How to Download Journals for Beginner (UTM FYP students)

Posted on September 21, 2016 ·

For undergraduate students in UTM, you must be feeling ‘meh’ when starting to do your final year project (FYP) aka Projek Sarjana Muda (PSM). wpid-thumbnail-e68720aff4a7e36ea42c2f1a2149485b-720x400

When your SV starts to ask you to find the literature review of some topics, sometimes you will get really blur of “how are you going to start? what kind of reading you should look at”

and what actually should you looking for”. Dont you worry because you must find it normal for most of FYP students to kind of feel difficult to start your project.

So actually, when your appointed SVs asked you to start your project, do not ger nervous. There are so many online trusted website that you could refer to download journals related to your

project. Remeber….you are now in the midst of doing research..Thus, the reading must be from indexed journals…avoid referring to magazines, newspapers or maybe ‘entertainment blog’.

This is time to get serious :)…so first, make sure discuss the research topic with your SV, then start with doing your literature review…you can download your reading materials from https://www.scopus.com/ or https://www.google.com/#q=sciencedirect. The access is free as long as you are in UTM and if happened that you are going for semester break in your hometown, you can actually still download the journals by inserting your ACID via PSZ website.

So I hope my sharing today is kind of beneficial for some who still ponder of how to start your FYP. Good luck to you 🙂

Inatex UTM 2016

Posted on September 19, 2016 ·

This year, my team and I are going to join Inatex UTM 2016 starting from 4th till 6th of October 2016. This is my first try in any research and innovation competition in UTM and hopefully there will be a success story and a stepping stone for a brighter future as a lecturer and also a researcher :). Quite nervous but behind every success there is a story and maybe it is the right time for me to make a start :). so what is Inatex anyway?

Industrial Art & Technology Exhibition (INATEX) is one of the University’s program in Research and Development organised by Research Management Center (RMC). INATEX is an R&D exhibition that showcases UTM inventions and inovations. INATEX also acts as a competition for products develop by UTM researchers. The purpose of INATEX is to promote the research findings or products to the public by exhibiting the creative inventions and innovative products from UTM researchers. INATEX is also is a platform for UTM researchers to commercialize their research results at a higher level and to form a global network of intellectual partners together with industry. Therefore, researchers should always equip themselves with knowledge and skill and be familiar with the technology and new discoveries in the field of their expertise.
