Proposal Submission Guidelines

When preparing your proposal, make sure to include the following key sections:

1. Abstract & Problem Statement (15 Marks)

• A concise summary (max. 300 words) that clearly defines the problem you are solving and its relevance to the theme.

• Identify the target audience, pain points, challenges, and objectives.

• Show how your prototype addresses the problem and relates to the SDGs.

2. Concept & Decision Matrix (20 Marks)

• Concept Matrix: Clearly list the functions of your prototype and how each supports its objectives.

• Decision Matrix: Compare various prototype variations and evaluate their features, including user-friendliness, budget-friendliness, feasibility, and SDG relevance.

3. Methodology (30 Marks)

• Provide a 3D model design of your prototype from multiple views (front, back, side, isometric) with dimensions.

• Explain how the prototype works, including scientific background for chosen components.

• Include circuit design, flowchart of functions, and a list of components with their respective functions and applications.

4. Budget Breakdown (10 Marks)

• Provide a clear comparison of prices from different vendors for each component, showing variations and a total price.

5. Conclusion (20 Marks)

• Summarize your proposal and discuss future work and improvements for your prototype.

6. References & Appendix (15 Marks)

• List all references in APA or IEEE format.

Include an appendix with additional relevant information about the prototype (optional).

Prototype Regulations

1. Size Limit:

• The prototype must fit within 50 cm × 50 cm × 50 cm.

2. Materials:

• Only safe, non-toxic, low-cost, and preferably environmentally friendly materials.

• No hazardous, flammable, or sharp components.

3. Power Source:

• Power via batteries or solar panels only. No direct electricity connection allowed.

4. Budget Limit:

• Total cost must not exceed RM300 (excluding optional cube frame).

• Provide clear cost breakdown of materials used.

• Note: All costs will not be reimbursed by organizers

5. Prototype Functionality:

• Prototype must be functional, demonstrate innovation, and align with the theme "Engineering Sustainable Futures with AI."

6. Environmental Impact:

• Demonstrate a positive environmental impact that covers at least one of the following:

■    Water conservation / purification

■    Sustainable agriculture

■    Renewable energy

■    Waste reduction / recycling

■    Pollution reduction

7. Sensors & Electronics:

• Any sensors used must be demonstrated during the presentation.

• Sensors count towards the size limit.

8. Safety:

• Prototypes must be safely operated. No open flames, pressurized systems, or biohazard materials.

9. Intellectual Property:

• Teams retain ownership of their prototypes.

• Organizers may use photos/videos for publicity.
