GUIDELINES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FIRST
DEGREE PROJECT (XBTP4106)

Introduction

It is well recognised that project paper is an important component of the first-degree
curriculum. Students are required to take the project paper towards or at the end of their
studies. Basically, a project paper aims to train students to conduct a small-scale research
activity. More importantly is to train students to search to establish a concrete problem
statement. The project also provides an avenue for students to improve their presentation
skills and gain experience in the discussion during the presentation of the findings.

The course consists of 6 credit hours and it is a compulsory course for the Bachelor of
Occupational Health and Safety Management (BOHSM) with Honours programme.

Requirements of Project XBTP4106

1. Students must obtain a CGPA of 2.00 and above before registering for this course.
2. Students registering for the course must be at least in their 3
rd
Year of study and
above can register for the Project.
3. Students must complete the project within TWO consecutive semesters. The
proposal has to be submitted in the first semester of the project work and the final
complete report in the second semester. Students who fail to submit the proposal
and final report will be given a grade F. Student should submit their progress and
final project report adhere to the deadline proposed by the faculty. Kindly refer to
MyVLE.
4. To repeat, a student needs to register for the project in the following semester.

Learning Outcomes

Students should be able to:
1. Identify an appropriate and manageable scope of study.
2. Identify and apply a suitable research method to conduct the project/research.
3. Demonstrate ability to connect theories they have learned with practice.
4. Integrate OSH knowledge in management discipline
5. Produce professional quality writing

The following are some guidelines to assist you in the management of your project.

Suggested Areas for Study

The scope of the first-degree project is program dependent. The project titles
cover a wide range of topics to meet the course objectives. Project topics can be
proposed by the students or the supervisors concerned. But the faculty needs to
evaluate the topics on their suitability.

Students can select any field for the project based on Table 1.

Table 1: Suggested Areas for Project Implementation
Field
1) OSH Management Systems
2) Safety and Health Programmes
3) OSH Improvement and Innovations
4) Occupational Health
5) Occupational Safety
Note: Refer to Appendix 1 for the registration form of Project.


Project Evaluation for Proposal and Final Report (Project XBTP4106)
& Monitoring

In order to facilitate the monitoring of the project by the supervisor, a student will need to
communicate with his/her supervisor. This can be done through a face to face meeting or
email. Table 2 shows the marks distribution for Proposal and Final Report.

Implementation of Project XBTP4106

1. Faculty will appoint supervisor for each student based on the selected field.

2. Student will be informed of their supervisor through FST announcement.

3. The attendance of the student in the first face to face meeting with the supervisor
is COMPULSORY.

4. Students must meet to discuss their projects with their supervisors at least TWO
(2) times per semester. During any discussion, the student needs to bring along
the Students Log Book. The supervisors comments are to be recorded in the Log
Book. At the end of the meeting, the student must also get his supervisors
signature as evidence that the meeting was conducted.

5. The time, date and venue of the meeting are to be selected on the basis of a
mutual agreement between the supervisor and the student. All meetings should be
conducted at the nearest Learning Centre.

6. Project title must be discussed and agreed upon by the supervisor. If the students
are unclear about the requirements of the project, they must consult the supervisor
again or the respective programme coordinator.

7. Changing the project field must be within ONE month of the first semester and it
must be discussed and agreed upon by your supervisor. Students will be required
to fill in a form (in Appendix 7) and to submit to the faculty.

8. Supervisor will assist and guide the student to prepare the Project Proposal and
Project Final Report according to the format given by the faculty.

9. Submission within TWO semesters
For students who are able to complete within TWO semesters by following the
deadline of submission for that particular semester, the grade will be announced
in the same semester. If students fail to complete within the stipulated time a
grade F will be given and students need to re-register the overall course/project.



Starting your Project

STEP 1: Project Title and Problem Identification

Your choice of topic should be governed by: a) your interest b) adequate resources/data
of the project c) time frame of project implementation (2 semesters) d) area/topic chosen


Faculty of Science and Technology

has previously been well researched by others (can check or refer to the recent related
online journals).

Research/project starts with a case or problem that requires a solution. This part is the
most crucial element. As a start of your project, you need to write your problem
statement. Problems of a research/project can be identified by: a) reading newspaper,
from television, radio on the current issues related to your chosen field b) browsing
through recent journals through OUM digital library, magazines or books c) having a
discussion or communication with your employer, colleagues on issues related to your
work d) field observation.

Introduction gives a brief overview of the topics or subject area research that you have
chosen. It can include the problems with past research/project and the current research
aims to identify or solve the problems. You need to justify the importance of your
project/research in this part. In short, your introduction should have the following item
(Ahmad, 2001):
Historical development and current importance
Main purpose of the research


STEP 2: Literature Review

You can start your literature survey by browsing the online journal on your chosen topic.
Literature review contains cited articles or books related to your topic. The articles should
be arranged in such a way that you can build up your cases in a smooth manner and
connecting from one article to another. A literature review should demonstrate the
background theories of your topic, should identify the strengths and weaknesses of
previous research. You should be writing a critical evaluation of what other people have
done on the same area/topic that you have chosen.

For more information on writing a literature review, you can browse the url below:
http://www.canberra.edu.au/studyskills/writing/literature


STEP3: Research Methodology

Research/project methodology focuses on the details of the instruments that are suitable
to be used for the data for the project. For example, you may want to use questionnaires,
observation or interviews depending on what type of research you have chosen either
quantitative or qualitative and also on the research is all about. Your methodology should
contain your research/project design.

STEP 4:Data analysis and Findings

As you reach to this point of your project, usually you can start off by checking your
data, briefly describe the analyses used. For example, using statistical method such as
descriptive statistics, i.e. frequencies, means, standard deviation etc. Data presentation
can be in the form of graphs or tables and should be numbered accordingly. Your raw
data or any software output can be inserted in the appendices.


STEP 5: Discussion and Recommendation

This is an important section and it demonstrates your ability to integrate the results from
previous chapter. It should also include implication of the results and recommendations
for future work to be carried out where appropriate. Limitations of your study (small
sample size, limited number of companies or occupations etc.) can also be mentioned
here.


STEP 6: Writing your Abstract

An abstract is a self-contained, short summary describing the contents of the paper which
enables a reader to understand the result and the application of the study. Components
vary according to discipline; it should contain the scope, purpose, methodology and
results of the work. An example of an abstract as in Appendix 9.
Format of the Report
The report must be prepared to a professional standard. Below is the brief description of
the items:

Appendix 9
EXAMPLE OF AN ABSTRACT

The project will implement a multi-agency, public-private effort to create safe visitor
access, rehabilitate existing recourse damage, and reconstruct trails in a premier, heavily-
used, rock climbing and hiking area located within a quarter-mile of the Peter Norbeck
Scenic Byway (State Highway 244).

Located within close proximity to the byway, nationally designated for its scenic
qualities, the Wrinkled Rock Climbing Area provides byway travelers ready access to
recreational opportunities to take in the scenic beauty of the area by providing access to a
variety of climbing and easy hiking opportunities to view amazing rock formations and
beautiful scenery. To enhance the byway traveler experience, this project will a) improve
vehicle-pedestrian highway safety; b) provide for hiker and rock climber safety and
education; c) provide for natural resource protection/rehabilitation/education; and d)
provide a unique get out of the car and walk byway experience. This includes the
provision of an off-highway, family-safe, parking facility from the byway that serves as a
trailhead to the climbing and hiking area, and the development and dissemination of
consistent resource protection and education messages from all partners across agency
boundaries.

This project benefits the byway traveler by providing safe, stable, hiking trail
opportunities free of visible natural resource damage that wind between towering
rock formations and large diameter ponderosa pine trees, provides opportunities to view
or climb alongside rock climbers practicing their sport, catch a glimpse of local wildlife,
and foster appreciation for and stewardship of the byways resources.

This is a good example because it:
Is simple and well-focused
Summarises specifically what the project will do
Establishes a clear relationship to the byway and its intrinsic qualities
Describes what the benefit to the byway traveler will be
Provides a clear description of how the project will connect the byway traveler
from the byway to the recreation
