Abstract

Final Year Projects (FYP) are essential for students to acquire during their final year to solve projects similar to real-world problems. However, situations such as poor communication, trouble monitoring progress, and a lack of consolidated documentation and evaluations are common problems between students and supervisors. Therefore, this study proposes to design and deploy an integrated platform for UniKL MIIT to manage the student's final year project. The system would streamline the coordination between supervisors and FYP coordinators in supervising, monitoring, and evaluating the student’s progress tracking through Web technologies. Therefore, the proposed approach demonstrates a better process flow experience that could benefit all the stakeholders, such as supervisors, FYP coordinators and students.
