13. 5. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION
TAJUK PROJEK
SINOPSIS
The PSM Proposal shall be submitted through ONLINE on WEEK 3 ( 3/3/19 – 7/3/19)

14. Please discuss with your supervisor before you fill in the online form
OBJEKTIF
SKOP
EXPECTED RESULT
To be filled if there is any COLLABORATION with INDUSTRY
Please discuss with your supervisor before you fill in the online form

15. WRITING RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
Objectives are usually headed by infinitive verbs such as:
To identify
To establish
To describe
To determine
To estimate
To develop
To compare
To analyse
To collect

16. The objectives provide an accurate description of the specific actions you will take in order to reach this aim. Can be measured.
Each specific objective consists of one infinitive sentence and should be phrased in a way that makes it possible to draw a conclusion from within the scope of the thesis.
Examples
To determine the strength of the steel with different heat treatment
To analyze the failure mode of AL2024 aluminum plate at different velocity impact.

17. RESEARCH SCOPE
The scope of study refers to the parameter under which the study will be operating
To write a scope of study:
outline the limitations of the research
the specific data used for the research
the theories used to interpret the data
Example:
The samples will be heat treated at three different temperature which are 200 oC, 300oC and 400oC

18. Expected results
The results you expect to see if your hypotheses are true (i.e., the predictions that flow from your hypotheses)
What will conclude if you do not see your expected results (i.e., if your predictions are not observed)?

20. PSM 1 REPORT

21. REPORT CONTENT Introduction – Chapter 1 Literature review - Chapter 2
Methodology – Chapter 3
References
Appendices

22. INTRODUCTION

23. INTRODUCTION An introduction should attract the reader's attention.
Includes:
Background of Study
Problem Statement
Importance / Significance of Study
Objective and Scope of Study
An introduction should attract the reader's attention.

24. Background of Study Introduce your work to the reader
From general knowledge, then focus on your work
Example:- Background of study, recent development, scenario of the project.
“What did you do?”
FKMP

25. Example;
The technological advancements in the field of armaments have led to tremendous increase in demand for lightweight armour materials. Aluminium alloys have emerged as a strong candidate material for defence and aerospace applications due to their low density, high strength and high corrosion resistance.
[Source: Thin Wall Structure Journal(2018) Elsevier

26. Problem Statement
Situation or problem that drive you to do the work or project.
Example: “The corrosion and wear behaviour of this coating has been study elsewhere but, during the drilling process in oil and gas industry, both situation happen. Understanding the behaviour of this coating in this situation is then essential”
FKMP

27. Importance/Significance/Rationale of Study
Shows that your study
Important: may create benefit
Significant: show something attractive and may be used by other researcher.
Rationale; do-able and has contribute to the body of knowledge
FKMP

28. Objective and Scope of Study
What do you want to achieve in this study is the objective.
Scope – limitation of the study. Parameter used in this study.
FKMP

29. LITERATURE REVIEW(LR)

30. The aim of a literature review is to show your reader (your supervisor) that you have read, and have a good grasp of, the main published work concerning a particular topic or question in your field. This work may be in journal, books, proceeding and magazine or any other format, including online sources.

31. It is very important to note that your review should not be simply a description of what others have published in the form of a set of summaries, but should take the form of a critical discussion, showing insight and an awareness of differing arguments, theories and approaches. It should be a synthesis and analysis of the relevant published work, linked at all times to your own purpose and rationale.

32. According to Caulley (1992) of La Trobe University, the literature review should:
compare and contrast different authors' views on an issue
group authors who draw similar conclusions
criticise aspects of methodology
note areas in which authors are in disagreement
highlight exemplary studies
highlight gaps in research
show how your study relates to previous studies
show how your study relates to the literature in general
conclude by summarising what the literature says

33. The purposes of the review are:
to define and limit the problem you are working on
to place your study in an historical perspective
to avoid unnecessary duplication
to evaluate promising research methods
to relate your findings to previous knowledge and suggest further research

34. Example of LR
Sources (International Journal of Solid and Structures (2018), Elsevier

35. Important website; www.sciencedirect.com https://scholar.google.co.uk/
FKMP

36. METHODOLOGY

37. Methodology include: Materials used and its preparation.
Equipment (how it work, specification, precision, limitation)
Parameter use and its unit (length, pressure, strength, velocity)
Standard (According to standard; SIRIM, ASME, ASHRAE, BS, DIN)
Testing configuration
Data – table, graph, chart)
Data analysis
Validation & verification
Calculation and data analysis.

38. Remember to do the following when writing your Methodology:
explain what methods you intend to use when researching and developing your report.
use a descriptive writing approach. It is important to explain what research methods you used to collect your info.
Do not include your questionnaires, interview transcripts, etc. -these go in the dissertation’s appendices.

39. Remember to do the following when writing your Methodology:
Discuss with your project supervisor the extent and level of detail required; original research will obviously require a more detailed description than a project based solely on secondary research.

47. PLAGIARISM
ACCORDING TO THE MERRIAM-WEBSTER ONLINE DICTIONARY, TO "PLAGIARIZE" MEANS
to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
to use (another's production) without crediting the source
to commit literary theft
to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source
In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.
