FYP 1 Weekly Report

Week 1

  • Determine my research interest for Final Year Project by identifying which area I would like to focus on.
  • Study all areas offered so that I make the right choice based on my interests and understanding.
  • Through research, my goals for this FYP is to have the opportunity to use and implement methods, tools, and techniques that I already learned to a real world scenario and expand my understanding in tackling any difficulties related to Microelectronic Engineering.
  • Finally, I was able to complete and submit the FYP 1-0 form after had some advice from my academic advisor.

Week 2

  • Attend the research methodology workshop organized by the FKE.
  • Check the website for the list of supervisors and assigned areas.
  • Study on the topic suggestions given by supervisor and decide which topic that suits my interests. 
  • Make a research by searching for articles or journals for the topic I want to select.

Week 3

  • First meeting with my supervisor and student that under Dr. Mastura Shafinaz binti Zainal Abidin.
  • Dr Mastura Shafinaz briefing more the detail about the FYP and what we will do in the whole semester.
  • My supervisor gives suggestion about the project proposal and all the information about the    FYP project
  • Continue to find suitable title and find resources.
  • Start to find any project or research on the internet based on the topic chosen
  • Study on the methodology of on the research to ensure fewer obstacles during the development of the project.

Week 4

  • Decided to choose topic that proposed by Dr Mastura Shafinaz.
  • The title for my FYP project is Fabrication/characterization of cellulosed-based for energy storage application.
  • Set goals and objectives of the project what I want to accomplish by doing the research work.
  • Set scope of my work to provide a common understanding of the project
  • Find and Download references related to my project for further understanding.
  • Submit first draft of Final Year Project Topic Proposal Form to the faculty.

Week 5

  • Second meeting with my supervisor and student that under Dr. Mastura Shafinaz
  • Discuss about the title and overview of the project.Dr Mastura Shafinaz had given some advice and tips about the project.

1.Research question for this project

  • What are the suitable parameters of device structure (size, dimension, material) make it suitable to be used in energy storage application?
  • Which type of cellulose structure is the most suitable for the targeted application?
  • How the fabricated cellulose-based paper could be optimized for best performance energy storage application?

2.Hypothesis for above research questions

  • Basically, the cellulose paper will be used as the main material to be transformed into energy storage devices.
  • The structure to be explored in this study, correlating the studies on electrode materials and processes of fabricated the cellulosed-based paper.
  • The physical properties of the device structure fabricated will be characterized and analyzed.

3.Objective for this project

  • To Fabricated cellulose paper-based for energy storage application
  • To characterize the structural, surface morphology and electrical properties of the fabricated films.
  • To find the suitable parameter of device structure (size,dimension, material) for energy storage application.
  • To test the performance in terms of characterization of cellulose-based device for energy storage application.
