Web-Based Practical Exam Monitoring System (WPEMS)

The purpose of this executive summary is to give a complete view ofmy
developed project, which is the Web-based Practical Exam Monitoring System
(WPEMS). I developed the project for the purpose to complete my Final Year Project 1
and Final Year project 2 requisite. Thus, WPEMS is created throughout the time period.
Throughout the entire period oftime, I have been exposed to a lot ofnew things ranging
from various technological knowledge's, especially in manage and exploit some ofthe
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) functions available in Microsoft XP or
Microsoft Windows 2003.
I undergo my Final Year Project 1 and 2 under the supervision of Mr. Hilmi
Hasan, an ICT lecturer in Universiti Teknologi Petronas. Being a student under his
supervision requires me to constantly work perfectly in order to ensure the success ofmy
developed project, which is the WPEMS application.
WPEMS is a totally new system, where no one else in UTP has created it before,
and thus it is unique in its own way. Generally, it is a web-based monitoring application
for practical examination in the lab. Practical examination here is such programming
examinations or tests, where students need to hard coded their own program in the lab,
and thus the needs to constantly ensure the integrity ofthe examination is crucial. This is
due to the availability ofthe Internet which can be used by students to cheat in the
examination, because they can simply search for the examination answer or tips at the
Internet during their practical examination time. WPEMS can solve that problem, by
automatically monitormg^he running examination, and any cheating attempt by students
will be automatically logged, ^hs can reduce number ofpersonnel usage, and also
minimize the efforts ofthe lecturets to constantly walking all around the lab to make sure
nobody is cheating.
