1.1.  Overview

• Capstone design laboratory to replace the Project/problem based laboratory for 4th Year students beginning Sem. 2015/16/1

• Known as Capstone Project (course code remains as SKEE/L/M 4722) 

• Capstone project is a major component of any engineering curriculum

• Showcase of knowledge and skills acquired over the years of studies, design a product/service of significance, and solve an open-ended problem in electrical engineering

• Satisfies requirement by Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC)

1.2.  Specification

• Needs to have microcontroller AND programming. The project cannot only plug and play. The project also cannot software/program based only.

• Proper casing for the project is mandatory. The end result should resemble a marketable product.

• Faculty only support RM 300 for the project. 

• Apply  at least 1 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) in the project.

• Attendance must be above 80%. If absent, need to provide official UTM letter if join any program or medical certificate (MC) from UTM University Health Centre if you are sick. [Academic Guidelines].

• Additional specification such as minimum number of sensor, internet of things (IoT), and software requirement may differ between C, E, M, and P groups. Refer to coordinators specifications.

 1.3.  Important Notices

• Final Material Submission (Poster, Video, Photo) for EECS needs to be submitted before the set due date, 11 January 2024 11:59PM. Submission after the due date will disqualify you from receiving any of the EECS awards. Your poster also will not be included in the EECS website.

• Peer reviews becomes the weightages for the group work. Fail to submit peer review will result significant grade drop (2 to 3 grade drop). Ask your facilitator to check whether your peer review has been accepted or not.

• For claim purpose, please make sure the documentation is completed. Incomplete documentation will not be process. 

  • Online Purchase: Provide screenshot of the purchase summary in SHOPEE / LAZADA / CYTRON / ELEMENT14 / RS / etc. together with the screenshot of the bank transcript from you online banking website (must clearly show name and purchase transaction).

  • Face to Face Purchase: Provide original receipt only. If the receipt is generic, the receipt needs to be stamp and sign by the shop. If the receipt said invoice (commonly from Top One), highly recommend using debit or credit payment that can produce additional receipt to support the invoice. If the receipt is small and only print 1 side, paste the receipt on A4 paper.

• You are required to do activity related to this course at least 9 hours per week (this include 3 hours meeting with facilitator). This needs to be reflected in the Gantt Chart.

1.5.  CAPSTONE PROCEDURE

Check your name in ALL the TAB of the Google Sheet below.

Group change request by student is not accepted.

All project under different division are equivalent 

(require to design a product with microcontroller to solve problem). 

The different is only on the application of the project (https://www.youtube.com/@eecs4372/playlists)

Besides EECS organized by FKE UTM (internal competition), the students also have the opportunity to submit their Capstone Project to the state, national, or international competition. FKE UTM (under Student Endowment) has provided RM 100 incentive for the competitions. The objectives are to alleviate the burden on students participating in international innovation competitions; to encourage lecturers to involve students in innovation programs, thereby producing skilled and high-quality graduates of world-class standards; to enhance communication and social skills for project development, especially within teams; to increase the visibility and reputation of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia by showcasing the expertise and capabilities of its students; and to explore innovations aimed at identifying potential areas for collaboration and technology transfer.
