WEEK 1 (Selection of The Final Year Project & Supervisor)

Last semester (Engineering Design), we chose sir Azman to be our supervisor. He agreed to supervise us. He gave us a project from his previous degree's student. He suggested us to upgrade the project. The name of the project is DB-Con. It was about distribution board.

However, as diploma students, the project was too tough to handle. So we came up with new suggestion to do a smart dustbin. We call it 'The Deepest Bin'.

INTRODUCTION

         This project mainly focuses on waste management system. Thus, we've designed a handful of inventions that is a trash can designed to sound like the deepest bin in the world with combination of GSM technology to make waste management system more efficient. To throw rubbish in the bin instead of onto the floor shouldn’t really be so hard. Many people still fail to do so. The best way to change people’s behavior is to make it fun to do. This concept may encourage people to place garbage in a bin. By placing a simple sound effect it completely changed the experience of properly disposing waste. When the trash is full, the indicator that is integrated with sensor and GSM modem that are placed inside the bin will send a text message to the garbage collectors. This system provides an ideal solution to the problems faced by the waste management service and system in various places.  

AIM & OBJECTIVES

          

The aim of this project is to develop the prototype of The Deepest Bin.

1.      To create a project that will change people’s behaviour, encourage them to place garbage in a bin and make it fun to do it by placing a simple sound effect.

2.      To design and develop tools or components that can increase the efficiency of waste management system by using GSM technology to send message to the garbage collector when the bin is full.
