PART 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
1.2 Objective
The aim of FYP is to provide the opportunity for students to apply and integrate theoretical
knowledge and principles, taught in the course, in solving technical problems. It also provides
the opportunity for the students to demonstrate independence and originality, as well as to
plan and organize a project over a certain period of time. Throughout this course, students
should also be able to:
The whole project carries 6 and 10 credits for diploma and bachelor degree respectively.
Students will select or propose the title of the project at the early of Semester 6 (for Diploma)
and 7 (for bachelor degree).
For bachelor degree level of supervision, the supervisor will get 1 credit for each title
supervised. But the maximum credit of 4 will be given regardless the number of the project
supervised if exceed 4 titles.
For diploma level of supervision, the supervisor will get 1 credit for each title supervised.
Similarly to the bachelor degree, the supervisor will get 4 credits regardless the number
project supervised if exceed 4 titles
a. laboratory experimentation
b. build and test
c. analytical work
d. numerical simulations
e. Industrial based projects
The university always encourages projects which are related to industrial problems to give
students experience of the actual problems faced in the industry.
The projects title may be proposed by the department academic members or students may
also propose a project of their own interest.
2
1.5.1
The title will be published by the Project Coordinator at the end of Semester 4 (for Diploma)
and 6 (for Bachelor Degree). Students will be able to choose a project which they are
interested in by filling in appropriate forms and consult appropriate department academic
member.
1.5.2
Students should approach the department member/s who will be able to supervise their
project.
PART 2
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Students will be assessed based on their performance during implementing the project.
Students are expected to meet the supervisor and discuss the project work every week. The
assessment scheme is divided into three (3) elements:
2.1.1
Logbook, (35% if work individually) Log Book is a complete note regarding the progress of
the project work. Comments and actions taken and to be taken should be recorded and
endorsed by students and supervisors. For a group project, each student will be assessed by
his group members based on:
a. Contribution of ideas
b. Contribution towards work
c. Ability to meet deadlines
d. Communication with group members
2.1.2
Presentation, 30%
The evaluation is done on individual basis. It will be assessed by Project Supervisor and
Invited Assessor. The overall mark obtained by students is the average of marks given by
Supervisor and Invited Assessor. The assessment is divided into two (2) parts:
2.1.3
Report (35%)
The assessment is carried out on individual basis. It will be assessed by Project Supervisor.
The assessment is divided into three (3) parts:
PART 3
RESPONSIBILITIES
3.1
Students responsibilities
Once a project has been assigned to the students, it will be the students responsibility to
consult the supervisor in order to ensure that they understand the objectives of the project,
expectations from the project, the deliverables as well as the budget limitations. The students
should then plan their work (Gantt Chart or equivalent) to be used as a basis to monitor their
progress. Students are strongly advised to set up weekly or regular meetings with their
supervisor to seek advice and to review the progress of their project.
3.2
Supervisors Responsibilities
The supervisor will set the requirements of the project and the students will have to meet the
requirements. The supervisor will guide the students in the project; as well as recommend
approaches, techniques and methods appropriate to achieve the projects objectives.
3.3
The FYP Coordinator will be responsible to ensure the implementation of FYP. The
coordinator will collect and organize the suggested project titles, publish as well as assign
project titles to the students upon approval from the FYP Committee. The Coordinator will
also organize the presentation sessions, collect evaluation forms from supervisors and
examiners, and work out the final grades.
3.4
Members of the committee are the lecturers who will supervise the FY Projects. They will
have to approve the titles proposed by all members before being published to students. They
will also approve the final marks after presentations.

Other than that, we would like to express our gratitude to all the
lecturers for assisting and helping us in our research of this portable gantry
project. We also would like to thank to all the technicians who help ease our
burden throughout our internship period to finish up our project. Last but not
least, thank to our dearly loved friends for their criticism and advices. Lastly, we
wish forward our regards and blessings to all of those who supported us in any
respect during the completion of the project

Channel for the purpose of hanging the chain block. C Channel also can be
substituted with I Beam. For the body of the gantry, the material being used is
Rectangular Hollow Section. To ease the gantry move, castors have been welded
to the gantrys legs. Before construction of the gantry, calculations should be
done perfectly to make sure the stability and efficiency of the gantry is 100%
and able to lift the load without harming anyone and reduce as much as
deflection as it can. Firstly, calculate C-Channel based on the beam theory. It
will show the strength of the C-Channel and how much of weight of load it can
be lifted. Next, calculate the eye piece that will be welded to C-Channel.
Calculations of C- Channel and the eyepiece are the very important steps
because both of them give big impact to the gantry if the strength of them cannot
support the load. The portable gantry is able to be constructed after finishing all
the calculations. All welding techniques and balance sequence must been used
under construction of the gantry. Welding techniques should be applied to the
construction such as plug weld, overhead, and many more. Last but not least,
paint is applied to the gantry and chain block would be hung.
