Week 14

  Activity: SUBMIT THE PROPOSAL REPORT AND LOGBOOK

This week hasn't really brought much. Sir Zaki was given a copy of the project proposal. I kept working to develop my system after the submission. I was attempting to develop the system from all the research I've done. The upcoming semester will see the continuation of this journal or blog, which will continue to focus on my system development.

Week 13

 Activity: COMPLETING THE PROPOSAL REPORT

I spent this week putting the finishing touches on my proposal report. I really concentrated on chapters 2 and 3. These chapters cover the full of my report, starting with the literature review and concluding with the summary in chapter 3. I am getting closer to finishing my report and making sure that all crucial detail is covered from beginning to end thanks to this development.

Week 12

 Activity: ATTEND FYP WORKSHOP  & TECHNICAL PAPER PREPARATION

This week, I attend the FYP workshop. For FYP1, I studied the technical paper format, and for FYP2, I studied Claim. I obtained the formatting for this portion from the FYP website and will discuss it with my Supervisor for the technical paper submission next week.

Week 11

 Activity: COMPLETING THE PROPOSAL REPORT

I completed my report for Chapter 1 and some for Chapter 3 because this week is Week 11, so it can be evaluated by My Supervisor. I explore the crucial elements that lay the groundwork for our project in Chapter 1 of the proposal report. First, in order to explain the context and development of the initiative, we give a full project history. Then, we outline the precise problems we intend to solve in a clear issue statement. Additionally, we specify our goals by stating the results we hope to accomplish.  

Week 10

  Activity: MEETING WITH SUPERVISOR ABOUT DEFENSE PROPOSAL

This week, I met with My Supervisor to discuss the comments given to me during the defense proposal. 

• The problem statement should be consistent with the literature review to be utilized in the presentation, for example.
• The objective must address the provided problem statement.
• The usage of Blynk as an input and output.

Most significantly, I need to research whether this project will reduce the cost of farming the lake's fish pond.

Week 9

  Activity: SURVEY COMPONENT USED IN FYP

Due to the requirement to identify some mechanical components before moving on with the proposal report, I took a break from authoring the proposal report this week to complete the survey component utilized in the FYP.

I will meet with My Supervisor to discuss these components after I have reviewed them in order to determine which ones will be used in the FYP.

Week 8

  Activity: STARTED DRAFTING PROPOSAL REPORT

For this week after I have completed the presentation of the defense proposal. In FYP workshop 2, I learned about proposal format and how to prepare a thesis. I was able to determine what belongs in Chapters 1 through 3 for this section. So, this week, I'm going to start drafting a proposal report.

 

Week 7

 Activity: DEFENSE PROPOSAL PRESENTATION

So this week is when the Defence Proposal will be presented.

The talk began at 9:00 am and ran till 2:30 pm. Online location: MS Teams. Madam Azliza Bt Mohamad Arshad and Madam Julie Roslita Bt Rusli served as my assessors. The Electronic Engineering Technology Section is home to both lecturers. The presentation went smoothly overall.

For the presentation's conclusion, I need to make my project better going forward and simpler to understand for the reader to carry on the previously conducted research. I need to make some changes to the proposal report. 

Week 6

 Activity: ATTEND FYP WORKSHOP 4 & PREPARE FOR DEFENSE PROPOSAL PRESENTATION

In this week's discussion at the 4th FYP workshop, which I attended, we learned about scoring for the defense proposal presentation. As a reminder, I only need to use the bullet point in the presentation later. I had a few days to prepare for the defense proposal presentation because it has been scheduled for week 7.

In order to decide what to include in the presentation, I gonna meet my supervisor. My supervisor wants to review all the presentation slides this weekend so that he can make sure there are no errors during the proposal defense because there are some things that need to be fixed.

Week 5

 Activity: ATTEND FYP WORKSHOP 3 & FINDING THE DESIGN SYSTEM

I attended the third FYP workshop this week. I learned how to create a thesis and proposal writing during this session. In this section, I discover the standards that Chapter 4's Results and Discussion and Chapter 5's Conclusion ought to meet. In addition, I learn what should be in the proposal report's abstract or summary.

I'm looking for some details regarding the design system that will be followed to complete this project for this week as well. I will have a discussion with My supervisor about the components used to gather some data. I will then create some sketches for the eventual design system.

Week 4

  Activity: ATTEND FYP WORKSHOP 2 & FINDING THE LITERATURE REVIEW 

I attended FYP workshop 2 this week. I learned how to compose a thesis and the proposal format throughout this course. In this section, I learn what to expect from Chapter 1 to Chapter 3.

and also this week I am looking for a literature review related to the title of my final-year project. The list below is some literature reviews that I found on the internet.

1. "Automated Sun Shades in Aquaculture: A Review of Research on Water Temperature and Light Levels" by Chen, S. et al. (2018)

2. "Automated Sun Shade Systems for Aquaculture: A Review of Current Technologies and Future Directions" by Lee, J. et al. (2019)

3. "Emerging Trends in Automated Aquaculture Sun Shades: A Review of Recent Research" by Gupta, R. et al. (2021)

Week 3

 Activity: REGISTER TITLE FOR FINAL YEAR PROJECT

The third week of this FYP 1 began today. We need to register the most recent title for our FINAL YEAR PROJECT this week. My supervisor Sir Zaki instructed me to list some of the problem statements for my project before moving forward with title registration.

PROBLEM  STATEMENT

1. Employ numerous employees to maintain the sunshade
2. The sunshades use poles, and wind becomes a major problem causing the poles to fall
3. Because the sunshades use poles, you must keep an eye on your head.
4. Because it has been exposed to the sun for too long, this fish is anxious.

Week 2

 Activity: CHOOSE A SUITABLE TITLE  FOR THE FINAL YEAR  PROJECT

Students may choose from the titles that are supplied by lecturers (FYP Supervisor), as mentioned in the previous semester, or they may come up with original ideas. I also come up with my own title for my FYP project after giving it some thought. In order to comprehend the requirements and certain criteria necessary to accomplish the assignment, I read through the list of titles and each summary. Below is some title of projects given by my Supervisor.

When this was all said and done. I thought this project was interesting. I'll present this idea to my selection supervisor later. Keep checking for further updates.

Week 1

Activity: SUPERVISOR HUNTING

In the 1st week, I decided to search for lecturers that are still available to be the supervisor for FYP. In other words, I had been considering finding a supervisor to help me get through this semester even before I started this course. I have been thinking about a few lecturers that I could approach to be my supervisor. I tried to reach Dr. Zaki Ayob through WhatsApp before the semester started to ask whether He could be my supervisor and was happy when He said yes.

Project Desriptions

 AUTOMATED AQUACULTURE SUN SHADE

A technology called Automatic Aquaculture Sun Shade is intended to automatically shade aquaculture operations. To determine how much sunshine is reaching the farm, the system combines sensors, microcontrollers, and motors to alter the shade. The system is designed to be fully automated, meaning that it can operate without any human intervention. Yet if necessary, it can also be operated manually. Overall, the Automatic Aquaculture Sun Shade is a cutting-edge solution that can help aquaculture farms become more productive and sustainable.
