Development Questionnaire II (Student) is to obtain feedback from respondents, the students associated with the Program Implementation Evaluation Diploma in Mechatronics Engineering at the Polytechnic towards Industrial Requirements in Malaysia. This study was conducted to produce empirical evidence about the validity and reliability of the questionnaire II (Student) using Rasch Measurement Model. A pilot study was conducted at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Polytechnic Kota Kinabalu, Sabah on 38 students in their final semester of a diploma program in Mechatronic Engineering. Validity and reliability of the questionnaire II (Students) were measured using Rasch Measurement Model Winsteps Version 3.69.1.11. Rasch analysis showed respondents reliability index is 0.97 and reliability index is 0.91.From the point of polarity items, each item can contribute to the measurement because the PTMEA CORR each item above 0.30, which is between 0.30 to 0.81. Appropriateness test shows 23 items in the questionnaire should be dropped and the second item MNSQ repaired because the outfit has to be outside the range between 0.6 to 1.40. These findings provide the dimensions of the construct validity of the questionnaire, which constructs the implementation of the teaching and learning process, use of facilities and equipment for teaching and learning and assessment. Rasch Measurement Model has shown that the questionnaire II (Students) have a high validity and reliability for use in measuring the evaluation of Diploma in Mechatronics Engineering Program implementation at Polytechnic College in regards to the Industrial Requirement in Malaysia.

Biological diversity or biodiversity is an important element in the river water management system. The interaction between the various organisms in the river makes it a very complex ecological system. Therefore, water safety issues are a very important issue. Consumer complaints and reports made by the relevant government departments indicate that consumers are dissatisfied with the quality of water supplied. Hence, a concept in which equipment, machines, sensors and devices are connected to the Internet and there is data collection and transfer through the network developed to follow the river water quality index. Integration of the elements of sustainability and IR4.0 through the Internet of Thing by adopting electronic and Internet applications of Thing has a very positive impact to refresh the approach to lesions in Malaysia. The project aims to develop a wireless water quality monitoring system that aids in continuous measurements of water conditions based on pH and turbidity measurements. The developed system was successfully detecting both the pH and turbidity values. Water analysis and monitoring is a very important aspect of water conservation and protection. Water is a vital resource that runs more quickly overtime. To ensure continued supply of safe, clean drinking water, together as community to protect and to this vital resource.

Leadership is a critical aspect in organisation. As in 21st century, it’s shown that there are stiff competitions between giant companies to dominate the world economy. Literature shows that their secret of success depends on an open and innovative leadership. Academic leadership should be changed literally to tackle the globalization challenges, in line with technological advances. Leaders can be considered as a goal-setter, advocator, initiator, communicator, supporter, coordinator, coach, evaluator, manager, information provider and role model while implementing changes within the organisation. This study aims to identify leadership style in TVET education by 21st century. The method used for the study is by analyzing and comparing the document with reference from previous review. Identification of theories that uphold leadership style will be the result of this study. This proves the connection between the theories used in this study.

Sign language recognition has become a crucial area of research, especially in the field of assistive technology for hearing- and speech-impaired individuals. This paper presents a new project aimed at developing a device that translates American Sign Language (ASL) into spoken language using the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors. The system design covers 30 basic gestures and focuses on making communication easier for hearing-impaired students in technical programs. The project addresses the challenges and limitations of sign language recognition, and aims to reduce the communication gap between hearing-impaired and normal individuals. The implementation of this project is expected to result in a more accessible and inclusive society for all.
