ABSTRACT
Industrial Training (LI) is a compulsory requirement for all undergraduate students of the
programs involved to get the certification of Degree Sarjana Muda at Universiti Sultan Zainal
Abidin (Unisza). The student's evaluation are based on their weekly report, final report and
specific task. The existing method used nowdays by supervisor to give an evaluation marks for
their students are still using manual method that is using an evaluation form. In order to sustain
and improvise the existing method of the student's evaluation, a new strategy is required. So,
an Evaluation of Industrial Training system which is a web based system are developed in order
to enables and facilitates on the student's assessment. The research methods for gathering
requirements consists of an literature review and documents review (evaluation form) are used
to adapted the existing method of student's assessment with the development of MyESIT.
Regarding to the time and amount of workload factors, Iterative and Incremental model have
been chosen as a guideline during the development of MySPPLi. The system was developed
using HTML scripting language (Hyper Text Markup Language), PHP (Hypertext
Preprocessor) and Javascript. Other softwares that are used during the development of MyESIT
are Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, as a web server. Meanwhile, Adobe Dreamweaver
CS6 are used for encoding and MySQL as a database. Indirectly, MyESIT system allows the
student's assessment entered directly into the system without involving the use of the evaluation
form.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
Industrial Training (LI) is a mandatory requirement for all Bachelor's students from all program
involved to fulfilling the requirements for the award of Bachelor's Degree, Universiti Sultan
Zainal Abidin (UnisZA). This training is conducted in full time. Industrial Training aims to
provide students the opportunity to practice academic knowledge in real-world occupation.
Indirectly, it can assess the student's knowledge and self-esteem. In addition to getting
professional acquaintance and networking with the industry, students can also use industrial
training experience to help them gain a career in the future.
The duration of the industrial training is over a semester which is 6 months. Most of
these industrial training students are located in the state of Johor, Kelantan, Terengganu, Kuala
Lumpur, Perlis, Perak and other states according to the student's choice. Throughout the
supervision, students will be evaluated by their respective supervisor's lecturers. Things to
consider in this assessment are discipline, work skills, diligence and interest, creative and
innovative, cooperative attitude, personality and communication skills. These are assessed
based on at least one meeting between the student and the supervisor's lecturer during the
industrial training periods.
The number of trainees for supervisor’s lecturers and the distances between different
organizations makes the supervisor need to pursue time and consequently the supervisor that
evaluate students is less than perfect. In addition, supervisory lecturers also use the form to
make assessment marks for students including weekly’s note reports, final reports and special
work.
11
With the growing use of ICT in today's education and the broader opportunities for
communicating, it is important that ICT be applied in the evaluation of Industrial Training
students. Therefore, based on the study conducted on the method for assessment of Industrial
Training students used at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (Unisza) at this time, the Evaluation
System of Industrial Training Student (MyESIT) is proposed to facilitate the supervisor's
assessment of student supervision over the duration of the industrial training.
Student assessment methods include the evaluation of weekly reports, final reports and
student-specific assignments. Indirectly, MyESIT provides facilities for supervisors and
industry supervisors to insert student evaluation scores electronically. This feature will improve
management to be more efficient, reduce the use of the form and help the involved parties to
save more time.
12
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Innovation in practical need to be considered and implemented to enhance learning and
performance among industrial training students undergoing Industrial Training (LI) in an
organization. Online assessment is widely used in research, counselling, nursing, teaching and
teaching practice.
Based on several studies and observations carried out on the existing methods of evaluation
for Industrial Training in students, there are some shortcomings. Among those are:
The evaluation method used by supervisory lecturers and industry supervisors is by
using the form.
The university is facing a delay in obtaining evaluation forms from industry
supervisors by students that undergoing Industrial Training.
Difficult to obtain and update a record of students, supervisors and organizations
involved through existing portals right on times.
The evaluation method used by industry supervisors is by using the form and then submit
the assessment forms to the student to be handed over to the supervisor's lecturer when the
supervisor's lecturer visits the organization. This situation raises doubts if there are frauds or
students altering the marks found on the evaluation forms before students submit it.
Furthermore student maybe making fake signature at their daily report and full report.
13
1.3 OBJECTIVES
The Evaluation System of Industrial Training Students (MyESIT) aims to assist the university,
especially supervisor and industrial supervisor to evaluate and review the work of the Industrial
Training students (LI) work more easily and regularly. The system also aims to facilitate
supervisors to obtain information on students who undergo industrial training and enable
reports generated by students during industrial training to be stored more easily and
systematically.
To achieve this goal, the three objectives of MyESIT were drawn up:
i To study the methods of evaluation Industrial Training students.
ii To develop the Evaluation System of Industrial Training Student (MyESIT).
iii To test the Evaluation System of Industrial Training Student (MyESIT) that will develop.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
Prior to initiating the project development process, a survey and study was conducted to
determine the extent of the system requirements to be developed. This chapter explains the
research done on existing systems, the shortcomings and advantages of existing systems, and
the technologies used in system development. The literature review is aimed to gather
information as well as identifying problems that occur in search of opportunities to further
enhance the productivity of the system being studied (Whitten, 1994). This chapter is a
method for identifying problems and deficiencies in existing systems. This allows system
developers to add and improve existing system shortages. Literature review is very important
as it can provide ideas and directions about the research to be done.
2.2 Industry Training Program (Li) in Education
Industrial Training (LI) is a compulsory requirement for students in certain programs at all
levels of higher education at the Institute of Higher Education (IPT). To improve the leverage
of graduates, the LI program is introduced to empower the competencies required. LI courses
provide students with learning opportunities in the world of work to receive practical
experience to improve its marketability (Industrial Training Guidelines, 2013 Edition,
Ministry of Higher Education).
Industrial Training (LI) is a mandatory requirement for all Bachelor's students from
the programs involved in fulfilling the requirements for the award of the Bachelor's Degree,
Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (Unisza). Industrial Training aims to provide students the
opportunity to practice academic knowledge into real-world employment. Indirectly, it can
assess the student's career values, knowledge and self-esteem. Besides to get the professional
acquaintances and networking with the industry, students can also use industry training
experience in helping to get a good future careers.
17
2.3 Review On Existing System
The study of existing systems is essential for developing a new system. It is intended
as a reference and guide to developing a new system. Additionally, reviews on existing
system can also provide system developers with the useful information that relevant to
develop systems in order to avoid mistakes and indirectly the problems inherent in existing
systems can be overcome.
2.3.1 Teaching Information System (UTM)
Table 2.1 Teaching Information System
Teaching Information System (or simply SMLM) is an on-line application
developed using Active Server Pages (ASP) programming and Microsoft Access database
applications. SMLM was created to help overcome most of the problems faced by the Faculty
in designing, implementing and managing Teaching’s Training. SMLM is built on a web
page that offers flexibility where every student, lecturer, mentor and school sides can see the
progress of students under their supervision and this can be done anywhere and at any time in
real-time.
SMLM offers six categories of users based on their respective needs and usage
namely trainee teachers, supervisory lecturers, school management and school’s supervisor,
teaching training secretaries, teaching training managers and system managers. SMLM
provides facilities for students (trainee teachers) to register online teaching training. Then the
18
trainee teachers can make a school’s choice as a place to training teaching. Supervisory
lecturers can use SMLM to do some activities such as viewing and updating personal records,
viewing the records of each student under supervision, viewing the placement of trainees,
drawing up relevant research questions, entering assessment scores, updating and scoring
relevant scores.
SMLM also offers facilities for school management to scan and update school-related
records, name and information of school’s supervisor and fill out feedback on trainee teachers
under their supervision. School’s supervisor may also include assessment marks on their
undergraduate teachers and update their scores. Among the features of SMLM is the facility
to submit online assessment marks by lecturers and school’s supervisor. The system also
offers ease of analysis as well as making grading and statistical analysis. This can provide
useful information to all parties involved in making appropriate follow up actions.
Overall, the SMLM prototype is designed and developed specifically to assist the
Faculty to improve the planning, implementation and administration of teaching training
programs. The use of SMLM by UTM demonstrates that this prototype not only helps the
Faculty to solve the problems faced but also reduces the cost and time of administration and
enables the Faculty and other involved parties to take follow-up actions more quickly and
efficiently.

2.3.2 Achievement Measurement System (e-PerforM), UiTM
Table 2.2 e-PerforM
The e-PerforM online system is a performance measurement evaluation system to replace of
an annual performance appraisal method that applies the Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA)
forms for UiTM's academic staff. The purpose of the e-PerforM development is to measure
the achievement / performance of academic staff and facilitate the achievement of data,
particularly regarding teaching, supervision, publication, research, award / innovation and so
on. The method of system implementation of e-PerforM is online.
This system is more beneficial to academic staff, the Faculty and the University as the
evaluation’s elements to be undertaken provide various information that conforms to the
characteristics of the production of an academic staff, as compared with the existing
evaluation system. The current assessment method is more generic and does not really reflect
academic achievement. The system has also been integrated with existing systems at UiTM,
namely Staff Management Information System (STARS), Research Management Institute
Reporting System (iReS) and Student Information Management System (SIMS).
20
Table 2.3 Performance Summary
The e-PerforM system can also assist faculty and university management in order to help
information management teams to be organized and efficient. Evaluation and scoring criteria
for teaching and preparation quality that involve ATP hours for instructional and supervisory
hours applied in e-PerforM are based on current policies and guidelines issued by Academic
Affairs (HEA). The performance evaluation of lecturers is based on the criteria of teaching,
supervision, publication, research, consulting and expertise, conferences, innovations,
university services, community services, contributions to student development, personal
qualities and leadership.
21
2.3.3 Student Assessment System (SAS), UTHM
Table 2.4 Student Assessment System (SAS)
The Student Assessment System (SAS) is a system developed by the Information Technology
Center, UTHM. This system allows users (UTHM lecturers) to evaluate and scoring on their
supervised student’s tasks such as quizzes, reports and final exams online more easily and
quickly. The application environment used in the Student Assessment System (SAS) consists
of a platform that has the configuration of all kinds of operating systems and all kinds of
latest web browsers.
The Student Assessment System (SAS) also provides several reports that can be
generated by lecturers directly through the system. Lecturers can revise the assessed
assessments and basic course information such as course code, section, semester / session,
course name, current number of students, assignment names, maximum marks and
percentages that are already set by the coordinator in this system. Furthermore, the lecturer
can fill in the marks for each student who is listed in the system according to the student
22
under the supervision of the lecturer. An error or notification message will be displayed if the
marks entered by the lecturer do not meet the specifications specified. Through the Student
Assessment System (SAS), lecturers can easily identify the level of student achievement
under supervision.
23
2.4 Analyse on Existing System
Analyse existing system is aimed at obtaining information on existing systems, identifying advantages and disadvantages and analysing the
system to get the concepts of the system to be developed. The purpose of this process is to deeply understand the need for a new system and
develop a system that meets the requirements set. The following is a survey of some of the existing systems.

CHAPTER 3
METHODOLOGY
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Project Methodology is one of the implementation plans for the developer to make
sure the system that will develop works properly. In this chapter, the methodology used in
effort to develop this particular system will be discussed. For this project, iterative and
incremental model approach has been chosen as one of the software development life cycle.
While the other method that will apply in this project is Weighted Sum Model (WSM). The
details of those methodology as approach to apply in this project development will be
explained further. This chapter also state the design requirement and process model of this
proposed system. The details of system function, method and approach used, database
designation and interfaces of the system will be shown. The process model for this system
include Context Diagram (CD), Data Flow Diagram (DFD) and Entity Relationship Diagram
(ERD) are included in this chapter too.
3.2 Iterative and Incremental Model
Evaluation System for Industrial Training (myESiT) is developed by using Iterative
and Incremental Model approach. By using this approach, it allows the developer to develop
the system phase by phase. Developer also possible to return in previous phase even though
the deliverables had been done. There are 8 phases in iterative and incremental model which
are initial planning, planning, requirements, analysis and design, implementation, testing
3.2.1 Initial Planning Phase
All activities involves to develop a complete system are plan according to a given
period in this phase. Initial planning phase are begins with brainstorming session with the
supervisor to come up with good ideas and verify the title for the project propose. Based on a
few brainstorming session with the supervisor, the project title have been decided which is,
Evaluation System for Industrial Training (myESiT) and the preferred technique that will
apply is Weighted Sum.
29
3.2.2 Planning Phase
For planning phase, a brief discussion are focus on defining the problem statements,
and objectives and scope for the propose system. In order to get more information, the
process of reviewing existing system are done to gather as much as their constrain and the
limitation.
3.2.3 Requirement Phase
All requirement that were needed in order to develop the system are identified from
the process of reviewing existing system. In this phase, all information regarding Evaluation
System either in the form of journal, articles or research paper are gathered and studied.
3.2.4 Analysis and Design
For analysis and design phase, the design of the entire system will create and the
prototype of the system based on its functionalities will be built. All data and requirement
obtained in previous phase are transformed into the design. There are a few diagram that will
be build which are Use Case Diagram, Activity Diagram, Sequence Diagram. Entity
Relationship Diagram (ERD), and Data Dictionary. All of these diagrams are built as a
guideline of the flow of the system
3.2.5 Implementation and Testing
After designing the interface, the implementation phase are applied. During this
phase, the improvement of overall the system modules will be done. A further discussion
with respected supervisor are held in order to seek for solution for any error or fixing bugs in
the system. Unit testing and integrated testing for each module is done to find errors and
solutions to overcome and problems. In the end of the phase, the entire modules of the system
will be combined together and tested again before it is implemented.
3.2.6 Evaluation
The evaluation of the system need to be done before deploying it to the end user. The
system must fulfil the entire system requirement and objective of the system itself.
30
3.2.6 Deployment
Once the evaluation is done, the system is deployed in the environment so that the
targeted user can use the system. The system will be in steady state which meets all the
objectives of the project.
3.3 Software and Hardware Requirement
System requirement during development process can be divided into two parts which
is hardware and software requirement. The selection of hardware and software needs is
important so that all features of the system to be developed can fulfil the need of consumers
and will not cause any problems in the future. Appropriate selection will enable the system
move systematically and efficiently.
3.3.1 Hardware Requirement
The choice of hardware requirements is very important so that programmers can
produce the best quality of project. Here are the hardware criteria needed in developing the

3.4 Problem Identification
Evaluation System for Industrial Training (MyESiT) will develop as a proposed solution
in order to facilitate the methods of evaluation for industrial training’s student todays. As we
know, the evaluation method used by supervisor lecturers and industrial supervisor are by using
the form. The implementation of manual method will cause many problems such as the
university is facing a delay in obtaining evaluation forms from industrial supervisor by students
that undergoing Industrial Training. Besides, it’s also difficult to obtain and update a record of
students, supervisors and organization involved through existing portals right on times
The evaluation method used by industry supervisors is by using the form and then submit
the assessment forms to the student to be handed over to the supervisor's lecturer when the
supervisor's lecturer visits the organization. This situation raises doubts if there are frauds or
students altering the marks found on the evaluation forms before students submit it.
Furthermore student maybe making fake signature at their daily report and full report.
32
3.5 System Design
The design for Evaluation System for Industrial Training such as use case diagram, activity
diagram, sequence diagram, and entity relationship diagram (ERD) are explained in detailed.
Data modelling is required to facilitate the interaction between system designer, programmer
and end-user. It’s able to help identify the needs, problems and possible solutions during the
project.

3.6 Weighted Sum Model (WSM)
Weighted Sum Model (WSM) is the most commonly used approach, especially in
single dimensional problem. If there are m alternative and n criteria then, the best alternative
is the one that satisfies (in the maximization case) the following expression (Triantaphyllou
2000) :
Diagram 3.25 WSM Formula
Where n is the number of criteria, aij is the value of weight assigned to the j criteria.
Performance of each alternative under each criteria aij relative weight for each criteria Wj.
There are a few steps in WSM method:
Step 1 : State each criteria with a weight of importance
Step 2 : Overall score calculated by mulitply the criteria score with weightage
Step 3 : Sum up the value of all score and find a total weight to rank
In evaluation system for industrial training there a many criteria to evaluate such as
for supervision evaluation, specific task, final report, and industrial supervision as shown in
table below.

3.7 Framework of the system
The diagram of framework below shows how this system works in a general way.
Weighted sum model method will be used to calculate the marks or make evaluation towards
students undergo Industrial Training
Industrial supervisor, lecturer supervisor, coordinator and student can login into the
system to get the privileges of using the system. Student able to check their marks from the
evaluation process made by their supervisor. While supervisor able to make evaluation
towards their student based on weekly report, final report, special task and so on. The
supervisor need to upload student marks to be view by their student. All the actions are
recorded into the web server and database of this proposed system.
