The Centre in Computer Engineering Studies at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) has developed and built the Intel 8051 Trainer and Application Board that is used by the students at the faculty as a learning tool. This microcontroller is taught in the Microprocessor System course and is available in the Software Application Laboratory. This paper presents the major...
Maximum coverage Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) with lower energy consumption may not be achieved without a proper sensor node placement. This paper uses a biologically inspired optimization technique known as Territorial Predator Scent Marking Algorithm (TPSMA) with maximum coverage ratio objective function to arrange the sensor nodes in WSN. The coverage ratio and energy consumption provided by this...
It is desirable to position sensor nodes in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to be able to provide maximum coverage with minimum energy consumption. However, these two aspects are contradicting and quite impossible to solve the placement problem with a single optimal decision. Thus, a Multi-objective Optimization (MOO) approach is needed to facilitate this. This paper studies the performance of a WSN...
Optimum sensor node placement for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is needed for cost effective deployment that provides maximum coverage and minimum energy consumption without jeopardizing the connectivity. A sensor node placement technique that utilizes a new biologically inspired optimization technique that imitates the behavior of territorial predators in marking their territories with their odours...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) which is capable in sensing, storing, processing and transmitting data has been widely applied in providing effective surveillance. Optimum sensor nodes placement in the surveillance area is needed to optimise the cost and efficiency of deployment. The positions of sensor nodes should be able to provide maximum coverage with longer lifetime. This paper proposed a sensor...
Abilities in sensing, storing data, processing data and transmitting data has made Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) to be applied in providing effective surveillance. Optimum sensor nodes placement in the surveillance area is needed since the number of sensor nodes that can be deployed are limited. The positions of sensor nodes must be able to provide maximum coverage. This paper describes an initial...
Quality of Service (QoS) of a network has become the core research area in a computer communication field. Normally researchers will be using simulation software to carry out their research works. However, it is found that simulation software has its own limitations as it does not really reflect the actual network environment. Thus, most research and development works now are exploiting emulation...
Digital System Fundamentals is an elementary course offered by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) for semester 1 undergraduate students of the Electrical Engineering programs specializing in computer, electronics, communication and instrumentation. As this course is focusing more on designing circuit rather than only knowing the theoretical part of the circuit,...
Previously, laboratory assessment method was inconsistent and complex. Due to that reason, an Outcome Based Education (OBE) assessment tool has been implemented at Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE), Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM). This assessment tool has been designed particularly for laboratory modules and is called Laboratory Sensor Performance Evaluation Course Tool (LAB-SPECT). LAB-SPECT...
Organizations around the world are experiencing a shortage of qualified candidates to fill the growing number of networking positions in almost every industry. Cisco Networking Academy is an innovative global education initiative that delivers information and communication technology skills to help meet this growing demand while improving career and educational opportunities for students around the...
This paper presents the performance analysis of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) used in the high-end applications such as weapons sensor ship, biomedical applications, habitat sensing and seismic monitoring. Recently WSN also focuses on national security applications and consumer applications. This project shall demonstrate the performance of WSN models, which have been developed using PIC. Temperature...
Implementing Outcome Based Education (OBE) in evaluating program outcomes is a standard practice nowadays at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Previously, laboratory assessments method was merely based only on lab report submitted by each group of students and the procedure is inconsistence as each module consists of different area of electrical engineering...
