- The document analyzes EMG signals from the bicep muscle during contractions while holding varying weights. It aims to quantify the relationship between muscle electrical potential and object weight.
- A biopotential amplifier and band-pass filter were built to capture EMG signals from the bicep. Signals were analyzed in MATLAB to correlate contraction magnitude to voltage differences.
- Testing showed a strong linear correlation between bicep contraction signal and held weight, allowing weight estimates from the EMG signal. However, further refinement of methods and portable implementation would be needed for physical therapy applications.

Different Geographical Locations
Submission – Hard copy of the report and Oral presentations are due
during tutorials on Week 16 (November 23rd
– 27th
2015)
2. INTRODUCTION
This assignment will focus on comparative research. Your task is to apply the skills you
have learned last semester in comparing similarities and contrasting differences to a
specific business/trade that you will choose. Students will take full responsibility for
their learning and the instructor will act as their facilitator. To this end, all required
steps listed must be followed. This assignment aims to enable students to start on the
road to becoming lifelong learners.
Your task is to study 2 trade or businesses in the Klang Valley and another place. If time
permits, you may choose to do ONE place somewhere else in Peninsula
Malaysia (i.e: One barber shop in Penang, and one barber shop in the Klang Valley).
The businesses that you are studying must have been around for at least 1o-15 years.
This research assignment must be conducted through a combination of both primary
sources i.e. interviews, data obtained through questionnaires etc. on the site visit. Before
you do this, you will have to identify the exact trade that will be the focus of your
research. In addition to primary sources, you will also use secondary sources such as
books, magazines, journals etc. You may also use suitable Internet sources BUT you
must ensure that they are reliable sources of information.
In addition to the research report, you are required to prepare to present the content of
your report to a hypothetical audience. For this you will be required to use rhetorical
strategies based on what has been covered in class. You will also be evaluated on your
presentation skills which would have been taught last semester.
OBJECTIVES OF PROJECT
The objectives of this project are as follows:
• To attempt to answer the chosen topic/question
• To use appropriate methodology in obtaining primary and secondary information
related to the chosen topic/question.
• To understand the basics steps involved in preparing an academic research report
and apply APA style citation accurately and effectively in the research report.
• To present the findings of your research in a formal presentation.
• To understand and apply suitable rhetorical strategies to a hypothetical target
audience as specified to each.
3. LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE ASSIGNMENT
On successful completion of this subject, students will be able to demonstrate conduct a
well researched report with correct format and referencing techniques as well as to
correctly identify their roles when speaking and deliver this information fluently and
effectively to the target audience. More specifically, each research report will:
• Identify the key issues in the question and explain them clearly and logically.
• Demonstrate the ability to prepare questionnaires and interviews to obtain
information about the topic.
• Demonstrate the ability to analyse and synthesize information and compile them
in the report.
• Communicate the relevant ideas and analysis in clear, logical and appropriate
academic English.
• Select and present information clearly and appropriately to one’s target audience
TASKS - METHODOLOGY
Your tasks are as follows:
a) Form a group with maximum 6 members (one member will be the group
leader) (N.B: If the number exceeds to 6 students, please meet the
instructor).
b) Select 2 businesses within the same industry for research purposes.
c) You will conduct preliminary research (via books, internet, newspaper, etc.) and
gather background information on your chosen businesses before the interview.
d) Prepare your interview questions carefully and please see your instructor to
ensure that you are on the right track.
e) 1 week prior to the interview, you will have contacted and obtain permission
from the relevant persons (e.g. owner, manager) to conduct a face-to-face
interview and on-site observations.
f) Also, read the guidelines in the appendix section of this brief for further
information on writing this research report.
4. g) Work on a draft to show the instructor at an available time, if possible.
h) Each group will submit a 2500-3000-word report (excluding cover page and
references) based on their chosen research area.
i) Show your findings in a verbal presentation of 20 - 25 minutes length.
j) The information sources for your research will come from personal interviews,
on-site observations and others (such as books, magazines, newspapers, and the
internet). Do not limit your research to only one source (e.g. just relying on the
interview).
k) Ensure that you quote at least 10 different sources of information in the report
and the internet constitutes no more than 30% of those sources.
l) Important: Ensure that you quote your sources (APA style) and refrain from
copying. I conduct plagiarism checks on all assignments submitted. Students
caught with said offence will receive a failing grade. Ignore this warning at
your own risk.
