Objective : To learn on how to write chapter 3,4 and abstract properly

Activity : The workshop was held at TTL2, Unikl BMI and the speaker is Dr.Imran. For today Dr Imran had explained that chapter 3 of proposal report which is methodology should have flowchart, block diagram,Gantt chart and few more. For chapter 4 which is results and discussion, results from simulation can be insert. Abstract should be write after finished writing all chapters as it is a short synopsis that conclude from all chapters. Besides, Dr.Imran also explained about project presentation requirement. The presentation should be short and sweet which expected for 15 minutes with maximum 15 powerpoint slides.

Conclusion : From this second workshop, I can see clearer about overall proposal report and presentation day. I should get myself ready to work harder from this onward to write report.

FYP1 : Week 9

IEEE Online Database Training

Objective :  To learn the correct and most efficient way to find database from IEEE website

Activity : 

This training held at Saniah Reduan Learning Hub  (Library) and the trainer is Mr. Edward Kennedy from United Technology. This training is how to getting started for searching on IEEE website which is www.ieee.org/ieeexplore . In this website there are few types of search for paperworks. For example, Journal category is the proved research which had finish the project while Standard is theory to prove journal is correct.

How to refine search on IEEE?

To search a sentence keyword is you need to add " at the start and end of the sentence. For example to search fall detection is "fall detection". If type fall detection without "" it will search for two different word which is fall AND detection.

Click Advance search option under search box, 

then it will show advance search options which you can type any keywords and u can set either between the keyword you want the it to be AND (it will have both keyword) , OR (if there have any one of the keyword) and NOT (it will not show that have not keyword).

Conclusion : I had learnt the right way to find research paperworks on IEEE with more precisely. So, I can starts with writing chapter literature review.

FYP1 : Week 8

Finding articles for literature review

Objective : To find article that can be revised as literature review

Activity : As we know, literature review is a review of previous projects. So, I had searched on IEEE website to find some of project that have same scope as my project. Basically IEEE is a website that provide research and paperworks of anything regarding electric and electronic. This website had to paid if want to download the paperwork. Fortunately, Unikl provided student access for IEEE for its students.

Few previous project that i've got from IEEE and even from Google Scholar such listed below :

• Wearable safety wristband device for elderly health monitoring with fall detect and heart attack alarm
• Elderly safety early-warning system based on android mobile phones
• Smart unit care for pre fall detection and prevention

Conclusion : I had found few useful paperworks of previous project that I can review and find the advantages and drawbacks of its project.
