The Integrated System Project is a subject that final-year students must complete as a requirement to receive the Diploma in Information Technology (DIIT).
In this subject, students will be given one semester to propose ideas, weekly consultation, prepare system design & development and final demonstration. Students are expected to do their work independently most of the time, but supervisors will monitor their progress closely. At the end of the project, students need to present and document their work in a thesis.
On 1 and 2 December 2022, sixteen final year students from Diploma in Information Technology at SEGi College Penang presented their Integrated System Projects supervised by their lecturer, Mohd Amizar.
In the session, Game Design still monopoly students IT in SEGi College Penang as their ideas to fulfil the development of final year project Diploma in Information Technology. In line with current trends, SEGi College Penang also wants to continue the current needs and trends in developing capable game technology as the gaming industry is profitable in Malaysia with increasing career opportunities for graduates.
As everyone already knows, the gaming industry is one of the fastest growing in the world, with mobile gaming and esports increasing in popularity in Asia. Malaysia has successfully capitalised on this trend, ranking 21 worldwide for game revenue.
Malaysian game studios are also increasingly collaborating with international game studios on games such as Final Fantasy XV, Mortal Kombat X and Uncharted 4. According to the Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation, Malaysia made RM687 million from exporting games in 2018, and the industry is expected to grow rapidly in the upcoming years.
Therefore, three students were subsequently selected for the best projects for the August – December 2022 session. They were Khor Gang Yi, Quah Jin Wei, and Oh Hounly.
Khor developed a computer-based application titled Captionizer, a programme developed to ease the process of transcribing a video or audio into caption and translate them into different languages.
Quah developed One Knight Only, an RPG dungeon roguelite game with a 2D graphics interface. Meanwhile, Oh’s project involves improving an existing system by integrating a new concept of tetris game to make it more user-friendly and able to adapt to the current situation. Oh name it BinTris.
The Integrated System Project aims to allow students to apply the knowledge gained through the Diploma in IT to solve practical programming problems. In doing so, it is hoped that the students will boost their knowledge and gain experience in solving problems systematically, thus when they graduate, they will be ready to work in many fields such as information technology, computer science, artificial intelligence, IOT and so on.
SEGi congratulates all final-year students and wishes them all the best in their future undertakings.
