Abstract

You can fail at what you do not want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love, a very well said quote by Jim Carrey that has brought me this far in my studying period. All Glory to God in the Highest, as throughout this period of studies I was not doing it alone as there were a few people who were involve directly and indirectly whom I wish to appreciate. First and foremost, I would like to thank my very own supervisor, Mr Tay Tee Tiong who guided me throughout this project. Without the assistance and dedication he showed throughout my project’s process, this paper would have never been accomplished. I would like to thank him for his persistence and effort to guide me in this project, providing many ideas to solve my project’s problem especially on the experiment section. In June 2019 as I started my project proposal, Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (Main Campus) has given me the place and opportunity to graduate. Not forgetting the lab assistant, Mr Syafiq who has taught me to use the 3D printer and given me support doing this project. In addition, I would like to thank Dr Lum Kin Yun who guided me in the electrical inputs during Intercampus competition, it has indirectly benefitted this project. As I have mentioned earlier, this dissertation was more than academic support and I have a few people to thank for listening, understanding and at times tolerating my stress during my college life and in this project. I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to my friends, Rachel Elizabeth, Edmund Ang Er Wen, Giam Kee Teck and Lai Jun Sang who gave me mental and physical support during the time I spent doing this project. I appreciate the friendship I have with Edmund whom has shared thoughts in this project and Rachel whom has given me mental support. Last but not least, all of this could not have happened without my family’s love. My sister, Jacinta Pauline John who gave me support during my experiment process in this project and indirectly given me support in listening and understanding me from where I come from during my college life. To my mother, who has always cooked and kept some food so that I could be filled whenever I come back late from college, loving you for who you are. To my father, who always remind me at 3am to get enough rest and take care of my health, loving you for who you are. I am forever grateful for these people in my life because this dissertation is a testimonial of the absolute love and encouragement that has given to me.
