ABSTRACT

The name of this project is FYP Management Portal which is proposed by Ms. Yap Seok Gee. The main purpose of this project is to develop an online system that can reduce the workload of the FYP Committee in managing the work flows of the Final Year Project. Besides reducing the workload, it also hastens the steps and makes the data organized. By implementing this system, it would provide a lot of conveniences to the FYP Committee of Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman while saving time and cost.

The system is limited to the use of FICT staff only at the moment and will be improved in the next few versions. The methodology that has been chosen for the development of this system is the incremental and iterative model. The reason for choosing this model is because of the constant improvement that could be done to the system. The function will be added into the system from time to time to increase the value added of the system.

The system design would be based on the existing FYP Portal which would provide high level of user friendliness to the user. This way, the user can focus on using the system to perform the intended task rather than spending time learning how to use the system. The system's interface will be as simple as possible and contain high usability at the same time.

The system implemented is able to perform many functions. One of them is the compilation of project titles which allow the supervisor to propose their titles. Besides, the assignment of supervisor and moderator can also be done easily. Next, the grade entry is another module that would be included that allow the supervisor to key in the grade of his/her supervisee. Lastly, both the supervisors and FYP committee is able to produce reports which contains the statistics of the result, information of the projects, details of students and so on.
