23 June 2026 | Department of Electrical Engineering (JKE), POLISAS

Ts. Dr. Rohana Abdul Karim, Ts. Nurul Wahidah Arshad, and Ts. Dr. Yasmin Abdul Wahab were entrusted to conduct the course “From Final Year Project to Paper: Designing Meaningful Experiments for Conference Papers” for more than 20 lecturers from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Politeknik Sultan Ahmad Shah (POLISAS).

The course aimed to provide participants with a new perspective on designing more meaningful experiments for students’ final year projects, so that the outcomes of these projects would have the potential to be published as conference papers or scholarly writings.

Notably, participants were not only engaged in theoretical sharing sessions, but also participated in practical activities by using their own projects as case studies. This approach enabled them to directly apply the concepts learned within the real context of research and student supervision.

Overall, the participants expressed very positive feedback and were highly satisfied with the content and implementation of the course. It is hoped that the knowledge gained will contribute to improving the quality of final year projects and subsequently lead to the production of more scholarly publications in the future.
