To unlock the true potential from this technology, educators are urged to introduce IoT in their curriculum to help speed up the process. In this study, the various studies in the fields of wearables in education, vocational training, medicinal training, Green IoT and Smart City are reviewed. The implementations of Machine Learning (ML) in IoT are also explored, proving its viability in tasks such as bunching and classification.

However, incorrect watering and fertilizing may result in plants perishing, not flowering, or not thriving.

This system seeks to water the plants based on schedule and user input automatically. The single, smart pot system comprises controllers and sensors to monitor plant growth and automatic watering and fertilizer. The sensors include temperature, humidity, and soil moisture sensors. The data is transferred through Wi-Fi to a smartphone application where all the data can be viewed. Additionally, the system will have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that shows the plant's current conditions. The plant status in the GUI includes information such as temperature, humidity, and whether the light is on or not. Information like when the plant will be watered and fertilized is also displayed.

Therefore, this country is prone to floods that are not predictable that causes the public to be unprepared to face potential floods. Although the authorities have taken some measures, such as the installation of the monitoring system, it is not efficient, expensive, and difficult to maintain. Hence, this study aims to design a low-cost flood monitoring system comprising a rainfall sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, controller (Arduino), and GSM modem.

Recently, some of the institutions adopted the use of dynamic QR codes for attendance monitoring. However, these systems are challenging to maintain and time-consuming. The student can easily manipulate signatures for attendance monitoring. Moreover, the QR code system requires the application on both the lecturer and student sides. The lecturer needs to set up the QR code while using the mobile app to use the system. Therefore, it is time-consuming and sacrifices several minutes at the beginning of each class. The student also sometimes has difficulty in using the app leading to manual data insertion. Therefore, this project aims to solve this issue by using the facial recognition system on a lecturer’s laptop to collect the attendances. This project requires the use of a webcam and MATLAB to perform facial image recognition. This work utilizes face detection algorithm in the MATLAB image processing toolbox to build a system that will detect and recognize the frontal faces of students in a classroom. Firstly, several images of students will be recorded in a database. Then, a GUI-based application automatically identifies a face and matches it with the database created. Lecturers will use the GUI on their laptops, and students will show their faces to the web camera for their attendance to be taken. The system was tested successfully where student face was successfully recognized and recorded in the attendance monitoring system. Only registered user faces will be detected.","PeriodicalId":407405,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Science and Advanced Technology","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115021110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different techniques are being employed in the Energy Conservation Opportunities (ECO) to achieve the recommended standard in Malaysia. Different materials and structural design of low carbon buildings in Malaysia plays a vital role in determining the average BEI rating annually. The Green Energy Office (GEO) building in Bangi which was completed in 2007 has deployed many of its efficient and environmentally friendly technologies to produce a BEI rating of 30 kWh/m2/year, reducing a total of 360 tonnes of carbon emissions a year. The efficiently designed structures of these low carbon buildings utilize many different energy saving techniques like natural lighting, tilting facade, building orientation and insulated concrete roof.
