Entry 009: Another Week of FYP

Mid-term review is getting closer as another week has passed.
During last monday, 1/10/12 we decided to try out more on IT stuffs (such as Excel, Access) for the ease of chemical inventory management. At the same time, we transferred the inventory which was taken down on hardcopy for labs T11B401, T11B410, W314 & W316 into a excel spread sheet. For the excel spread sheet, we re-designed the headers for the inventory forms in softcopy. This was due to a few redundant sections such as "chemical name","Hazard Class".

On Tuesday, 2/10/12, we continued our fyp by giving a kick start for the mid-term review presentation. We decided to use "Prezi" instead of "powerpoint" as it is a more innovative approach for presentation. We started by exploring the features of prezi that it can provide and decided on a theme to be used. Basically, we tried to focus on the mid-term review and include what should be included during the presentation for that day.

On Wednesday, 3/10/12, before meeting out supervisor, we went to prepare what we have done in a proper manner. During the meeting with out supervisor,we presented to her what we have done so far. First we showed her the chemical list of the various labs (T11B401,T11B410,W314 &W316) and the re-designed inventory form in soft copy. She reviewed it and gave us some advice and corrections/improvements to what we have done. Next, we presented to her the soft copy of inventory forms and the re-designed chemical inventor and finally the prezi presentation. We were told to look out for legislation under National Environment Agency(NEA) to see what are the requirements of an inventory list so that we can improve on our forms.

On Thursday, we printed out the questionnair survey forms and went to various lab to ask for the TSO's response. In addition to that, we also interviewed them on some of the problems/constraints they faced during recording. Through these response, we should be able to think of ways to ease those TSOs with the problems they are facing.

As for friday, we decided to brainstorm online and improve on our mid-term review presentation. Thats all for now~
