EPT4046 Project
Aim
1. To expose students to the techniques and
skills involved in project planning, design,
and implementation.
2. To enable students to acquire hands-on
experience in fields related to their major of
study so that they are able to relate and
reinforce what has been taught in the class.
4
Details
• Each student shall be required to undertake a
project which is of academic value for a period of 2
trimesters.
• The project involves problem solving and analysis
using engineering theories and techniques, and its
implementation.
• The student is expected to design a possible
solution to the problem, taking into account various
aspects such as professionalism, engineering
viability, etc.
5
Details
• Upon passing Part 1, the status will be CON
(Continue).

What is logbook?
The following are responsibilities that the student
must carry out for the effective handling of the FYP
Logbook:
Students are required to record findings, progress and
activities of their FYP in this logbook. Note: the best way to
follow up with your logbook is to have your activities planned
(i.e. in the form of Gantt chart) out for the whole two
trimesters of your FYP so you know what you are going to do.
Any changes in the activities or non-achievements can be
discussed in the logbook. Try using flowcharts, block
diagrams, tables, etc and not merely words to make your
writing more thorough. Detailed logbook may help in final
thesis writing.
26
What is logbook?
For purchases such as consumables, you may photocopy the
original receipts and paste it in the logbook. Note: Proper record
keeping is important. It also helps you with your financial planning
if you reserve a section totally for the financial part. Remember to
report the cost in the final thesis writing.
Students MUST attend regular meetings with supervisor at least
once in two weeks (or better). Meeting is calculated per weekly
basis. If you meet your supervisor twice a week or more, it is still
considered as one meeting for the week.
The logbook must be brought to every meeting with the
Supervisor, in order for the Supervisor to monitor the progress
and evaluate the performance. Record Supervisor’s
advice/suggestion in the logbook as well, if any.
27
What is logbook?
Supervisor MUST date, sign and stamp the logbook after each
meeting.
It is the responsibility of the student that this logbook is kept up to
date.
Photocopied of logbook is to be submitted together with FYP Part
1 report at the end of trimester of Part 1.
The complete logbook after FYP Part 2 has to be handed over
directly to the Supervisor at the end of FYP Part 2 to be examined.
Finally, when submitting the hardcover report for FYP Part 2 (the
thesis) to the administrative office, the original complete logbook
shall be submitted as well by student after inspection by the
Supervisor.
Take note that logbook and meeting with supervisor are graded.

What is Development?
To develop something…products, processes,
methods, etc. that benefits the society.
Apply scientific, engineering or technological
knowledge in a systematic manner to improve
performance.
Helps organisation growth and increase
shareholder value.
Fundamentally more significant as a contributor to

Research Methodology
What is research methodology?
systematic rules/process/methods of data collection
and analysis, and finally decision making.
You may be practicing/doing it but not realised it
explicitly.
Example
management of project (plan, analyse, execute,
review, control, etc.).
designing a new product (plan, analyse, execute,
review, control, etc.).
Research methodology is important!
