Naturally, birds tend to build their nest near to the place with food resources. This is called
'Home Range'. Many consequences happen when the birds reside on human neighbourhood.
Some of the birds tends to bring unhealthy environment and biological hazard to human such
as the effect of bird droppings that able to contribute to lung cancer and unclean environment.
This project aims to develop bird repellent device using Internet of Thing (IoT) system. The
adaption of IoT in this project purposely to assist user in bird’s detection and calculate the
system effectiveness. This project controlled by NodeMCU assisted with PIR sensor and
ultrasound devices. The PIR sensor (motion sensor) detect the present of bird that enclosed to
the device in range 0-7 meter. Then the number of birds can be counted by using the IoT system
pre and post of ultrasound frequency activation. The project can be activated by turn on the
ultrasound device and the NodeMCU system. Before ultrasound was activated, the IoT system
will send the pre-data (total number of birds) to user by using Blynk Application. After an hour,
the ultrasound devices then be activated, and the user received the post-data. The notification
"bird detect" appeared on Blynk application once the system detects presence of birds. Result
found the efficiency of the ultrasound bird repellent system was 81.2%. The response of
notification at the Blynk application was 4 to 5 seconds upon detection of birds. Since birds’
movement were dynamics, the project still can be improved by using multiple devices in the
same area. Furthermore, the use of drone might be useful to get the accurate radius of birds’
detection. As a conclusion, this project significantly found able to reduce the number of birds
with the assistant of IoT system and thus reduced biological hazard contamination carried out
by wild birds.

Covid-19 is an ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 caused by severe acute
respiratory, this virus has infected millions of people and resulted in the loss of lives. Toilets
may be an important source of COVID-19 spread, according to Joseph Allen, associate
professor of exposure assessment science at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. When
toilet was flushed, whatever is in that toilet including viruses and bacteria can also spread
around the room, linger in the air, and settle onto surfaces in the bathroom, creating the
potential for transmission. According to WHO, Covid-19 can be transmitted directly through
contact with surfaces, airborne, and in a confined place like the toilet. A development of
automatic sanitizer and contactless flush toilet system is reported here. Quantitative result
shown that cleaning a toilet with a household cleaner that contains soap or detergent reduces
the number of germs on surfaces and decreases risk of infection from surfaces. This project is
developed to create a contactless and virus free toilet system, the ultrasonic sensor used to
detect a person entering the toilet. The flush and sanitize system automatically activated when
the person leaves. Microcontroller will send a signal to servo motor to flush, and water pump
to sanitize the toilet. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) used to
display toilet status for maintenance notification system using Wifi module via Telegram apps.
Pushbutton is used to send notification if problem occurs in the toilet and automatically send a
notification when sanitizer liquid is out of order. LCD will display a real time information
regarding the system status. The result of this system shows a positive outcome even the
average error percentage is below 15%. A theoretical analysis backed by observations
indicates that this system can benefit many people in stopping the Covid -19 spread. Hence
improving the toilet system at hospitals or clinics that need maximum hygiene as it is more
prone to bacteria and viruses. Furthermore, the maintenance notification system can lead to
quick notice.

Nowadays, many people dealing with memory loss problem, this project will help regarding
number of raka’ah during prayers by counting the number of prostrations, and there are also
other features where it can count the number of heartbeats while prostration. First of all, most
people out there forget the number of rak'ah during prayer whether they suffer from memory
loss or delusion during also some people do not believe that every movement of prayer has a
scientific advantage. The main purpose of this project is to avoid people from doing mistake
while prayer, maybe people can say “why don’t just ask for help from other to count the number
of raka’ah” but sometimes it will be inconvenient for some parties so this product can be
handled by user without other people help. Besides that, this project will monitor heartbeat
readings so they can determine their heart health. This project will count the number of
prostrations every time the user touches the sensor, so the number displayed will increase each
time the sensor was touch by the user and it same goes for heartbeat readings. Generally, this
project has two functions by using the sense of touch, first to count the number of prostrations
and the second function which is to count the heartbeat readings. We use a sensor that use the
concept of “reflection” to measure the heartbeat. The intended of reflection is the light from
LED on the sensor will enter the fingertip after that it will reflect the result of absorption from
fingertip to the photodetector, so the photodetector will give the heartbeat reading. The results
from the number of prostrations are similar with all the seven testimonies, so it shows the
prostration counter can function well, but not for the heartbeat readings the recorded readings
show that seven of them give all different results, but it is not a big deal, and we assumed every
person have a different heart rate so that is why the result is different. In conclusion, this project
is functioning well the results we get from the project also are as we expect. In addition, we
also use another measurement tool such as digital counter, to count the number of prostration
and pulse oximeter (got approval by MDA) to count the heartbeat reading, and the result of the
product are same as use the other tools.

Buffet trays are very important in the food industry where they are used by hotels, restaurants,
and markets. Most of them will employ a metal buffet tray with a manually operated cover.
Sometimes, consumers forget to close the lid and meals served on a conventional tray would
ultimately turn cold. This problem can expose food to an environment that contains various
types of germs or bacteria that cause food poisoning to humans. Therefore, the implementation
of the proposed method based on the innovative buffet trays can improve the quality of food
and increase the use of buffet tray automatically. The proposed method used in this project is
where open and close an autonomous buffet tray by detecting human hand movements. It also
has a heater to keep the meal warm. The major goal of the innovative buffet trays is to protect
food from flies and dirt, as many stalls are placed along the roadside. Therefore, this project
able to assist in resolving the issue. Open Sesame! Buffet Tray uses an ATmega2560
microcontroller board with two inputs: an Ultrasonic sensor to detect human hand distance and
a limit switch to regulate two outputs: an LED and a 16×2 LCD. For the prototype, the LED
will act as a food heat lamp, and the LCD will show phrases based on the status of the limit
switch. A DC motor to opens and closes the tray's lid. The results also show that this project
has a good influence and a functional prototype that helps people open and close the lid
automatically by detecting hand movements only after the Ultrasonic sensor controls the DC
motor by sensing the human hand. Keep food warm to prevent it from being poisoned by using
LEDs as food heat lamps. When the lid is opened and closed, the LCD displays “AYAM
GORENG RM 2.00” and “BON APPETIT!” to greet the customer. The proposed method is
superior in terms of improving the product innovation system and food quality. This project is
more complex and employs newer technologies and it can keep food clean and free of
microorganisms. The heat also keeps food from spoiling. Also, during the Covid-19 outbreak,
this buffet tray helps prevent individuals from touching the same lid, which can spread the
virus. This is important since the Covid-19 virus is easily disseminated via touch. Implications
of the results and future research directions are also presented.

Hydroponics is basically an alternative of soilless planting whereby it is using a nutrient
solution in a water solvent to replace the soil to provide nutrient. Hydroponics require a closed
and recirculating system to uptake their nutrient solution. Important parameters require and
control on plants are namely Electrical Conductivity, EC (nutrients content), pH, surrounding’s
temperature, and illuminance. Vertical hydroponics is an alternative agricultural approach to
limited space, land or infertile soil which eventually reducing the cost. Hydroponics require a
closed and recirculating system to uptake their nutrients solution. Moreover, monitor and
control a nutrient level to a water solvent must be carefully and troublesome. A user requires
spend much time to monitor especially in large scale hydroponics. Thus, this system can
facilitate such matters. Vertical hydroponics is an approach to limited space, land or infertile
soil which eventually increasing production. Equipping IoT Technology can facilitate
monitoring and controlling of nutrient level. This system will provide autonomous hydroponic
system with open source to reduce cost and time spending. This project was initially carried
out to monitor and control the nutrient level. The monitoring system is designed for
hydroponics that use deep flow technique (DFT). DFT is a type of hydroponic gardening where
the water solvent is continuously flowing and recirculating in the system. IoT is also equipped
to make the system user-friendly. The developed system was able to remotely monitor the
hydroponic farm. The accuracy of pH, and EC (nutrient) sensors are ±4.4 % and ±5.2 %
respectively. This project has impact in several aspects. The Vertical Smart Hydroponics
Monitoring System has been designed and achieved. hence, this project can facilitate the users
to monitor hydroponic system especially in large-scale with competitive cost.

We all believe that education is essential in building a brighter future. So, we have innovated
our way to construct a state-of-the-art board game that is perfected to be used by anyone and
everyone. In that manner, our purpose is to bring the advances of today’s education available
to everyone all around the globe for the greater good of the humankind. One of the main
problems is educational based games are too subject niche, where these kinds of games offer
very limited flexibility in terms of exchanging domains. In this framework, justifying the cost
of an educational game for a single subject specifically to a small group becomes irrational.
The main objectives of LeCo, is of course the gamification of education as well as to provide
an affordable platform for students and educational institutions to implement a new approach
for a more dynamic medium for learning. Based on our reviews collected by the distributions
of our feedback forms, we have seen that some of the problems that are being faced by the
majority of school students that are being mentioned are the lack of time for study, difficulty
in finding what is there to study, and how to study a particular subtopic. Based on those
respective problems we created Leco particularly to solve all those problems in only one
application. This is done by analyzing each student's score for each subtopic that they have
learned in their school syllabus. In this way LeCo has not just made students have more time
for their studies but also makes them study efficiently during that time. In order to adapt
towards these limitations, we came out with LeCo (Learning Companion), a revolutionary
educational-based board game that implements QR codes as an interactive medium in the form
of swappable cards. LeCo consists of a board, swappable QR-code cards and app that serves
as an interactive game moderator. Where we have tested an experimental proof of concept and
a working prototype in Kolej MARA Seremban with a sample of 60 students of 3 different
classes. Our testing has been proven to make an overall positive impact on these students. Our
product has been tested to have a positive impact on students’ productivity and stress
management. In comparison to other available educational games, our product gives the best
bang for buck for a wide range of subjects. In our final analysis, we have innovated our way to
construct a state-of-the-art board game that is perfected to be used by anyone and everyone. As
based on our business model canvas, our initial primary target markets would be students from
MRSM. As per surveyed there are 58 MRSM which will be the first targeted by LeCo by this
stage subjects as Physics, Chemistry and maths will be emphasis and thus can be marketed for
secondary school students in general. As per long term prospects, LeCo will be soon used for
learners from all age and background such as preschool children and college students.

Examination management system need a product to enhance the process of distributing
additional paper to candidates to save human energy, save time and user friendly. Problem
faced by examination invigilators to carry the additional paper and walk around to distribute
additional paper to candidates and at the same time they need to monitor the other candidate’s
engagement. Problem faced by candidate is they need to raise their hand and wait until
invigilators notice them, then wait for the invigilators to deliver the additional paper. This will
impact to waste of time to deliver and wait for the paper, waste of work and energy to carry
and distribute paper in examination. Wireless Mobile Additional Paper Distributor for
Examination Hall (WIMO) is created as the solution. WIMO is a robot that can carry and
deliver additional paper to student. It will carry the additional paper and distribute paper. This
project can reduce the number of invigilators in the examination hall because the distribution
work is replaced by WIMO. Invigilator only need to press button whenever student need extra
paper. Then the robot will send the paper to student. Initially research was carried out through
a discussion and presentation with nearby school and MJII examination unit for determine the
best solutions. Based on this, WIMO is developed with two main parts, the delivering robot
and the remote control. The component used are microcontroller, Bluetooth module, dc motor,
motor driver, push button and infrared sensor. The result proven that WIMO able to carry and
deliver the paper to candidates. It took only two seconds for delivering paper within 1 meter of
range and can carry 500g of paper which reduce the waiting time of candidates. The process of
distributing additional paper become easier because the distributing work is replaced by WIMO
which save invigilators works, energy and time. WIMO provide an effective examination
management system. As a conclusion, the problems faced by invigilator and candidates during
examination is solve with the innovated WIMO. It improves the examination process in

Garbage Collection management system need an improvement to provide a clean and healthy
environment. Problem faced by most garbage collection company is the existing manual
garbage collection monitoring system cannot ensure that garbage collection activities are
carried out as schedule. Lots of complaints received about late and uncollected garbage.
Uncollected garbage will lead to an overflow garbage and produce a dirty environment, health
problems, unpleasant odours, attract flies and rodents. These will create uncomfortable
residents feel to live in that residential area. To solve the problem Real Time Garbage
Collection Monitoring System Based IoT (REWAMS) is developed utilizing Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) technology and Wireless technology with the ability to record and store
garbage collection information with the garbage level indicator. REWAMS will improve the
manual excel form report prepared by the garbage collector company. Real time information
about the collection activities will help the collection company to take immediate action if the
garbage is not collected as schedule. The indicator of garbage level will alert the collector to
prevent overflow of garbage. Initially, a research interview has been made with KDEB Waste
Management company to understand the real situation and finding the best solution. REWAMS
use RFID associated with Wi-Fi module for data acquisition, ultrasonic sensor for detecting
level of garbage and MySQL for Database. Real-time garbage collection information, such as
the date, time, driver identity and the garbage level will be prepared by the system by internet
of Things (IoT). The result proven that REWAMS have solve the garbage collection problem
by creating real time record of date, time, driver identity for better monitoring system and give
indicator of the garbage level to alert the collector for immediate action. It improves the manual
report, reduce human error, and use of paper. To conclude, REWAMS solved the problem of
monitoring garbage collection activities by providing the real time information. REWAMS

As we all know, the old lawn mower has some problems. Among them, the old lawn mower
needs to use gasoline fuel to function. This causes a big problem for residents who live in rural
areas or located far from the gas station facilities to get this fuel. In addition, the current selling
price level of this fuel is increasing. This conventional lawn mower also emits noise and can
interfere with the hearing of residents in the surrounding area. Therefore, as one of the solutions
to the problem, we have innovated the old lawn mower to the new named "Solar Grass Cutter"
(SGC). This lawn mower does not use fuel to function because as it has been replaced with a
more natural use of solar energy. In addition, our SGC lawn mower does not emit noisy and
disruptive hearing compared to previous the lawn mowers. In line with that, we have tested the
use of this SGC lawn machine in the yard of some residents around the Kuala Nerus area which
is an area of approximately 30 feet long and 30 feet wide. As a result of this project, the
respondents are expressed their happiness, satisfaction, and opinion that the use of this "Solar
Grass Cutter" (SGC) lawn machine can overcome all three problems.

Streetlights are supplied by TNB on the road but there are also rural areas that are not supplied
with streetlights. This will result in an increase in criminal cases such as snatch theft, rape, and
robbery. Among the problems we have identified is that there are still many rural areas that are
not supplied with streetlights. In addition, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) must bear high costs
for the installation of cables to supply electricity. This project is made to achieve the following
objectives, generate electricity using solar systems .Using an Arduino system with the help of
solar panels to turn on street lights, As an alternative to existing street lighting systems, apply
the website (Thingspeak) to turn on the lights, turn on the Light Emitting Diode (LED) light
remotely using the website, BSL is a street lighting project that can help the community now
by being equipped with advanced solar systems and the use of wifi, this BSL project can assist
areas to obtain street lighting assets using renewable solar energy, reduce road risk, able to
reduce criminal cases such as snatching, rape and so on. The methodology of the study was
based on existing systems on street lights with micro controller system and solar power supply.
The selection of the concept idea is based on the characteristics appropriate to the product to
be produced. This BSL has a wide brightness radius. moreover, with an environment that is not
supplied with a source of electricity, we hope this BSL can alleviate the problems that occur.
By using this BSL, other road users will not have difficulty installing high lights to see the road
due to the lack of electricity supply. In addition, we have used a multimeter for the purpose of
testing the voltage rating to ensure the rating is 12 V. We also use a solar charger controller to
make it easier for users to know the voltage supplied to the lamp and we use the thing speak
website if users are not near the project, users can still see the received voltage rating and know
if the lamp is still on or off. Once the study is done, it can be concluded that each project that
has been carried out has a different method in terms of components used, the way it operates,
and the software programmed. Each formed item is recorded for the simplest solution with the
developed project. In addition to the easy -to -find components and the timeframe set for the
completion of the project. The use of affordable and quality materials is used to avoid expensive
costs. In general, the things that need to be given full attention are the operation of the project,
safety, tools used, shapes and features used. Overall, this study has helped us a lot to get
information and ideas in developing the project in terms of the system and design of the project.
It is hoped that this tool can benefit users or the community that uses it, although there are some
shortcomings that occur about this tool.

Malaysians are seen to be interested in bonsai plant, as a hobby or as a business because of its
potential to be commercialized. The basic care of bonsai is easy. Add the element of water,
fertilization and expose to sunlight where it is important for the process of photosynthesis and
respiration thus ensuring that the bonsai remains healthy. Most bonsai tree is killed by improper
watering than by all other causes combined. Bonsai soil should allow for water to drain freely
but still allow for some moisture retention. If they overwater their bonsai may suffer from a
condition known as Root Rot which is often fatal. Apart from water element & soil moisture,
Bonsai, requiring the care of a proper temperature regime. Hence, a monitoring & irrigation
project for Bonsai plant using NodeMCU and Blynk application has been proposed and
developed. The proposed project is named – Bonsai Care. The project was developed to
monitor the outdoor bonsai condition which includes the temperature, soil moisture and
humidity. It consists of essential care specifically for outdoor bonsai plant which includes
sensing unit, control unit and irrigation system. DHT11 and soil moisture sensor are the sensing
unit, whilst NodeMCU is main controller for the control unit used to receive data from the
sensors and connect with the Blynk apps in mobile phone via Wi-Fi. DHT11 sensor is used for
temperature and humidity level measure whereas the moisture sensor is for soil monitoring so
that the correct amount of irrigation can be determined. The sensing unit interfaced to the
Arduino board to display the current temperature and humidity reading of a particular root zone
via LCD display and Blynk Apps. From the results obtained, the threshold can be set such that
the water pump will automatically turn on when the moisture sensor reading is below than
40%. The threshold can be vary depending on the location or region. This project been carried
out as a prototype. The system can be extended by using WSN nodes for transmit data, also
using database to store the data at the field. The overall system can be powered up using solar
cells to maintain the system in low cost.

In this era of Covid19 pandemic, people have started to realize the importance of eating safe
food. Many companies are forced to shut down, and this has caused many employees to become
unemployed. In order to save budget on food, people have begun to produce their own food
agriculturally. As a start, the materials required to plant fruits and vegetable are seeds and seed
tray. Common seed trays sold in the market are made of plastic. In time, the trays will likely
break after being used repeatedly. The broken plastic seed tray will usually be disposed in the
garbage bin or anywhere on the ground by irresponsible individuals. As we know, recycling
awareness has not reached a commendable standard among Malaysians and the plastics seed
trays might be improperly disposed and this may likely affect our environment. Disposable
plastic trays release harmful chemicals into the soil, groundwater, surrounding environment,
and later, many animals may be put at greater risk when they eat them. Plastics take years to
be decomposed. Therefore, this justifies the solution for a creative, environment-friendly
invention known as Biodegradable Seed Trays (BST). It is made of recycled papers and starch
flour. The use of BST is easy: simply sow plant seeds on the seed trays. When the seeds start
to germinate and the seedlings are ready to be transplanted, we can transplant the seedlings
together with the seed tray into the soil. As the BST decompose, they will nourish soil with
organic matters which improve soil quality, soil fertility and beneficial for soil microorganisms
which later, help the plants to absorb water and nutrients more efficiently. There would be no
broken seed trays and plastics wastes anymore. The issue of minimizing the use of plastic seed
trays is solved by using the innovation of BST. This innovation potentially improves plants
quality with the addition of papers as raw materials that will be decomposed and become the
source of organic matters in the soil. Interestingly, these BST can be purchased at RM3 per
unit.

With the recent upheavals in the teaching and learning process due to the Covid-19 pandemic,
online learning has become a pertinent aspect in Malaysia's education system at present. Easy
Imaginary Table (“EIT”) research introduces a new strategy for an effective approach in
simplifying the ^ imaginary number, when ‘n’ is greater than 2, to stimulate student's
cognitive development. Simplifying imaginary numbers is the subtopic for students in form 6,
matriculations, polytechnics, universities, and for semester 1 diploma students in vocational
colleges. Majority of vocational college students scored D, E, and F in their PT3, and they
seemed to be having difficulties and confusion in understanding this concept, as contextualized
in the vocational college syllabus. This can be revealed from students finding it complex to
simplify such imaginary numbers. Besides, students get confused as there is no alternative in
solving the problems, it is also a challenge for students to find the right solution. EIT is here to
solve these issues, as it is an easier and accessible method in simplifying the imaginary number
^n, when n is greater than 2. This is an effective teaching strategy to help students learn and
master the concept of simplifying the imaginary number. As such, our teachers invented an
easy-to-understand EIT approach. This innovation is designed to assist weaker students by
using an engaging teaching method. Our sample size for our research is a class of 20 students.
We deploy techniques like observation, test completion, and interviews. Before the
introduction of EIT, only 57% of them were able to answer accurately in 57 seconds. They
were then exposed to EIT teaching aid and subsequent tests have shown significant
improvement among them. Through interviews, students responded that EIT has helped them
to better understand simplifying the imaginary number. The system has helped a great deal,
especially during online learning. EIT is proven time-saving. Towards the end of the semester,
a significant improvement that is 90% of students can answer correctly in an average of 22
seconds. Additionally, EIT can be applied in addition, subtraction & multiplication problems.

The number of vehicles in Malaysia is increasing day by day. This leads to increased gas
pollution. Toxic and unhealthy gases will be produced by the exhaust of vehicles such as cars
and buses. Poor ventilation systems or leakage problems in the car's air ducts can give way to
toxic gases entering the vehicle's passenger compartment slowly. One of the toxic gases
produced is carbon monoxide (CO) and is one of the most difficult gases to detect by the human
senses. Therefore, the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Pollution Level Monitoring System in
Vehicles or known as ECO has been developed to help vehicle owners detect CO gas in
vehicles. The system applies the use of a microcontroller to monitor the CO gas reading data
in real-time using a smartphone. To use this device, the user needs to install this device inside
the car and connect it to the power source and power window motor. Users need to make a
connection to Wi-Fi to enable the IoT function. Whenever the device detects smoke and carbon
monoxide while the car engine still running, the device will automatically open the car window
to let the smoke or gas out, the LCD will show the percentage of smoke or carbon monoxide
inside the car and the connected IoT device will show the analog reading value of both gases
inside the car. Besides being used as a data display, IoT devices can also be used to control the
car window opening. This project successfully detected the rate of CO gas and smoke in
vehicles. Users can easily see the percentage rate (%) of Carbon Monoxide gas and Smoke
Content on the LCD of the main box of the system. When there is excessive gas content, which
is more than the safe standard limits, then the hardware and applications will start giving danger
warnings. It is hoped that this system can reduce the death rate due to CO poisoning and can
ensure the air cleanliness of vehicles is controlled.

This is a cooperation project between JMTI with AKTY Technologies Sdn. Bhd. From few
discussions between JMTI and AKTY company has resulted in designing a machine on how
to improve the purification process of ferrite-based products. The ferrite-based products from
the cutting process need to be cleaned using isopropyl alcohol (IPA). This process is needed to
wash away the cutting cooling effect from the coolant and ferrite-burr. Washing is done
manually by shaking wire-meshed basket in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution. Workers who
work 8 hours a day, will be exposed to the side effects of isopropyl alcohol used and easily
becomes fatigue especially in the hands after continuing shaking the basket. Problems that
arose are worker safety issues, inconsistent timing, and quality of the cleaned products.
Furthermore, automatic shaking machine is designed to minimize safety issues to workers who
perform cleaning work manually and increase productivity by reducing re-work. The objectives
of this project are to build a shaker machine for cleaning process done automatically. Workers
will no longer exposed to the dangers of chemical solution. In turn, this machine is capable of
increasing productivity by shortening the product washing time below 10 minutes in one wash.
The overall system is controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller. The washing process
uses an Ultrasonic generator, and the sifting process uses the principle of cam and follower
movement. Two ways normally closed (NC) solenoid valve will control the flow of water into
the machine. The washing time and speed can be adjusted according to the desired process.
This machine can do cleaning 2000 pieces of product per cycle and has been tested at AKTY
Sdn Bhd's factory for 6 months and the results are the cleaning process can be done
automatically, workers are no longer exposed to chemical solutions during the product cleaning
process, the purification time is shortened from 10 minutes to 7 minutes per cycle and no more
re-work is done. This machine has been used in AKTY Sdn. Bhd. and the productivity of the
cleaning process has increased by 20%.

Institute Pendidikan Mara (IPMA) is MARA educational institution such as University Kuala
Lumpur and Kolej University Poly-Tech MARA. IPMA offered higher education levels for
students who wish to further studies. Educations in Malaysia have started from pre-school,
primary school, and secondary school. The secondary school requires students to take the SPM
examination which is a final school assessment. SPM results are commonly used for eligible
students to enter Higher Education Institution (HEI). Once the SPM results announcement is
released, the common problem is the students have difficulties deciding which HEI provides
the best educational services and could lead them to their dream career path. This project
proposes i-Search College Finder, a mobile application for students to apply to IPMA colleges,
and a mobile-friendly application for IPMA courses advertisement. The mobile-friendly
application advertises all the IPMA courses and the provided facilities in one single platform.
Students can download the i-Search College finder mobile application to register in IPMA
colleges. The i-Search College Finder has the functionalities to give recommendations on the
suitable courses and career paths according to student’s SPM results. The student could make
decision based on the suggested list of IPMA courses and facilities. The students could also
search and compare a few IPMA colleges and courses before sending their registration
applications to the preferred IPMA colleges. The IPMA colleges mobile-friendly application
has the features to manage the students’ information who registered in their colleges. In
conclusion, students will have the idea of which IPMA courses match their SPM results, and
at the same time, IPMA could advertise their courses to attract more student enrolment in their
institutions.

Citizens nowadays are environmentally conscious, which drives them to seek out ecologically
friendly products to use on a regular basis. They demand things that are manufactured without
harming the environment. This project will make a biodegradable paper from oil palm fronds
which will then turn into a food packaging. Oil palm is one of the most well-known and widely
grown plant groups, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia. Oil palm is used in a variety of
products and foods, making it one of the most economically important plants. This has led to
the accumulation of oil palm waste which causes environmental problems. This project will
create biodegradable paper from oil palm fronds, which will then be used to make food
packaging. This project was carried out because oil palm waste has caused environmental
pollution such as air pollution and soil pollution due to the decomposition of the waste. This
product will prevent the accumulation of oil palm waste, thereby directly addressing the
environmental impact. Initially, research was carried out to determine the effect of oil palm
waste on the environment. From the justification, this product was developed by creating paper
using oil palm brooms. The brooms will be mixed with water and mashed into pulp. The pulp
will next be poured into a mould and formed into the shape of a paper. The pulp will then be
dried in a room temperature to produce paper which will turned into food packaging. The paper
created from the product is used to create biodegradable and eco-friendly food packaging. The
outcome has a positive impact, which benefits both the environment and the end user in a
variety of ways. To conclude, the accumulation of oil palm waste can be solved with the
innovated food packaging hence reducing the environmental impact caused by poor handling
of oil palm waste. This project also created a product which is eco-friendly and safe to use.

MJII Mikrotik Student’s Hotspot is an internet access system used by students in the hostels.
The hostels have complex architecture which makes the task to ensure a comprehensive
coverage of Wi-Fi for student is challenging. To overcome limited coverage of Wi-Fi, a
network access point was set up using MikroTik RouterBoard at 11 poles which relies heavily
on solar power, scattered around the hostels. The network server located at MJII’s MikroTik
Academy is set up using hotspot feature with Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
(RADIUS). Therefore, the monitoring and maintenance work for each router need to be done
on site individually and manually. The MJII Mikrotik Student’s Hotspot System used manual
complains platform via WhatsApp and form therefore it is difficult to track down and response
to complaints and inquiries from the user. A web-based system is proposed to enable the system
accessed outside the Local Area Network (LAN) called Internet of Things Hotspot Monitoring
System (IoTHMS). The IoTHMS contain graphical User Interface (GUI) to help network
management. Student can log in complaint or inquiry directly in the same system and enable
admin to track and reply promptly. The system also monitors parameter such as CPU load,
number of users, network connectivity, bandwidth usage and battery level. Dude is
incorporated into the system to monitor connectivity. The project use Application
Programming Interface (API) library via PHP language to interact between MikroTik devices
and the GUI which in this case used to view active users and all the related parameters. The
web server used is a cloud server that enabled the admin to manage their device remotely. The
other aspect for this project is Dude, a feature in MikroTik RouterOS that allows to draw the
network layout by automatically scan all devices within the same subnet. The IoTHMS
implemented improved the quality of service by displaying all parameters as mentioned above.
The system also equipped with voltage monitoring system which is crucial since the system’s
power relies 90% on solar. The network layout monitoring feature provides helpful insight in
term of bandwidth monitoring and detection of network failure via dude. The user complain
system developed enable the system to log any issues or suggestion by user automatically. It
also tracks the new, solved and unresolved complaint. To conclude, the system improves
network administration and maintenance process. Failure of network can be detected almost
immediately and responded by admin promptly.

These days, trend show that people becoming interested in using eco-friendly product. Many
people start to realise and take concern about safety of families and the planet. Therefore, this
project will create an environmentally friendly paper and show the performance of this paper.
In Malaysia, the waste from agricultural becoming enormous especially from oil palm
plantation. The wastes have increased by more than threefold yet the remaining of this waste
material can make environmental issues. Oil palm fronds, which are made up of leaflets and
petioles, are one of the most common waste products in Malaysia's oil palm plantations. When
the palms are trimmed during the harvesting of fresh fruit bunches for oil production, oil palm
fronds are accessible every day of the year. Therefore, this unuseful waste that become a major
problem to handle will be transform into a paper. In beginning, studied about the effect of oil
palm waste to environment been measured. Based on the confirmation, the oil palm brooms
selected in process making of the paper. Oil palm brooms are from oil palm leaflets waste. The
production of paper start with the brooms will be crushed into pulp after being combined with
water. After that, the pulp will be dried to make paper. The paper will next be subjected to
Cobb test to identify the water absorbency of the material. Based on testing process, the
material shows that positive reaction for water absorption. The average rate of absorption is
below 2%. This data show that the material did not absorb water strongly. Furthermore, this
paper with more oil palm broom compared to the starch show the lowest rate of absorption. In
conclusion, the waste of oil palm frond can be controlled yet adding its value into eco-friendly
product. Besides, this material can be fully renewable. Therefore, people can use this product
in future in order to preserve nature for our safety and health.

Several thinking framework success stories are built on the intelligent quotient, bundled with
social and emotional connection (empathy) for the learners/participants. According to the
future of jobs report, about 83% of start-ups fail within a year or two, predominantly due to the
lack on the resilience characteristics (which is the missing link in any of the current thinking
framework) shown by people in the project towards meeting out the performance metrics
(overcoming failures by analysing root causes, not understanding business value). Hence there
is a need for a new thinking framework that add value, and an early adoption of such one within
the university education will develop graduates in the development of new products, process,
and service. The present innovation framework termed CODE (Conceive-Organise-Deploy-
Evolve) is an unlearning modular thinking framework that uses several tools within the four
integrated steps in the solving the challenge (social/engineering/business etc.). The
methodology involves three stages namely, value identification, value managing and value
evolution that is sandwiched between the value perceived (from the challenge) and evaluating
it by synthesizing it. Early understanding on the propositions of the hurdles and boosters will
help to identify the approach needed to arrive at the most appropriate and correct solution.
Several checkpoints and interventions while executing a challenge is very critical in successful
evolution of innovation products and this framework is built with that in mind. Several tools
are successfully developed using this framework in the past few years for teaching learning
research and enterprise solutions. Use of this approach is highly helpful in developing the
people towards building communities, societies, and knowledge nation building.

In large factories, such as automotive factories, they have used painting booths to process
painting. Application of painting booth can prevent hazardous overspray that might causing
fire or explosion. It very important to whom often exposed to harmful paint and fumes by
confining the application of hazardous material. Painting booths commonly have two methods
of use, namely the dry filtration system and the water curtain system. The dry booth used for
painting booths is equipped with an exhaust to filter out harmful paint mist and release it into
clean air. Then the wet booth is different from this dry booth because the system used is water-
based. For example, a water curtain system will collect and remove paint mist using a layer of
water such as a flowing curtain. The importance of this painting booths that it can prevent
ecosystem damage and adversely affect individuals who frequently inhale harmful gases. This
becomes a disadvantage for small companies such as furniture factories, as they do not have a
large space for these painting booths. With this did painting booth, it can provide convenience
to users because of its simple size and ease of movement. Next, the objective for this painting
booth is to create, add new value, and install the project and to test the functionality of this
painting booth. The new added value that has been generated to complete this project is that
the table used for the dry booth has been painted green because the dry booth can also be used
as a mini studio. The purpose is that an individual can capture a picture of the final work from
the painting process by using this painting booth. In addition, this painting booth can also be
used indoor or outdoor areas for the painting process. This is because, if the painting booth is
placed in an outdoor area, the user only needs to use the dry booth and does not need to activate
the water curtain. Therefore, this painting booth is also easy to move because the wheels that
have been provided can make it easier for users to move this painting booth anywhere. The
target customers for this painting booth are for hobbies, technical school, university, gadget
you-tuber mini studio, electronic workbench practitioner and others.

The food cost subject has been introduced to students to create entrepreneurial traits among
them. Food costing is essential as it will determine the profit and loss of a business. Failing to
put on a profitable price to a product will lead to a loss, hence the business will lose its stability.
All sorts of method have been introduced to the students to help them understand better in the
concept of gaining business profitability and to attract their attention to stay focus on
understanding the subject. The food costing learning area is introduced in general at each of
cooking subject for the students of Certificate in Pastry Program at Community College of
Tasek Gelugor. The main objective of the Easy Food Costing System (eFCS) is to provide the
students with better understandings and also to ease hard calculations on certain parts of food
costing. Other than that, the system is also created to give the same learning opportunity to
students with different abilities. The system is designed to shortens the time spent on
calculation of food costs as compared to the conventional way of teaching. It also enables the
students to use it anywhere and anytime with the connection of the internet and will also help
student that wants to start their own business from home (home-baker). Technological
advancements can ease the flow of work and improve the quality, at the same time it also
shortens the time taken, Toth M. J. (et al., 2010). Among the issues that arise, students are often
seen to be less interested in numbers and calculations because the conventional way of teaching
takes a longer time for students to understand the process, makes them confused and then give
up. Through this system, we hope to be able to provide better understanding, shorten the time
spent and motivates the students to become a successful entrepreneur. Through eFCS, the
students are introduced to a shorter method of calculation in a virtual classroom since the
country is deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. A group of 16 respondents had
responded to a questionnaire regarding the system. The scores are between 1-5 scale with 1
being the least agree and 5 being the most agree. The average score for all the questions is
between 4.30 being the lowest score and 4.69 being the highest score. All the students agreed
that the eFCS is being helpful to them and serving its function in ways that the students are
more focus in the calculation concept.

The curry puff is a favourite "kuih" among Malaysians. In the new era of IR 4.0, the automatic
machine is required to produce a high quality and quantity of curry puffs and other pastries.
The preparation method for curry puffs is traditionally by hand or with a plastic crimping mold.
The existing curry puff machines in markets are usually expensive, can only produce small
quantities (6-8 pieces), and are not suitable for SME and semi-large-scale industries. Some of
them are hard to use with complicated manual instructions. The problems of those previous
methods brought about the design and development of the Automatic Curry Puff & Pastry
Crimping Machine (ACPM-MSI). Hence, the curry puffs and pastries can be produced in
higher quantity and quality with very nicer crimping than before. Initially, the research was
carried out to identify the problem with the traditional and current methods of the current
machine via a market survey and literature review. Then, a sketch of the idea was produced
and compared to the morphological chart to determine the best mechanism, materials, cost, etc.
CAD was used to produce the 2D and 3D drawings of the machine. The machine that is
equipped with a pneumatic mechanism was fabricated. Finally, it was tested using real curry
puff to perform its functionality. In this project, there are 7 elements that differentiate between
this curry puff machine and others. The machine was designed using 6 crimping moulds that
are made from plastic (Polypropylene) that are safe for food preparation products. The mould
is strong enough to withstand many cycles of operation. The design of the precious threat in
the mould was used to obtain a very nice crimp. The moulds were located on a simple,
lightweight, easy-to-use and store frame made from aluminium profile. It can be operated with
less energy and time-consuming, and the machine is equipped with push buttons for safety
reasons. The machine can produce 12 pieces of curry puffs per cycle of operation. The machine
can be placed on the table to make it more comfortable for the user to operate it. Therefore, the
automatic curry puff & pastry machine (ACPM-MSI) was successfully developed in this
project. This machine is very suitable for SME industries, street vendors, and online sellers of
either frozen or fresh curry puffs and pastries.

The tennis game is one of the most popular international games. Normally, the equipment for
this game is quite expensive. During the Pandemic COVID-19, the single tennis training
session was optional if the player required the training session. The tennis ball launcher is a
machine or device used to launch the tennis ball, normally during players' practice. The
application of this machine can minimise the user’s effort in terms of energy and time. There
are a variety of tennis ball launchers currently available on the market, comprising multiple
systems of operation as well as product design. A good selection of materials and components
will ensure the sustainability of the machine. Initially, research was carried out using a market
survey and a literature review. Next, the roller mechanism was selected. The machine was
sketched and designed using SOLIDWORKS software. The development continued with the
theoretical calculation, materials selection, fabrication process and testing of the product. There
are several features and advantages of this machine; 1. Small in size (Mini Tennis Ball Machine
500mm x 208mm x 360mm), 2. lightweight (5kg compared to the current product between 17-
19kg), using aluminium profile as its structure, this machine is easy to assemble, 3. A ball-
throwing mechanism comprised of two plastic rollers, 4. Automatic using Arduino’s system
controller (Smartphone), 5. The testing was done to validate the theoretical data with the output
of machine performance, 6. When compared to current market products (RM4,000 to
RM8,000), this is the least expensive launcher machine. The machine is suitable for beginner
and amateur tennis players for training sessions, especially in the era of Pandemic COVID-19.
Hopefully, this product can be commercialized in Malaysia to help single players in their
training sessions.

The design and implementation of a vacuum cleaner for metal isolation is introduced in this
paper. To design and implement the system, two parts had been produced. The first is the re-
design and fabricate the vacuum cleaner and the second is hardware for controlling the vacuum
cleaner operation. After the machinery such as milling and lathe machine is used, the user need
do clean activities. However, they faced the problem for clearing the metal chips at difficult
area of machine. The project is produced as a portable vacuum metal chip and easy to carry in
workshop area. It is equipped with the magnetic solenoid, inductive sensor at the first chamber.
At the second chamber, it is equipped with the filter system at the front of the vacuum metal
chip chamber. The vacuum metal chip cleaning can collect the oil and coolant and separate it
to the clean coolant. Another part is the body which is equipped with the suction pump that can
collect the oil with the coolant water. Early project stage is begun to study mechanical element
for the vacuum cleaner with functioning metal isolation during operational. For more easier
handling, the project is developed as a portable vacuum cleaner with oil filter and metal chips
isolation external part. Implementation of vacuum concept will protect the user from getting
Injured due to the sharp bits of the metal chip during cleaning activities. Normal operational is
determined by 3 parts. First part is a chamber metal is used to measure and detection of metal
chips. Chamber oil filtration as second part to attracts all the excess oil in the coolant so that
only coolant that will be flow and trapped in this chamber. Last part as vacuum tank as dust
bin to simply if any metal chips or oil through it. Installation electrical control for run the
operation. Overall, the metal isolation vacuum cleaner has been successfully designed and
implemented with oil filter and metal chips isolation chamber.
