0 INTRODUCTION
The student project is a compulsory course to be taken by level 6 diploma
students. Each student will complete a project based on their study fields.
This project will allow students the opportunity to practice their theoretical
knowledge and to solve problems in the area of information technology.
Students will be assessed on their skills in designing, problems solving, and
performing technical management work.
1.1 Objective
The objective of this project manual is to provide guidelines for students in
the selection of projects topic according to their field of study. This manual
serves as a reference in standardizing the procedures of Project Course for
Diploma students in Information Technology, which is outline by the
Department of Polytechnic Education (DPE). It is for this reasons that DPE has
initiated the development of this Project Guideline for Polytechnic
Information Technology Programme.
1.2 Credit and Duration
Projects are carried out in groups of TWO (2) to FOUR (4) students. Students
can form group of FOUR (4) only if the scope of the project is extensive and
should be delay approved by supervisor concerned. Every member must be
involved in ALL aspects of the project.
1.2.1

Total Credit Hour

The project carries SEVEN (7) credit hours where Level 5 consists of THREE (3)
credit hours and LEVEL 6 is FOUR (4) credit hours. Both courses comprising of
120 hours work.
1.2.2

Project Title Selection Criteria

i. Projects must be developed in accordance with the requirements of


industry (industry driven) or community and can be commercialized if
appropriate.
ii. Projects should have future upgrade values, which can be made to
improve the quality of the project.
iii. All invented projects must be original. Students who are caught to
have plagiarized will be STRICTLY penalized, and result in automatic
failure.
iv. Selection of project title can be done by choosing the title suggested
either by the coordinator, supervisor and student can also choose the
topic themselves, and must be approved by the coordinator or
supervisor.

1.3 Project Scope


Projects should be sufficiently challenging to allow the students to
demonstrate a variety of skills, including the ability to plan their work, perform
the necessary research, manage their time and resources adequately, work
as a team, show initiative and originality and present their work orally and in
writing. Students must develop the project based on their fields of study. Any
project with a similar scope to a class assignment will not be accepted.
Three project types comprising of:
i. Programming
ii. Networking
iii. Game Development
1.3.1

Programming

The project title may ranges from system development areas such as the
database development, stand-alone application, web-based application,
mobile (eg. PDA, handphone), to other relevant ideas. The projects may be
developed on any platform. For example, in web development student can
develop a dynamic web page or a commercial webpage which responds
to the users needs, and provides relevant information by accessing
information in a connected database. For stand-alone application, students
may develop computer software that can work offline, which does not
necessarily require network connection to function.
1.3.2

Networking

The project title may range from computer networking areas such as, the
emerging networking technologies, network application, network security,
wireless technologies, architectures, systems, services to other network and
related area. This may include network simulation, network design, and
network analysis.
In network simulation, student will create a program that models the
behavior of a network either by calculating the interaction between the
different network entities (hosts/routers, data links, packets, etc) using
mathematical formula, or actually capturing and playing back observations
from a production network. The behavior of the network, the various
applications and services the network supports can then be observed in a
test lab; various attributes of the environment can also be modified in a
controlled manner to assess how the network would behave under different
conditions.
In networking analysis student is required to perform a detailed study on a
certain area related to the networking. A large portion of the research will be
dedicated for documenting his studies. For example, a student who chose to
perform a study on issues related to network security can develop a small

Page 2 of 74

application such as a packet sniffer to demonstrate the security threats that


he read in the literature can actually happen in real life.
1.3.3

Game Development

The project titles may range from game development areas such as, standalone game, web-based game, mobile or multimedia game to other
relevant areas. In this project, students will use their programming skills to
develop a video game for commercial, educational and other purposes.
Students will select a theme and general design for their 2D or 3D video
game and use a programming language of their choice to develop their
digital activities by combining graphics, music, sound effects, sprite and pixel
art, modelling, texturing, animation and level design in the project. Focusing
on a central task of modeling a character, students will analyze and build
complex 3D objects piece by piece.
1.4 Procedures
1.4.1

Change project title

Level 6 students are only allowed to change their titles up to week 6 (add
and drop week). (Refer Appendix A). If they change the title they have to
redo all their level 5 assesments.
1.4.2

Attendance

Attendance must be at least 80% , if not students coursework assesments


marks will be disregarded.
1.4.3

Copyright

The Polytechnic shall be the owner of all findings, designs, patents and other
intellectual property rights of the projects.
1.4.4

Plagiarism

Students may discuss with their supervisors should they are in doubt of the
nature of plagiarism. If caught committing plagiarism, strict action will be
taken against the students.

Basic Form

The APA style dictates that authors are named last name followed by initials;
publication year goes between parentheses, followed by a period. The title of the
article is in sentence-case, meaning only the first word and proper nouns in the
title are capitalized. The periodical title is run in title case, and is followed by the
volume number which, with the title, is also italicized or underlined.
Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Title of article. Title of Periodical,
volume number(issue number), pages.

Journal
Paginated by
Volume

Journals that are paginated by volume


begin with page one in issue one, and
continue numbering in issue two where
issue one ended.

Issue

Journals paginated by issue begin with


page one in every issue. Therefore, the
issue number gets indicated in
parentheses after the volume. The
