FINAL YEAR PROJECT (BACHELOR/DEGREE)
1 INTRODUCTION
Final Year Project (FYP) is a requirement for students to be awarded Degree by
Universiti Kuala Lumpur. The project will be carried out within the last two (2)
semesters of their study. In this project, students will either work individually or in a
team of two students under the supervision of their respective department academic
members. At the end of the project, each student is required to submit a report and
present their work to a panel of examiners.
2 OBJECTIVES
The aim of FYP is to provide opportunity for students to apply and integrate the
theoretical knowledge and principles taught throughout the course in solving technical
problems. It also provides the opportunity for the students to demonstrate
independence and originality, as well as to plan and organize a project over a certain
period of time. Throughout this course, student should also be able to:
i) Document all findings and problems encountered during the
implementation.
ii) Apply practical hands-on techniques in process, quality control and related
analysis in their specialized program.
iii) Demonstrate the procedures and methods of project implementation.
iv) Execute the sequence in various steps required to produce / manufacture /
test / solve / improve the real life industrial projects problems.
v) Analyze findings and results of the project.
vi) Produce a technical report and make a presentation.

4 SCOPE OF PROJECTS
Projects should be sufficiently challenging to allow the students to demonstrate a
variety of skills, including the ability to plan the work, perform the necessary
research, manage their time and resources adequately, work independently, show
initiative and originality and present their work orally and in writing. Projects can be
classified as follows:
i) Laboratory experimentation
ii) Design, build and test
iii) Analytical work
iv) Numerical simulations
v) Industrial-based

5 TITLE SELECTION
The project’s title may be proposed by the department academic members or students
may also propose a project of their own interest.
6 PROJECT PROCESSES
7 PROJECT ASSESSMENT
Student will be assessed based on their performance during feasibility study in
semester 6 or 7 and implementation of the project in semester 7 or 8. 1/3 of the total
mark in semester 6 or 7 and 2/3 of the total mark in semester 7 or 8. Students are
expected to meet the supervisor and discuss the project work every week. The
assessment scheme is divided into three (3) elements.

7.1 Log book, Project Progress Assessment and Peer Assessment
Marks allocated are at 35%. Details are as follows:
7.2 Presentation
Marks allocated are at 30%. The assessment is based on an individual basis. It will be
assessed by Project Supervisor and Invited Assessor. The overall mark obtained by
students is the average mark given by Supervisor and second Assessor. There will be
two presentations:
i) Proposal presentation at the end of semester 6 or 7 (Refer to Appendix
I).
ii) Final presentation at the end of semester 7 or 8 (Refer to Appendix J).
7.3 Report
Marks allocated are at 35%. The assessment is based on individual basis. It will be
assessed by Project Supervisor. There will be two reports:
i) Interim (Proposal) report at the end of semester 6 or 7 (Appendix D).
ii) Final project report at the end of semester 7 or 8 (Appendix L to
Appendix P )

9 WRITE-UP
9.1.1 Language
Report shall be written in English language only due to the technical aspects and
terminology used for the project.
9.1.3 Preface

III. Acknowledgement
This sub-section is not compulsory but most research reports
convey appreciation to those who have been involved in the
study.
IV. Table of Contents
The table of contents lists the chapters, topics and sub-topics
together with their page numbers. Topics and sub-topics should
be labeled according to the chapters, for example, the first topic
in Chapter 1 should be marked 1.1 and the first sub-topic, 1.1.1.
The use of letters in parentheses [for example, 1.3.79a)] is
appropriate as a means of differentiating sub-topics of the same
topic from each other. This numbering system provides a clear
picture of the relationship between chapters and topics and shows
how they are connected.
V. List of figures
This list contains the titles of figures, together with their page
numbers, which are listed in the text or in the appendix. The
numbering system is the same as that used for topics, for
example; Figure 1, Figure 1.3, Fig 1.3.7 and Figure 1.3.7 (a)
VI. List of Tables
This list contains the titles of tables, together with their page
numbers, which are listed in the text or in the appendix. the
numbering system is the same as that used for topics and figures,
for example; Table 1, Table 1.3, Table 1.3.7 and Table 1.3.7 (a).
VII. List of Symbols and Abbreviation
This list follows the list of Tables and Figures.
9.1.4 Text
Normally, the text consists of the following chapter.
I. Introduction
This chapter contains the introduction to the issues with which the
research is concerned, the aims and objectives of the study, the
rationale and significance of the study, the problem statement of
issue being studied.
7
II. Literature Review
This chapter surveys previous literature and studies relevant to the
field and related topics. This chapter should reflect a comprehensive
review of the problem under investigation and all references cited
relevant to the problem. Results of various studies are studied,
compared and contrasted. The review usually concludes with a brief
summary of the literature and its implications for the problem. In
some cases the implications discussed form an empirical or
theoretical rational for the hypotheses.
III. Methodology
This is an important component of the research/project report since it
informs the reader on the methods used to collect the data and
generate the findings reported. This chapter describes and explains
the research methodology used in the study. The sub-topics include
the research design and the research procedures adopted. Where
applicable, sampling methods, research instruments and statistical
methods are indicated in the chapter.
IV. Results and Discussion
Texts, figures, table are used to present the data to be analyzed.
This chapter also contains the interpretation of the results and the
analysis of data. The findings of the research should be compared
and contrasted with those of previous studies presented in the
literature review.
V. Conclusion
In this section, the findings are summarized and their implications
discussed. Evidence that the results of the data analysis support the
conclusions of the study is discussed here. Reasonable explanations
are provided for findings with conclusions supported by results.
Possible limitations of the research are also discussed.

9.1.5 Supplement
Specific terms which were not included in the main body of the text should be placed
in the Supplement/Additional section. This section includes:
I. Research instruments such as questionnaires, maps, or computer
programmes.
II. Appendices contain additional illustration of data sources, raw
data and quoted citations which are too long to be placed into the
text. the appendix supports the written text of the
research/project. It can be divided into Appendix A, B, C etc.
Each appendix needs to be listed in the Table of Contents. All
tables and figures in each appendix are numbered and listed in
