mobile application. This application can search what University available and the
suitable courses for student who is complete program of study as SPM, STPM or
Matriculation. Furthermore this application is a standalone system where students
can use on their android phone offline. The goals of this application are to help
student eligible to entry IPT A based on grade. The problem statement for creating
this app are student difficult to make decisions on choosing which university
available and what courses are suitable based on SPM or STPM result. Nowadays
many students used smart phone and no such application in mobile without
connecting to the internet. The objective of this system is to investigate whether
student eligible to get IPT A based on the grade SPM/STPM. Also to assist the
students find a suitable university by just using a smart phone and to make
recommendations according to current development using android application which
people mostly used smart phone. For this system, the methodologies used are Expert
System Development Life Cycle (ESDLC). The expected output of this project is

or STM result.
User only needs to complete the form and insert the value of the result.
Then, the system will provide which IPT A suitable including the course.
b) Nowadays many students used smart phone.
A lot of people using the Smartphone or tablet to accessing the internet to
get information. A student who has completed the exam just applying
UPU without knowing which University eligible for the student.
c) No such application in mobile.
1.3 Objective
- This Get-U system embarks on the following objectives:
•
To investigate whether student eligible to get IPTA based on the grade
SPM/STPM.
•
To assist the students find a suitable university by just using a smart phone.

LITERATURE REVIEW AND PROJECT METHODOLOGY
2.1
Introduction
This chapter will focus on research about the existing system. This will
include collecting and analyzing data regarding research on AI technique such as
knowledge-based system. AI technique can be considered as a tool that emulate
thought to help in solving problems, this technique requires expert knowledge to
apply in computer programming. However, a rule based expert system uses a simple,
easy rule structure, and hence has been the most common technique in knowledgebased AI for developing Qualification admission to IPT A System. The rules can be
programmed using a simple ' if-else' structure in a natural language. As well as,
comparison between two existing systems.
2.2
Fact and Findings
During research, many Al technologies are analyzed based on their strength
and weakness, plausibility, as well as whether it is plausible to implement with the
upcoming system. The system would require at least 1 technology for this project's
purpose.
Other than that, research has been done between the existing system based on
the structure of the system, to determine how the related between membership
function using fuzzy be implemented to rule based.
© Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka

2.2.1 Domain
Both systems used rule-based as inference engine. Writer used the
relationship between each membership function to developed "Qualification to
IPTA". For this system, result based on result examination. The examination is
categorized in three groups, SPM, STPM and Matriculation. This system also can
make decision making like an expert.
2.2.2 Existing System
Sales technique is the body of methods used in the profession of sales, also
often called personal selling. Manual technique nowadays, the employee used the
method that called " hard close" . Each customer will be handled by salesmen or
salesgirl. Salesman or salesgirl gives training and learn many skills. Besides that, in
studies world, a program call "Jorn Masuk U" is a comprehensive admission
qualification ina university program that has been mastered through 20 years of
successful system. It is designed with the most practical and proven methods and
skills. Qualification admission into University (Get-u) is an application that replaces
this technique and student that interest to continue their study, only complete the
form and already have examination result. Then the system will give suggestion
IPTA including courses based on user needed.
© Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka

2.2.3 Technique
Research has been done to find the appropriate AI technology that can be
used in the process of developing the system. After evaluating the following
technology;
•
Fuzzy logic
•
Machine learning
Fuzzy logic can't develop a rule base for this application. The rule base
expert system is presented that uses an interactive question-and-answer sequence. In
this system, the knowledge (question and answer, rules) can be constructed easily by
an expert using English. Using fuzzy, users can determine a solution to a specific
problem easily from the constructed rules through the interactive question and
answer sequence. The questions and solution will be generated by a rule base engine
using existing rules.
2.3
Project Methodology
Methodology is the plan of which a developer would use to develop the
system. There are many methodologies to choose from and each of them has their
own strength and weakness. The methodology chosen for this project is expert
3system development life cycle. This life cycle defined as the process of gathering
the knowledge to stock the expert system's knowledge base - knowledge acquisition has proved to be the most difficult component of the knowledge engineering process.

2.3.1 Software Development Methodology
As mention above, the methodology used on this project is expert system
development life cycle. ESDLC is chosen because of its characteristic that can help
the developer to respond for the unpredictability of building software through
incremental and iterative work stages.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Background
Current information technology is useful for all levels of society, especially
the government, suppliers, customers, and more. Following this, many developers
have been developing android applications to compete in the modern era to evaluate
the performance of each individual or organization.
These studies tend to focus on developing android applications using Basic4Android
as a tool to develop this application.
This project is based on the decision support system category which using the
mobile application. This application can search what course and where University
available for student who are complete program of study. Furthermore this
application is a standalone system where students can use on their android phone
offline. The goals of this application are to ensure that student eligible to entry IPT A
with suitable course based on grade.In this expert system, android development tool
is used. User must complete the form provided by this system to getwhich course and
university are suitable for the user or client. Not only the type of course shown, it's
also with details course specification and what faculty provided.

1.2 Problem statement(s)
a) Difficult to make decisions which university is suitable base on SPM
or STM result.
User only needs to complete the form and insert the value of the result.
Then, the system will provide which IPT A suitable including the course.
b) Nowadays many students used smart phone.
A lot of people using the Smartphone or tablet to accessing the internet to
get information. A student who has completed the exam just applying
UPU without knowing which University eligible for the student.
c) No such application in mobile.
1.3 Objective
- This Get-U system embarks on the following objectives:
•
To investigate whether student eligible to get IPTA based on the grade
SPM/STPM.
•
To assist the students find a suitable university by just using a smart phone.
•
To make recommendations according to current devel?pment using android
application which people mostly used smart phone.
•
To make effective system for student to choose a University.

1.5 Project significance
This system application can be used by all people who have result in SPM,
STPM or Matriculation but not know what course is available and suitable depends
on the result they have to get the IPTA. In addition, this app also can help reduce the
cost and time to find out the information about the course and IPTA and the
condition to get University.
1.6 Expected Output
The expected output of this project is able to build android application that
intelligently gives available course and IPT A for the user. This application is easy
and more flexible also dynamic when we complete the form and insert the result.
This application will show the result available course.

LITERATURE REVIEW AND PROJECT METHODOLOGY
2.1
Introduction
This chapter will focus on research about the existing system. This will
include collecting and analyzing data regarding research on AI technique such as
knowledge-based system. AI technique can be considered as a tool that emulate
thought to help in solving problems, this technique requires expert knowledge to
apply in computer programming. However, a rule based expert system uses a simple,
easy rule structure, and hence has been the most common technique in knowledgebased AI for developing Qualification admission to IPT A System. The rules can be
programmed using a simple ' if-else' structure in a natural language. As well as,
comparison between two existing systems.
2.2
Fact and Findings
During research, many Al technologies are analyzed based on their strength
and weakness, plausibility, as well as whether it is plausible to implement with the
upcoming system. The system would require at least 1 technology for this project's
purpose.
Other than that, research has been done between the existing system based on
the structure of the system, to determine how the related between membership
function using fuzzy be implemented to rule based.

2.2.1 Domain
Both systems used rule-based as inference engine. Writer used the
relationship between each membership function to developed "Qualification to
IPTA". For this system, result based on result examination. The examination is
categorized in three groups, SPM, STPM and Matriculation. This system also can
make decision making like an expert.
2.2.2 Existing System
Sales technique is the body of methods used in the profession of sales, also
often called personal selling. Manual technique nowadays, the employee used the
method that called " hard close" . Each customer will be handled by salesmen or
salesgirl. Salesman or salesgirl gives training and learn many skills. Besides that, in
studies world, a program call "Jorn Masuk U" is a comprehensive admission
qualification ina university program that has been mastered through 20 years of
successful system. It is designed with the most practical and proven methods and
skills. Qualification admission into University (Get-u) is an application that replaces
this technique and student that interest to continue their study, only complete the
form and already have examination result. Then the system will give suggestion
IPTA including courses based on user needed.

2.2.3 Technique
Research has been done to find the appropriate AI technology that can be
used in the process of developing the system. After evaluating the following
technology;
•
Fuzzy logic
•
Machine learning
Fuzzy logic can't develop a rule base for this application. The rule base
expert system is presented that uses an interactive question-and-answer sequence. In
this system, the knowledge (question and answer, rules) can be constructed easily by
an expert using English. Using fuzzy, users can determine a solution to a specific
problem easily from the constructed rules through the interactive question and
answer sequence. The questions and solution will be generated by a rule base engine
using existing rules.
2.3
Project Methodology
Methodology is the plan of which a developer would use to develop the
system. There are many methodologies to choose from and each of them has their
own strength and weakness. The methodology chosen for this project is expert
3system development life cycle. This life cycle defined as the process of gathering
the knowledge to stock the expert system's knowledge base - knowledge acquisition has proved to be the most difficult component of the knowledge engineering process.
