I
n the Universiti Teknologi MARA Malaysia, the Bachelor Degree programmes of the Computing
Sciences discipline typically end with a final year project. This final year project is the capstone of
each Bachelor Degree programme as it builds and tests the knowledge and skills acquired
throughout the scholastic sessions. In addition, this project contributes as an essential part of the training
towards becoming a professional. This book presents the essentials of the Computing Sciences project
administration. Its aim is to meet the administrative formalities and procedural needs of students who
are embarking on the formulation stage of their final year project, through to project completion. Several
categories of readers may benefit from the content of this book as it provides important information
pertaining to the Computing Sciences department requirements. The categories include the student who
undertakes the project, the supervisor who supervises the project, the examiner of the project, the
lecturer who conducts the project courses, and the coordinator who is responsible for managing the
project exhibition for the Computing Sciences discipline.

Aim
To provide an overview of the Bachelor Degree of Computing Sciences final year project.

1.1 Introduction
A final year project is different from a traditional course in terms of its size, its goals, and its form of
supervision, communication and examination. It represents a substantially larger workload than that
expected of a single course. While a single course traditionally focuses on the student acquiring
knowledge in a specific subject area through lectures and laboratory work, the final year project focuses
on deepening the student’s understanding of a subject area. Moreover, it provides the student with the
training to conduct the project independently using a sound and structured approach.

For a successful completion of a Bachelor Degree in the Computing Sciences discipline, the student
must complete the required courses, prepare a project proposal for examination and conduct research
work that culminates in an examination of a final year project report with an oral presentation of the
results. It is to this capstone of a Bachelor Degree programme that the final year project cultivates the
development of a student towards becoming an independent and critical-thinking individual.

1.2 Objective
The book focuses on the final year project within the Computing Sciences discipline. It provides
informative materials to both the lecturer and the student in planning, organizing and managing the
project towards its successful completion. The contents of the book enable the lecturer and the student
to comprehend the administrative process and to apply the report guidelines involved in undertaking a
project of this nature.

1.3 Structure
The book is structured into two main sections: (i) the formulation and submission of the project proposal,
and (ii) the execution of the proposed project towards completion. For each section, the administrative
process and workflow are provided for both the lecturer and the student. The project examination criteria
can be discerned from the forms and rubrics that are provided in the appendices as a guide for the
lecturer and the student. In addition, the forms provided in the appendices are detachable for use.

 Chapter 3

Aim
To provide a working guide on writing a project report for the Computing Sciences undergraduate.

3.1 Overview
This chapter is divided into three main sections: (i) Report Format (ii) Arrangement and Contents and
(iii) Poster Format. The formatting of the report is highlighted in the first section, the contents in the
second section, followed by formatting of the poster on the third section.

3.2 Report Format

3.2.1 Language and Report Length

The report must be written in the English language with a minimum of fifty (50) pages (excluding the
appendix).

3.2.2 Printing

Microsoft Word format should be used. All final copies of the report should be printed on a laser printer
for quality printing. A4 paper of 80 gram weight should be used.

3.2.3 Typeface, Typing Quality and Font Size

The entire text of the report, including the headings and page numbers, should be of the same font or
typeface. “Times New Roman” (TNR) should consistently be used throughout the report. Computer
printouts should be clear and of high quality.
a) Font Size
The body text size is 12 point for “Times New Roman”. Text should not be scripted or italicized
except for:
 scientific names,
 terms in a different language, and
 quotations
Footnotes, caption and content for tables or figures should be 10 point TNR font size.
b) Headings and Subheadings
These should be in bold print in 14 point TNR font size.
c) Margins
Margin specifications are meant to facilitate binding and trimming. The stipulated margins for the
general text (body of report) are as follows:
Top edge : 3.0 cm Right
side : 2.5 cm Left side :
4.0 cm Bottom edge : 2.0
cm

EC Chap3.indd 23 9/2/2015 9:35:09 AM

 Essentials of Computing Sciences Project Administration

All information including text headings, footnotes and illustrations should be within these
margins.
d) Paragraphs
A new paragraph at the bottom of a page must have at least two full lines of text: if not, it should
begin on the next page. Use 1.5 spaces between lines and 3 spaces between paragraphs. The
following, however, should be single-spaced:
 explanatory footnotes
 quotations longer than three lines in a block
 reference or bibliography (except between entries)
 multi-line captions (tables, figures, plates)
 appendices such as questionnaires, letters
 equations
e) Page Numbering
Every sheet of paper in the manuscript except the title page, supervisor approval and student
declaration must be numbered. Begin numbering with acknowledgments, abstract, table of
contents, list of tables, list of figures, and list of abbreviations (optional) using lower case Roman
numeral (iv, v, vi, ...). The main text pages are to be numbered in Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3 ...). The
page number must be centered from the bottom of the page. Special characters should not be
included with the page number.

3.2.4 Equations

Equations must be done in Microsoft Equation Editor. The equation variables written in italic and
number should be Arabic numerals enclosed in parentheses on the right hand margin. They should be
cited in the text, for example, Eq. (1) and Eqns. (1) – (2). Equations start from the left. Punctuate
equations with commas or periods when they are part of the sentence. For example,
y = 2x + 3, and (1)
x = t2 – 4 (2)

Text……………………………………………………………………………….………………
…………………………………………………………….….….…………………….…………
…………………………………………………..……………………………….............................

3.2.5 Tables

Tables must be centered on the page within the prescribed margins. Each table must have a reference
number (in Arabic numeral) and a caption. The captions should be in title case (for e.g., Comparison of
Average Classification Accuracy for Filter). It may be useful to group tables in each chapter together
and to number them in sequence. For example, tables found in Chapter 1 should be numbered Table 1.1,
Table 1.2, Table 1.3, and so on.

Bold the word Table and its number. Its caption (10 point TNR) appear above the table. If any table
continues to the following or subsequent pages, the top line of the page reads. For example: Table 1.1
(Continued). The caption is not repeated. If a table is taken from another source, the reference must be
cited at the bottom of the table (10 point).

3.2.6 Figures

Figures may be illustrations, graphs, maps, charts and diagrams and anything that is neither script nor
table. Bold the word Figure and its number (in Arabic numeral). Its caption (10 point TNR) are placed
below the figure. The figure label should use lower case letter except for the beginning of the sentence
or proper noun. A figure should not extend beyond one page. However, if it does, the same guidelines
for tables should be followed. Figures should be grouped and numbered in sequence. For example,
Figure 3.1 should be located in Chapter 3. If a figure is taken from another source, the reference must be
cited at the bottom of the figure (10 point). Every figure must be boxed as shown in Figure 3.1.

EC Chap3.indd 27 9/2/2015 9:35:15 AM

 Essentials of Computing Sciences Project Administration

3.3.7 Abstract

The heading of the ABSTRACT appears centred and in full capital letters beneath the top margin (Refer
to Appendix F). The abstract summarizes the whole project and should consist of project motivation,
methodology, and findings. No citation is needed here. The length of the abstract should be between 250
to 300 words in a paragraph and use single spacing.

3.3.8 Table of Contents and List of Figures/Tables/Abbreviations

A table of contents (TOC) shows readers the starting page number of each major section and subsection
in the report (refer to Appendix G). The topics to be covered in the report must be carefully selected and
organized. The flow of the topics to be presented is very important in order to guide a relatively novice
reader in understanding the whole report. To an experienced reader, the TOC gives a quicker way of
finding interested information.
With the similar purpose as the TOC, the lists of figures/tables/abbreviations are to enable readers to find
the illustrations, diagrams, charts, tables and abbreviation explanation in the report. Figures/Tables/
Abbreviations must be numbered consecutively in order of appearance (Refer to Appendices H, I, and J).

3.3.9 Body of the Text

The MAIN BODY TEXT should be divided into chapters such as (refer to Appendix K):
 Introduction
 Theoretical Background or Literature Review
 Method of Investigation or Detailed of the Design
 Discussions/Evaluation on Findings/Design
 Conclusion and Recommendations
* Other additional chapters can be added according to the project type.
a) Introduction
An introduction is necessary to give a background, an overview of the overall topic and the
objectives of the final year project. The motivation to the initialization of the project can be
included. Its content should be general enough to guide the reader gracefully into the subject
materials.
b) Theoretical Background or Literature Review
This section is to discuss the theoretical aspects leading to the implementation of the project.
Typically, this involves the historical background of the theories published in the research literature
and the questions or ambiguities arose in these theoretical works. Citations for the sources of
information should be given in the standard APA formats.
Explore this background to prepare the readers to read the main of the report. It should contain
sufficient materials to enable the readers to understand why the set of data are collected, and what
are the salient features to observe in the graph, charts and tables presented in the later sections.
Avoid reporting any irrelevant issue. Depending on the length and complexity of the report, the
introduction and the theoretical background may be combined into one introductory section/
chapter.
c) Research Methodology / Research Design
The project may be in one of the following nature:
 Empirical research
 Experimental research
 Design synthesis of hardware/software
 Development and application of theory

EC Chap3.indd 28 9/2/2015 9:35:15 AM

 Essentials of Computing Sciences Project Administration

Depending on the nature of the project, the approach can be described in one or more chapters.
For empirical research, results and findings shall be discussed with regard to the gathering of data
using research instruments in a qualitative and/or quantitative approach. For experimental
research, explanations shall be given with regard to the equipment used to conduct the experiment,
the function of each apparatus, how the configuration works to perform a particular measurement,
sources of errors and how to minimize them, materials and ways to produce the sample. For design
synthesis of hardware/software, detailed descriptions on the techniques used shall be given. For
development and application of theory to solve a particular problem, the techniques used shall be
explained in detail. Mathematical derivations that are too lengthy shall be given in appendices.
Experiments conducted to verify the theory shall also be documented.
d) Presentation of Data
The data should be organized and presented in the forms of graphs, charts, or tables in this section,
without interpretative discussion. Raw data which may take up a few pages, and most probably
will not interest any reader, could be placed in the appendices.
e) Discussion on Findings
The interpretation of the data gathered can be discussed in this section. Sample calculations may
be included to show the correlation between the theory and the measurement results. If there is
any discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental results, an analysis or discussion should
follow to explain the possible sources of error. The presentation of data and the discussions may
also be combined into one chapter.
f) Conclusion and Recommendations
The conclusion section closes the report by providing a summary to the content in the report. It
indicates what is shown by the work, what is its significance, and what are the advantages and
limitations of the information presented. Additional discussion shall not be added. The potential
applications of the results and recommendations for future work may be included.

3.3.10 References

Every reference quoted or cited in the report must be included in the list of references and sorted in
alphabetical order according to author’s last name. All references must be from reliable sources. A
minimum of 15 academic references for proposal and a minimum of 30 academic references for final
project. Refer to Appendix L for detail reference formats.

3.4 Poster Format

The format of the poster is as follows:
 PORTRAIT – measuring a maximum of 1 m width x 1.5 m length.
 Organization – information flow should be from top to bottom or from left to right, but not both.
For uniformity and simplicity, it is best to arrange the poster in the following format:
 Introduction: a few brief sentences that state the purpose of the study.
 Research method(s).
 Results: illustrations, tables, figures, graphs and images.
 Conclusion(s): a list or summary paragraph of conclusions.
Title, authors and institutional affiliation
 All lettering for titles should not be less than 2.5 cm in height.
 The heading should include the authors’ names and affiliations.

EC Chap3.indd 29 9/2/2015 9:35:15 AM

 Essentials of Computing Sciences Project Administration

Tables, charts, drawings and illustrations, as required

 The lettering for the text in the body of the poster should be legible for comfortable reading at least
2 metres away and should not be less than 1 cm in height.
 Typeface should be in Sans Serif (e.g. Arial) that is clear and precise. Do not capitalize all letters.
 Headings should be consistent, whether they are in capital letters, boldface or italicized. 
 To help viewers follow the flow of ideas, number or letter each illustration and cue it into your text
by having it appear within the same page and as close as possible to its cued reference. Each chart or
table should have a label or explanation. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Student

1. What is the Final Year Project (FYP)?

The Final Year Project (FYP) is a project that needs to be undertaken by the final year student as
a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Computing Sciences bachelor degree.

2. What is the importance of the FYP?

The FYP is normally used by the bachelor students who have graduated to market themselves
during their interviews. Most of the companies will refer to the graduate’s thesis (or FYP report)
as a part of the evaluation criteria.

3. I am thinking of changing my supervisor. How do I go about it?

The changing of the supervisor is not encouraged. However, if you still insist on a change, please
refer to the Terms and Conditions in the Mutual Acceptance Form (F1).

4. I am thinking of changing the topic/title during CSP650. Will I be able to do so?

The changing of the topic/title is strongly discouraged as it may affect your overall project
evaluation.

5. How do I get an ‘A’ grade for CSP650?

You may get an ‘A’ grade if both the system/research/finding and report are good. For the system,
it should be successfully implemented together with test data analysis to demonstrate its worth.

6. My project is still incomplete. Do I still need to present/exhibit during the Final Year Project
Exhibition?
You will still need to present or exhibit it, otherwise an ‘F’ grade will be given.

7. What does an Incomplete (TL) or Fail result mean?

If the Supervisor and Examiner agree that your project is halfway through completion and can be
submitted within a specific duration, an ‘Incomplete’ result is given. However, if there is no
progress at all and if the Supervisor and Examiner foresee the problems in the project (e.g., student
attitude, level of completeness) then a ‘Fail’ result is given.

8. Does the faculty provide any printing facilities for poster, pamphlets, etc.?
Yes, the faculty will provide the printing facilities for poster, pamphlets, etc. However, you are free
to seek printing facilities elsewhere at your own expense.

9. When is the FYP exhibition held?

Normally, the FYP exhibition is held after the final examination.

10. What is the penalty for late submission of the final report draft?
The penalty imposed will affect your final grade.

11. Should I submit the whole report or only by chapters for plagiarism checking?
You have to submit the whole report for the plagiarism checking.

12. What is the maximum percentage of the similarity index for plagiarism checking?
The maximum percentage of the similarity index for plagiarism checking is 30%.

 Appendix L

Reference Citations in Text

To refer to an item in the list of references from the text, an author-date method should be
used. That is, use surname of the author (without suffixes) and the year of publication in the
text at appropriate points.

Example: Budget for 2015 is requested most for student aid and basic research programs
level-funded and also included several ambitious new higher education proposals (Obama,
2014).
A significant percentage of undergraduates are failing to develop the broad-based skills and
knowledge they should be expected to master (Arun & Roksa, 2011).

One author
Example: Flick (2014) reported that is now a stronger focus on how-to-do aspects in qualitative
research.
In a recent study reported that now there is a stronger focus on how-to-do aspects in qualitative
research. (Flick, 2014)

Two or more authors

When a work has two authors, always cite both names every time the reference occurs. For
works with three, four, or five authors, cite all authors the first time the reference occurs. In
subsequent citations, include only the last name of the first author followed by et al.
Example:
First citation – (Albali, Phillips, & Fischer, 2009)
Subsequent citation – (Albali et al., 2009)

When a work has no authors

Cite in text the first few words of what appears first for the entry on the list (usually the title)
and the year. Use double quotation marks around the title or abbreviated title.
Example: The literature has been updated and new approaches, work and authors have been
integrated (“An Introduction to Qualitative Research”, 2014)

Specific parts of a source

Example 1: The reference entry to Chapter 3 in the book by Dweck (2006) would follow the
format for an authored book, and so on.
Dweck (2006, Chapter 3)
Example 2: The reference entry for the citation to Figure 3 in Woo and Leon’s (2013) article,
shown in the illustration, would follow the format for a journal article.
(Woo & Leon, 2013, Figure 3)

 Some general rules for APA reference pages:
● Begin the reference list on a new page. The page begins with the word References
(Reference if there is only one), centered in the top, middle of the page, using both upper
and lower case. If the references take up more than one page, do not re-type the word
References on sequential pages, simply continue your list.
● Use one space after all punctuation.
● The first line of the reference is flushed left. Lines thereafter are indented as a group, a
few spaces, to create a hanging indention.
● Double space between references, while single spacing within reference.
● Use italics for titles of books, newspapers, magazines, and journals.
References cited in text must appear in the reference list; conversely, each entry in the
Reference list must be cited in text.
● Arrange entries in alphabetical order according to author’s last name.
● Give in parentheses the year the work was published. For magazines and newspapers,
give the year followed by the month and date, if any. If no date is available, state as
(n.d.).
● Give volume numbers for magazines, journals, and newsletters. Include the issue number
for journals if and only if each issue begins on page 1.

LEAN MODEL CANVAS

Learning Outcome

The Final Year Project course for computing students in FSKM is mapped to Entrepreneurial Skill as
one of the Learning Outcome. Lean Model Canvas is chosen as an assessment tools to measure students’
ability in relating entrepreneurial mind. The students are required to fill in the canvas based on their
undertaking project.

Lean Model Canvas

Lean Model Canvas is a canvas (blank piece of paper) that used to facilitate a start up to plan his/her
business idea. It allows the start up to brainstorm the idea and identify nine (9) important areas that must
be considered before jumping into commercializing the idea. The block in the canvas guide the students
through the logical steps starting from identifying the customer’s problem to unfair advantage.

The next section is guideline in filling up the canvas.

Guideline in filling up the canvas

Define your user ( Problem and Customer)

Before you get started the main question is: Do you have a problem worth solving? If so the first step is
to brainstorm who could be your customer or user: define 2-3 specific and small customer groups.
Customers are those who pay for your products. In comparison to the business model canvas, the Lean
Canvas is designed to focus on one customer group. Therefor create a separate Lean Canvas for every
customer group.

Create Solutions
Based on the identified problems, ideate and define a solution to every problem: list the three most
important features for a solution.

Define your Unique Value Proposition

The Unique Value Proposition is a clear message that describes the advantages of your offer, what
makes you different and distinguishes you from the competition.

Think about the Channels

What are the channels you want to use to reach your customer?
Define inbound channels that lead customers to your offer like Search Engine Optimization (SEO,)
white papers, blogs, social media – and outbound channels like ads, calls, fairs and conventions. BE
CREATIVE!

Pricing- Revenue Streams

Define the revenue streams and the prices for your offer. The pricing is part of your offer and needs to
be designed and tested.

Key Metrics
To understand if your idea and your business work well define key metrics as indicators to measure your
success. For the beginning, key metrics are the activities of a user that help the business grow (e.g.
number of registrations, number of prospects, etc.)

EC Appendices.indd 60 04/09/2015 14:45:50

 Appendix O

Costs Structure
List the most important costs for your offer. This might influence the pricing.

Unfair Advantage
As a last step, define your Unfair Advantage: what makes you unique that is not easily copied? E.g.
reputation, unique brand experience, unique partnerships that lead to an offer that cannot be copied.
