3. The objectives of academic project I and II are as follows: To produce system development, testing and evaluation for their project. To mastery the tools that have been identified. To produce the overall reports.

4. A CADEMIC PROJECT I

5. I NTRODUCTION WAES3181 is conducted over a semester. Initial tasks to complete the project such as: identifying project title, sourcing for at least three relevant articles demonstrating mastery of developments tools Failure to complete the project in one semester will result in the students awarded with an F grade. The course is conducted by the respective departments. Hence, supervision and assessments are done by members of the department concerned.

6. L EARNING O UTCOMES At the end of the course, students will be able to: i. Analyze problems and produce problem statements. ii. Identify appropriate solution approach for the problems. iii. Review literatures related to the problems. iv. Use appropriate programming languages and/or tools for each solution proposed. v. Identify commercialization opportunity for the product to be developed.

7. C OURSE O UTLINE Identify a project Source for a minimum of 3 relevant articles Write up a proposal Master the development tools for the project Design a prototype Develop the prototype Write up a report Present and defend the project in a viva

8. STUDENT’S ROLES Register the correct course. Choose a project title offered by the lecturers of your respective department via Ilmiah system: http://ilmiah.fsktm.um.edu.my/index.php http://ilmiah.fsktm.um.edu.my/index.php Meet the lecturer to discuss about the title and make confirmation with the lecturer. (The confirmation is upon agreement between lecture – student) Attend the Research Method Class (Please check the timetable) Perform the academic project diligently and report on the work’s progress constantly. (Please meet your supervisor at least once a week.) Attend the viva session and present your work. Submit the proposal to the supervisor before the deadline.

10. E VALUATION M ETHODS Continuous evaluation: 100%. Academic Project I & II: Supervisor – Proposal - 40% Panels - Mastery of Tools/Viva - 60%

11. Viva 2 panels (lecturers from your department who are familiar with your topic) will be assigned to evaluate your work. The schedule of the viva will be prepared by the Coordinator of each dept. Report/Proposal Each student must prepare a proposal for academic project I which contains at least the following information: Introduction to relevant project/title. Statement of problems and the proposed solutions. Project scope. Project objectives that could be measured. Literature reviews where the students should be able to elaborate and make a comparison on the methods/solutions that have been implemented before. The modules/design/models/algorithms that will be developed in Academic Project II. References.

12. R ESEARCH M ETHOD CLASS A class conducted to provide a set of guidelines to students. intends to give some ideas on how to carry out this course. will be conducted in 7 weeks ( 2 hours per week). Students are highly recommended to attend this class as it will give as much information as needed.

14. A CADEMIC PROJECT II

15. INTRODUCTION In this course, students are required to design and develop a prototype based on the problem and tools that they have identified in AP 1, write a project report, present and defend their project.

16. L EARNING OUTCOMES Depends on your department. For e.g. For AI dept..... At the end of this course, students are able to : Develop project using identified tools Demonstrate ethical and professional values in project development and documentation Write report. Solve problems based on best practices Use knowledge from various sources for project development

17. EVALUATION METHOD Continuous evaluation: 100%. Academic Project I & II: Supervisor –Report - 40% Panels - System/Viva - 60%

18. Viva Each student must present their system during the viva. Report Each student must prepare a report for academic project II which contains at least the following information: System development methodology. System design and analysis. System evaluation. Conclusions.
