Then, student need to find minimum five research paper that relate to their project and also have theoretical and methodological contributions to the project.

WEEK 5

            After a week, I have decide to create a robotic project, which is Robotic Arm that can be control by hand motion. I choose this project because mostly factory are use the robotic and it is upgrade by technologies. The robotic arm will move based on human hand motion and it is suitable using by heavy factory. I have decide to proceed this robotic arm project so; I went to see Madam Azliza to register the title. However, the project have a little change on the project title that is by “Robotic Arm by using Hand Motion” to “The Development of Hand Motion Robotic Arm using Microcontroller”. This is because the title is look very simple and must mention the main item that will be use. After that, Madam Azliza register my project title into the UniKL BMI website: http://fyp.bmi.unikl.edu.my/report_cursemdeg1.php  

After register the project title, Madam Azliza asked me to find robotic arm article or any article that related to my FYP project. This research also will be use on Literature Review of FYP report (Chapter 2) because I need to compare my project with other project related. 

WEEK 4

In week 4, I need to focus on FYP project because all student need to submit the FYP tittle to their supervisor by week 5. I spent the whole week going through existing FYP title throughout available sources such as from the internet, FYP websites and survey the previous FYP project at library UniKL BMI. Mostly, previous student had focus the project by using RFID, Arduino, IOT and Raspberry because nowadays technology become more advances. Student need to create a unique project that should be something new or improved from previous project. So I have been decide to use RFID and I plan to do Examination Attendance by RFID Based. This project is an authentication system where student have card holder that are authorized through RFID technology and it’s contain student detail such as name, identification card (IC) number, ID number and status about finances and discipline student. So student did not need to print and bring examination slip when they are sitting for the final exam.

 After that, I have meet madam Azliza to explain about my selection project that the tittle is Examination Attendance by RFID Based but madam have given some suggestion and advice that this project have complicated. It is involve UniKL BMI management system such as student attendance, discipline, finance problem etc. then, madam give me time to research and think to stay doing this project or do another project.

WEEK 2

On this week, I need to choose supervisor for my project and I have some recommended from other student about supervisor because every lecturer in UniKL BMI have its own advantage. The role of supervisor is they will guide their student’s final year project 1 and 2, give advice and recommend improving student’s project. Besides that, student also need to update their project on supervisor and accept any advises and suggestion from supervisor. I have choose Madam Azliza Binti Mohamad Arshad that is senior lecturer in electronic technology at UniKL Bmi and meet her to discuss about my fyp project. She give me many suggestion and recommendation to create a project. However, my previous diploma project is Sunlight Solar Detector and I have decided not to continue this project.
