This paper presents an overview of Capstone Project implementation at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), and discusses the current assessments methods and related issues. The Capstone project marked course outcomes that are strongly correlated with the engineering program requirements of the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) in Malaysia. The paper put forward several recommendations to improve assessment methods for evaluating skills involving ethics, and project implications to environmental issues. Self-assessment surveys to evaluate the experience of the students are to be implemented and analyzed in future works.

This paper presents the performance analysis of dualaxis solar tracking system using Arduino. The ultimate objective of this project is to investigate whether static solar panel is better than solar tracker, or the opposite. This project is divided into two stages namely, hardware and software development. In hardware development, five light dependent resistors (LDR) were utilized to capture the maximum light source from the sun. Two servo motors also were employed to move the solar panel to maximum light source location sensed by the LDRs. As for the software part, the code was constructed by using C programming language and was targeted to the Arduino UNO controller. The performance of the solar tracker was analyzed and compared with the static solar panel and the result showed that the solar tracker is better than the static solar panel in terms of voltage, current and power. Therefore, the solar tracker is proven more effective for capturing the maximum sunlight source for solar harvesting applications.
