1. INTRODUCTION

Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year

undergraduate students of UniMy and it is one of the conditions which need to be fulfilled for the

purpose of graduation. In FYP, students will have the opportunity to further explore the knowledge

and theories gained in classes and to apply them in the form of applied or research-based project.

FYP is a two semester long course which is divided into two phase – Final Year Project 1 (FYP1)

and Final Year Project 2 (FYP2) – respectively.

1.1 Objectives of FYP

a. The objectives for FYP1 :

i. Identifying suitable and relevant topic which can be developed either through

development or research activities and match the level expected of an

undergraduate student.

ii. Identifying relevant information pertaining to project’s requirements from a

variety of resources.

iii. Explaining and applying project development or research methodologies

appropriate to the project.

iv. Plan, design and propose a feasible project based on the given timeline.

v. Communicating project ideas and final product through technical

report and presentation.

b. The objectives of FYP2 :

i. Develop the project in FYP1 according to the proposed plan and design.

ii. Verify and validate the developed projects against the proposed objectives goals

iii. Proposing future improvement based on project outcomes.

iv. Communicating project ideas and final product through technical

report and presentation.

1.2 FYP Management

Faculty of Computing, UniMy has setup a committee to monitor, supervise and manage the

implementation of FYP. The committee will assist the students by providing all the required

information and materials required throughout the duration of FYP.

The faculty has created a dedicated FYP website (https://fypunimy.wordpress.com) where

students can access :

a. Latest news and announcement

b. FYP calendars

c. FYP presentation schedules

d. Suggested topics for FYP

e. FYP forms – supervisor selection, evaluation, etc.

f. The list of lecturers and their area of expertise

Printed information and memos will also be posted on the announcement boards. Students

ARE STRONGLY ADVISED to regularly check for updates and news from the website and the

announcement board. Students can also meet any of the FYP committee members for any questions

or problems relating to FYP.

2. PROJECT CATEGORIES

2.1 Introduction

There are two types of projects allowed in FYP: System Development and Research-based.

i. System Development

This type of project is based on developing an application, software or

embedded systems. The undertaken project must include programming elements

with appropriate users’ complexity and meets the scope of FYP. This type of project

gives the students an opportunity to conduct exercise as a project developer in the

area of computing.

Examples of applications that can been developed in this area are web based

application, RFID-based project, sensor, PDA-based application, mobile phone

application including SMS, .NET application, TINI based systems, robotics, etc.

ii. Research-based

This type of project is based on a research application that includes data

analysis, comparative studies or application of techniques or algorithms. Similar

to project based, programming elements must be included in the research project via

the development of a prototype. The prototype shall serve as testing module or

proving mechanism for the research idea explored in the project. It also emphasizes

on analysis as well as technical writing of the report.

Students are expected to read few technical papers and able to digest with the

help from the appointed supervisors. This type of project aims at grooming the

students with research skills in the area of computer networking, computer security

Page 10: HANDBOOK - WordPress.com · 14/07/2017  · 1 1. INTRODUCTION Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year undergraduate students of UniMy

and embedded system. It is suitable for students who are interested in Research and

Development (R&D) careers such as academic professionals and researchers.

Examples of research-based projects that can developed in this area are

application of statistical technique in analyzing network data, new technique in

parallel cryptography, comparative study of IDS performance, implementation of

soft computing technique in solving security and network problems.

2.2 Project Domains

There are different fields of study under each area in Faculty of

Computing as shown in Table 2.1. The list is not definite, thus students are allowed to propose any

topic or idea from other domain or field of study related to computing.

In the same time, students are also encouraged to explore interdisciplinary topic.

Interdisciplinary means, the project is a mixture between two different fields example Malware

Detection using Artificial Neural Networks. It is a security field but using the tools from Software

Engineering domain. No matter which field the project belongs to, students can do it either in

system development or research-based projects. Each project types will differ in

terms of problem, goal, methodology and design

Table 2.2 shows examples of topics which can be explored in either project-based or research-

based FYP.

2.3 Searching For Project Titles

Students are encouraged to find ideas based on :

i. previous topics developed by students of other universities

ii. technical papers (white papers, journal, conference)

iii. relevant real-life problem

iv. current trend in mobile app repository website such as Google Rank or Apple list

v. most googled keywords

vi. discussion with supervisor

However, students are advised to discuss with the supervisor on the feasibility of the topics.

Students are also encouraged to find a topic that is related to his/her field of study. Even though

information system based topic which focus on the normal create, read, update, delete (CRUD)

functionalities is famous among students, students are advise to add extra functionalities such as

data analytics, data visualization or specific searching algorithm which will make the project becomes

more suitable with the expectation of a final year project.

In the same time, students must avoid topics which are too ambitious and have a high degree

of complexity which will lead to project incompletion or other risks which may jeopardize the project

and the student’s timeframe. Discuss all possible topics with the supervisor before choosing the most

suitable topic for the project.

3. FINAL YEAR PROJECT 1 (FYP1)

This section outline the major procedures which need to be followed by the students,

supervisors and evaluators. These procedures must be followed in ensuring the success of FYP1.

3.1 FYP1 Execution Procedure

In general, FYP1 starts when the students register for the course at the beginning of the

semester. This is then followed by supervisor selection process where students will discuss with

his/her potential supervisor(s) on topic(s) that match the interest of both parties. After gaining the

supervisor’s consent, the students will start develop the initial proposal which then need to be

submitted and approved the FYP committee. Once the proposed topic is approved, students need

to regularly meet and discuss with the supervisor(s) on matters related to the execution of the

project and get themselves ready for project presentation and evaluation at the end of

the semester. Figure 3.1 illustrates the overall procedures of FYP1.

3.1.1 Registration

FYP1 can only be registered by final year students which have fulfil the minimum

requirements and pre-requisite of FYP1 as stated in the course plan. Registration period is 2 weeks,

starting from 1 week before the semester’s registration day until the end of Week 1. Students must

register the correct course code in order to proceed.

3.1.2 FYP1 Briefing

In Week 1, a briefing session chaired by the FYP Coordinator will be held as introductory class

for all registered students. The briefing session will explain the flow of process and procedures of

FYP1, supervisor and topic selection, rules and regulations and other important matters related to

FYP. Students’ attendance are compulsory.

3.1.3 Appointment of Supervisor

Students are responsible to approach and find a potential supervisor who will assist and guide

them in the implementation of the project. The appointed supervisor will supervise the students for

both FYP1 and FYP2. Two approaches can be used in selecting the potential supervisor :

i. Lecturers who have potential topics for FYP are required to publish those topics.

Students may approach their potential supervisor based on the topics.

ii. Students may approach any lecturers with their own topics/ideas

Each lecturers can only supervise a limited number of FYP students, therefore, students are

encouraged to meet up with their potential supervisor as early as possible. The following tips could

be used as guides in approaching the supervisor :

i. Have a discussion with a few lecturers before making the final selection. Factors to

consider:

A supervisor who has sufficient knowledge on the intended project.

A supervisor who has the same interest on the intended project.

Co-supervisor, if the intended project is a cross discipline area.

ii. DO NOT appoint a supervisor at the last minute. If possible, appoint one

before the semester opens.

iii. Each student must get the supervisor’s agreement/consent to supervise them.

iv. Check the list of lecturers and their areas of interests at the FYP website

Page 16: HANDBOOK - WordPress.com · 14/07/2017  · 1 1. INTRODUCTION Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year undergraduate students of UniMy

3.1.3.1 The Responsibilities of Supervisor

Supervisor plays important role in Final Year Project. In general, a supervisor is responsible to

advice, guide and monitor a student’s progress in FYP. Besides that, in a good supervisor-student

relationship, a supervisor also plays the role of a counselor and motivator. However, it is not advisable

for the students to be too independent on his/her supervisor especially in developing the content for

FYP.

The following is a guideline on the responsibilities of the supervisor :

i. To give guidance about the nature of the project and the standard expected, about

the development of the Proposal, literature research, techniques and methods

selection, and about any problems of plagiarism (please refer to Section 4.4).

ii. To ensure that the proposed project exhibits the appropriate attributes expected of a

final year project on a computing degree.

iii. To hold regular weekly meeting or discussion session with the student.

iv. To ensure that the Log Book is kept up to date.

v. To be accessible, within reason, at other times for giving advice to the student.

vi. To request evidence of progress and to ensure that the student is aware of any

inadequacy of progress or of standards of work below those expected.

vii. To provide constructive criticism on any work presented.

viii. To encourage the student to produce early draft chapters of the project report, to

comment on them critically and return them promptly. (However it is the student’s

responsibility to write draft material, and if they do not do so the student loses an

opportunity for formative feedback).

Students are required to meet the supervisor on regular basis with minimum requirement of 6

meeting throughout the FYP1 timeframe. Supervisor shall regularly check and verify the student’s

FYP Log Book. The log book is one of the evaluation criteria at the end of the FYP.

3.1.3.2 Co-Supervisor

Student with the permission of his/her supervisor is allowed to appoint a co-supervisor.

Student MUST INFORM the FYP Committee of the appointment by stating the co-supervisor’s name

on the Project Proposal Submission Form (Appendix A).

Important notes on co-supervisor :

i. Co-supervisor’s responsibilities are but not limited to :

Guide the students during the idea development

Become the subject matter expert if the project’s domain is not within the

expertise of the main supervisor.

Introduce students to any other external organization which may assist the

student in completing the project

ii. Co-supervisor can be appointed among UniMy academic staff, industry players or

other external organizations related to the project.

iii. Co-supervisor will not involve in the assessment of the student’s FYP components.

3.1.4 Initial Project Proposal Submission

Once the student and the supervisor agreed on the topic, students must then starts

developing initial proposal for the project. Initial proposal would require the students to do

information search, identify the objectives, goals and scope of the projects. Initial proposal will give

a general idea to the reader about the projects and the expected final product.

Students are required to submit an initial proposal to the FYP committee by using the

Project Proposal Submission Form (please refer to Appendix A).

3.1.5 Project Proposal Approval

The FYP Committee will organize an evaluation session to discuss and approve all the

proposed topics for FYP1. In general, all topics will be evaluated based on :

Page 19: HANDBOOK - WordPress.com · 14/07/2017  · 1 1. INTRODUCTION Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year undergraduate students of UniMy

13

i. No duplication with previous projects in terms of objectives and scopes for a particular

problem domain

ii. Students are clear on the objectives and scopes of the projects

iii. Students meet the minimum requirements in terms of technologies to be applied in

the project

iv. The topics is relevant, feasible and suitable with the student’s field of study.

In case where further clarification is required, the panel may held special interview session

with the students in order to identify the above mentioned criteria.

Note to all students :

For rejected topics, student are required to propose a new topic within 1 week after

the panel’s decision announced.

Students are not allowed to change his/her FYP topic once the topic is approved by

the FYP Committee. In situation where there is a need for such action, student must

discuss the matter with the FYP Coordinator.

3.1.6 Supervision Meeting and Log Book

It is the responsibilities of the students to meet and discuss the progress of the project with

his/her supervisor regularly. This will help the students to execute their project according to the

faculty’s procedure and standards. Most important is the supervisor will be able to guide the students

in achieving the objectives and goals of the projects.

Students are required to arrange for a minimum of 6 formal meetings with their supervisor

before they are allowed to submit the final report and present the FYP1. All meetings must be

recorded in a logbook (refer to Appendix F) and supervisor’s signature of approval for each meeting

is required.

3.1.9 FYP1 Presentation Week

FYP presentation week is one the most important milestone in FYP1. In this week (Week 8),

students will present their FYP1 outcome and will be evaluated by a panel of two (2) evaluators /

examiners appointed by the FYP Committee. The FYP committee will release the presentation

schedule in Week 7 and all sessions are open for everyone to attend. Guidelines and procedures to

FYP presentation are described in section 3.1.12.

3.1.10 FYP1 Report Correction

At the end of the FYP presentation, students will receive a comment form from the examiners.

Students are then required to do correction based on the comments. Students are urged to discuss

all comments with their supervisor and take appropriate actions. If required, corrections made to the

report must be endorsed by both supervisor and evaluators.

3.1.11 FYP1 Evaluation

At the end of the semester, each student’s project will be evaluated in determining

that the objectives and scope are adequate and are aligned with project aim. A

Page 22: HANDBOOK - WordPress.com · 14/07/2017  · 1 1. INTRODUCTION Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year undergraduate students of UniMy

passing grade in FYP1 is a requirement for FYP2. Details on the evaluation criteria are explained in

section 3.3.

3.1.12 FYP1 Presentation

Thirty (30) minutes is allocated to each student for presentation, with 20

minutes for slides presentation and 10 minutes for the question and answer (Q&A) session.

It is advisable for the students to include only important points in the slide to ensure

that the presentation time is not exceeded. As a rule of thumb, one slide is equivalent

to one minute of presentation time.

However, the whole presentation should contain the following items:

i. An introduction to introduce presenter, the project title, as well as the

supervisor.

ii. An overview of the overall presentation (i.e. structure of the presentation,

outline).

iii. Project background, aim, objectives, and scopes of the project (this should be

enough to cover what has been written in Chapter 1 of the project’s report).

iv. Summary of literature review (as explained in Chapter 2 of the project’s

report).

v. Summary of research/system development methodology. This may include

the data collection techniques such as survey, organization visits, etc. (Chapter 3 and

Chapter 4).

vi. List of software and hardware that are required to develop the project.

vii. Summary of initial findings during FYP1. For instance, analysis of data

collected from survey, or perhaps initial interface design of the proposed

system (Chapter 5).

viii. Discussion on FYP2 execution plan.

ix. Conclusion of the presentation.

Page 23: HANDBOOK - WordPress.com · 14/07/2017  · 1 1. INTRODUCTION Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year undergraduate students of UniMy

17

Students are advised to follow the subsequent good practices for their projects’ presentations:

i. Arrive early for the presentation.

ii. Limit the use of text in slides and make sure there is no spelling error.

iii. Include more figures, pictures, charts, etc.

iv. Have eye contact with the audiences.

v. Dress according to the UniMy’s student dress code.

vi. Speak clearly. Do not mumble.

vii. Manage the presentation time so that there is ample time for Q&A session.

viii. Practice beforehand.

ix. Do not forget to thank the audience for listening.

3.2 FYP1 Project Report

3.2.1 Introduction

Students undertaking FYP1 course must submit a written report at the end of the semester,

according to the schedule prepared by the FYP Committee. The report is the result of the project

work that has been conducted and will be assessed by panel of evaluators. Evaluators will only award

credit for good quality writing. Therefore students should produce clear and concise reports.

Relevant notations, terminology and computer science knowledge should be used throughout the

report. This chapter only provide general guidelines for writing the report. For a more details

description and guideline, please refer to the Final Year Project Report Guideline document.

3.2.2 FYP1 Report Structure

3.2.3 FYP1 Report General Guideline

The general guideline for thesis writing is as follows:

i. Do not cut and paste information from original sources. Instead students must use

their own words in restating statements from books or general/public information.

ii. Write in a concise and clear manner that is easily understood. Refrain from

long running sentences.

iii. Use words and sentences that convey exact meanings; and refrain from

ambiguous statements.

iv. Every abbreviation must be written in its complete form in the abbreviation

list. In the text, the first usage of the group of words to be abbreviated must

be written clearly and in full, followed by the abbreviation in brackets as

shown in example below.

The Unified Modeling Method (UML) is used…

On subsequent usage, the abbreviation may be used on its own.

v. Sections and sub-sections should be written in a logical sequence.

Page 26: HANDBOOK - WordPress.com · 14/07/2017  · 1 1. INTRODUCTION Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year undergraduate students of UniMy

20

vi. Ensure continuity of sentences, paragraphs, sections and the overall report.

a. Figures and tables are numbered in sequence following the chapters, not

sections. Example, for Chapter 3 :

o Figures should be numbered starting with Figure 3.1, followed by Figure

3.2, Figure 3.3 and so on.

o Tables for Chapter 3 will follow the same sequence, Table 3.1, Table 3.2,

Table 3.3 and so on.

vii. Main information and analysis are put in the body of the report, while

supportive information and analysis are added as appendix.

viii. The maximum number of pages for the report, excluding appendix and initial pages :

- FYP1 : maximum 50 pages

- FYP2 : maximum 100 pages

- Permission must be granted by the FYP Committee if this maximum is

exceeded.

To construct the title of a project:

i. Must mirror the content

ii. Must reflect problem solution

iii. Usage of technology name in title only needed if technology is novel

3.2.4 Plagiarism and Cheating

Plagiarism and cheating are regarded as very serious offences. In cases where cheating is

confirmed, students shall be severely penalized, from losing all marks for an assignment, to facing

disciplinary action at the university level.

In UniMy, cheating means seeking to obtain an unfair advantage in any examination or any

other written or practical work to be submitted or completed by a student for assessment. It includes

the use of any means to gain an unfair advantage for any assessable work in the unit, where the

means is contrary to the instructions for such work.

Page 27: HANDBOOK - WordPress.com · 14/07/2017  · 1 1. INTRODUCTION Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year undergraduate students of UniMy

21

When you submit a dissertation, which consist of a program, a report, an essay, or other piece

of work, under your name you are understood to be stating that this is your own work. If a submission

is identical with, or similar to, someone else's work, an assumption of cheating may arise. If you are

planning on working with another student, it is acceptable to undertake research together, and

discuss problems, but it is not acceptable to jointly develop or share solutions unless this is specified

by your lecturer.

Intentionally providing students with your solutions to assignments is classified as "assisting

to cheat" and students who do this may be subject to disciplinary action. You should take reasonable

care that your solution is not accidentally or deliberately obtained by other students. For example,

do not leave copies of your work in progress on the hard drives of shared computers, and do not

show your work to other students. If you believe this may have happened, please be sure to contact

your lecturer as soon as possible.

Plagiarism is a form of dishonesty. Plagiarism involves the false representation of another

person's ideas, or findings, as your own by either copying material or paraphrasing without citing the

sources. All sources should be cited and all quotations from the works of other authors clearly

identified as such. It is both professional and ethical to reference clearly the ideas and information

that you have used from another writer. If the source is not identified, then you have plagiarized

work of the other author.

3.2.5 FYP1 Report Binding

In Week 7, all students are required to submit three (3) copies of their FYP1 report to the

committee for evaluation. The binding format for the report is as follows :

i. The report cover page :

a. Paper color : blue (advisable : the same blue as in UniMy logo)

b. Format : as shown in the in Final Year Project Report Guideline.

ii. Binding : comb-bind

Page 28: HANDBOOK - WordPress.com · 14/07/2017  · 1 1. INTRODUCTION Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year undergraduate students of UniMy

22

The report must be printed on A4-sized paper preferably using laser-jet printer. The two (2)

copies report will not be returned, so it is advisable for the student to print an extra copy for self-

reference.

3.3 FYP1 Project Evaluation

3.3.1 Introduction

This chapter outlines evaluation criteria for FYP1. Students must read the following evaluation

criteria so that they are aware about the marking schemes and able to fulfill all the required

assessment criteria. The evaluation criteria listed in this section is applicable to both type of FYP –

development and research track.

3.3.2 FYP1 Evaluation Components

Evaluation of FYP1 is divided into 2 components – the supervisor and the evaluators with each

component carries 60% and 40% weightage respectively. In general, Table 3.2 shows the evaluation

criteria for FYP1.

Each criteria as mentioned in Table 3.2 will be assessed based on the identified sub-

criteria. Each sub-criteria will be given point based on non-uniform mark range assessment. Each

point will then be normalized according to the mark stated in Table 3.2.

Appendix C, Appendix D and Appendix E show the respective evaluation form for each sub-

criteria. Students are encouraged to refer these evaluation forms as guideline throughout the

implementation of FYP1.

4. FINAL YEAR PROJECT 2 (FYP2)

This section outline the major procedures which need to be followed by the students,

supervisors and evaluators. These procedures must be followed in ensuring the success of FYP2.

4.1 FYP2 Execution Procedure

In general, FYP2 starts when the students register for the course at the beginning of the

semester if they have successfully passed the FYP1 in the previous semester. Figure 4.1 illustrates the

overall procedures of FYP2.

4.1.1 Registration

It is important to mention here that students are not automatically registered to undertake

FYP2 even though they have completed and passed FYP1. Normal registration procedure still needs

to be done and the failure to register will result in disqualification to undertake FYP2.

4.1.2 FYP2 Briefing

In Week 1, a briefing session chaired by the FYP Coordinator will be held as introductory class

for all registered students. The briefing session will explain the FYP2 calendar, flow of process and

procedures of FYP2, and other important matters related to FYP2. Students’ attendance are

compulsory.

4.1.3 FYP2 Project Progress Evaluation

Students are required to regularly demonstrate their project development updates to their

supervisors. Project progress is compulsory and is evaluated as part of FYP2 grade. This demo also

acts as a benchmark for the supervisor to decide whether the students will proceed with the final

presentation.

26

4.1.4 Supervision Meeting and Log Book

It is the responsibilities of the students to meet and discuss the progress of the project with

his/her supervisor regularly. This will help the students to execute their project according to the

faculty’s procedure and standards. Most important is the supervisor will be able to guide the students

in achieving the objectives and goals of the projects.

Students are required to arrange for a minimum of 6 formal meetings with their supervisor

before they are allowed to submit the final report and present the FYP2. All meetings must be

recorded in a log book (refer to Appendix F) and supervisor’s signature of approval for each meeting

is required.

4.1.5 FYP2 Report Submission

Each student is required to submit their project report for evaluation. Supervisor’s approval

is required before submitting the report to the committee. The submission must also includes :

i. FYP2 report - 3 copies

ii. FYP Submission Form - 1 copy (please refer to Appendix B)

iii. FYP Log Book - 1 copy (please refer to Appendix F)

iv. FYP2 Evaluation Form – Supervisor - 1 copy (please refer to Appendix H)

v. FYP2 Evaluation Form – Examiner 1 - 1 copy (please refer to Appendix I)

vi. FYP2 Evaluation Form – Examiner 2 - 1 copy (please refer to Appendix J)

Late submission is totally prohibited. The committee has the authority to reject any late

submission and the student will not be allowed to present his/her FYP2.

Page 33: HANDBOOK - WordPress.com · 14/07/2017  · 1 1. INTRODUCTION Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year undergraduate students of UniMy

27

4.1.6 FYP2 Presentation Week

FYP2 presentation week is one the most important milestone in FYP2. Students will present

their FYP2 outcome and will be evaluated by a panel of two (2) evaluators / examiners appointed by

the FYP Committee. The FYP committee will release the presentation schedule a week earlier and all

sessions are open for everyone to attend. The guidelines and procedures for FYP2 presentation are

detailed out in section 4.1.9.

4.1.7 FYP2 Report Correction

At the end of the FYP2 presentation, students will receive a comment or suggestion form from

the examiners. Students are then required to do correction based on the comments. Students are

urged to discuss all comments with their supervisor and take appropriate actions. If required,

corrections made to the report must be endorsed by both supervisor and evaluators.

4.1.8 FYP2 Evaluation

At the end of the semester, each student’s project will be evaluated in determining

that the objectives and scope are adequate and are aligned. Details on the evaluation criteria are

explained in section 4.3.

4.1.9 FYP2 Presentation

Once the final report has been submitted, students need to prepare themselves for the

presentation and demo day. Unlike FYP1, the presentation for FYP2 is only 40 minutes (20 minutes

for slides presentation, 10 minutes for project demo and 10 minutes for the question and answer

session). Only include important points in the slide to make better use of the allocated time. The

presentation should contain the following items:

i. An introduction to introduce presenter, the project title, as well as the supervisor.

Page 34: HANDBOOK - WordPress.com · 14/07/2017  · 1 1. INTRODUCTION Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year undergraduate students of UniMy

28

ii. An overview of the overall presentation (i.e. structure of the presentation, outline).

iii. Project background, aim, objectives, and scopes of the project (Chapter 1).

iv. Summary of literature review and methodology (Chapter 2 and Chapter 3).

v. An overview of design and implementation (Chapter 4).

vi. Summary of results and discussions (Chapter 5).

vii. Conclusion of the project (Chapter 6).

After the presentation, the students are required to demonstrate (demo) their projects. The

aim of the demo is to evaluate the functionalities of the prototype for system based project or to

verify the findings of a research based project. Related questions will be asked by the evaluators

during the demo session.

4.2 FYP2 Project Report

The final report is essential to FYP2. The early chapters, Chapters 1, 2 and 3, are similar to

FYP1. As part of their progress, students are required to submit drafts of Chapter 4 (Design and

Implementation), Chapter 5 (Results and Discussion) and Chapter 6 (Conclusion) to their supervisors

for evaluation. Corrections must be done as required. It is hoped that the quality of the student’s

project report is improved by having the ongoing report assessments. Regarding the draft of FYP2

report, the same report binding is applied as stated in section 3.2.5.

The final hard-bound thesis should be prepared after all the corrections based on comments

by evaluators and the supervisors are done. The color of thesis cover page is black and the font color

is gold. Please ensure that the endorsement forms are completed and submitted. Students must

prepare at least three (3) copies of hard-bound thesis (1 each for student, supervisor and UNIMY

library) and three (3) sets of DVD/CDs. The DVD/CDs must contain the following items:

i. Thesis document (format: doc/docx and pdf)

ii. Abstract (format: pdf)

iii. Prototype

iv. Source code

v. Poster

Page 35: HANDBOOK - WordPress.com · 14/07/2017  · 1 1. INTRODUCTION Final Year Project (FYP) is a compulsory course to be taken by all registered final year undergraduate students of UniMy

29

The failure to submit the thesis along with the DVD/CDs will result in the suspension of the

students’ results.
