Week 4 : The Title

Objective: 

To present the suitable title. 

Analysis/Procedure: 

After doing some research on my final year project, I have decided the project which is:- 

"Development of Thermoelectric Device Charger" 

The brief introductory: 

Thermoelectric Device Charger is generating an electricity by using any kind of wasted heat as a supply. The concept that applied in this project is Seebeck effect that directly converts heat energy to electricity to charge a device. Thermoelectric Device Charger describes a device charger, which is powered by thermoelectric generator (TEG) power modules. In processing the output, the application of dc-dc booster and votage regulator is applied. The output product is a 5V, 100 mA at the USB socket. 

Conclusion: 

My FYP supervisor Sir Nor Azman Bin Othman from the Electrical Section (Academic Affair), Ground floor of the Administration Building of UniKL British Malaysian Institute (BMI) has agreed with title and I can now proceed further with my project.

Week 3 : The Supervisor

Objective: 

To find and register a supervisor whom can asses on my project. 

Analysis/Procedure:

Today, I scouted for a lecturer to be my supervisor for my Final year Project, preferably from the Electrical Section. Few of the preferable lecturers are unavailable to be my supervisor because the they had reached the allocated number of students for each lecturer. Luckily, Sir Nor Azman Bin Othman is available and he agree to be my supervisor if i had a title on my FYP. 

Sir Nor Azman requested me to find a title with a synopsis and discuss my ideas before Wednesday of week 4.
