by the drop down menu to differentiate the head from the text. Text heads organize the topics on a relational, hierarchical basis. For example, the paper title is the primary text head because all subsequent material relates and elaborates on this one topic. If there are two or more subtopics, the next level head (uppercase Roman numerals) should be used and, conversely, if there are not at least two sub-topics, then no subheads should be introduced. Styles named Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, and Heading 4 are prescribed. C. Figures and Tables 1) Positioning Figures and Tables: Place figures and tables at the top and bottom of columns. Avoid placing them in the middle of columns. Large figures and tables may span across both columns. Figure captions should be below the figures; table heads should appear above the tables. Insert figures and tables after they are cited in the text. Use the abbreviation Fig. 1, even at the beginning of a sentence.
TABLE I. Table Head copy TABLE TYPE STYLES Table Column Head
Table column subhead Subhead Subhead

Figure 1. Example of a ONE-COLUMN figure caption.

Please see last page of this document for AN EXAMPLE of a 2-COLUMN Figure. Figure Labels: Use 8 point Times New Roman for Figure labels. Use words rather than symbols or abbreviations when writing Figure axis labels to avoid confusing the reader. As an example, write the quantity Magnetization, or Magnetization, M, not just M. If including units in the label, present them within parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. In the example, write Magnetization (A/m) or Magnetization {A[m(1)]}, not just A/m. Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write Temperature (K), not Temperature/K. D. Footnotes Use footnotes sparingly (or not at all) and place them at the bottom of the column on the page on which they are referenced. Use Times 8-point type, single-spaced. To help your readers, avoid using footnotes altogether and include necessary peripheral observations in the text (within parentheses, if you prefer, as in this sentence). VI. COPYRIGHT FORMS AND REPRINT ORDERS

You must submit the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form (ECF) per Step 7 of the CPS author kits web page. THIS FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED IN ORDER TO PUBLISH YOUR PAPER. Please see Step 9 for ordering reprints of your paper. Reprints may be ordered using the form provided as <reprint.doc> or <reprint.pdf>. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The preferred spelling of the word acknowledgment in America is without an e after the g. Avoid the stilted expression, One of us (R.B.G.) thanks . . . Instead, try R.B.G. thanks. Put applicable sponsor acknowledgments here; DO NOT place them on the first page of your paper or as a footnote. REFERENCES List and number all bibliographical references in 9-point Times, single-spaced, at the end of your paper. When referenced in the text, enclose the citation number in square brackets, for example [1]. Where appropriate, include the name(s) of editors of referenced books. The template will number citations consecutively within brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]do not use Ref. [3] or reference [3] except at the beginning of a sentence: Reference [3] was the first . . . Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes. Unless there are six authors or more give all authors names; do not use et al.. Papers that have not been published, even if they have been submitted for publication,

Introduction This section mainly consists of three parts. The first part should present an overview of the problem that has been the main focus of the work. Previous research conducted to overcome the problem should be explained briefly before describing the needs of your work to solve the problem. In short, this part should present the background of the study that motivates the author to do the proposed work. In the second part, the objectives of the work should be presented to outline the justifications for the work. Objectives should be specific and concise in describing the goals of the study. In addition, objectives should be easily measurable, i.e they can be quantified using the results of the study. Once the objectives 37 | P a g e

have been established, the scope of study could be presented. This is the last part of this section that narrows down the breadth of the work conducted in the study. It specifies the boundaries of the work by explaining the limitations and constraints of the research.
j)

Literature Review In this section, the background of the area of research is presented before describing the previous and existing trends in solving the problem in the research area. It should also explain the limitation of previous research and how the proposed work could contribute to solve the problem better. Methodology In this section, the experimental approach is explained in a sequential and logical order (step-by-step approach). The flow chart may help to explain the methodology of the work. Past tense in the passive voice is usually used to describe the procedures and work in this section.

k)

l)

Results and Discussions The results of the work should be presented in this section. The results may include tables, graphs, flow charts, drawings, schematic diagrams and photographs. However, all illustrations must be accompanied with written explanation to show the significance of the results obtained from the study. Any relationship, similarities and differences in the results should also be explained.

m)

Conclusions This is the last section of a final year project report. It is aimed to review the different chapters in the final year project report and provide a proper ending to the final year project report. No new information should be introduced in this section. The conclusion may begin with the restatement of the objectives of the study followed by a review of the results to determine whether the objectives have been confirmed or rejected.
