element is addressed
PE 1 KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL BASE
PE1.1 Comprehensive,
theory-based
understanding of the
underpinning natural and
physical sciences and the
engineering fundamentals
applicable to the
engineering discipline.
1. I have a responsibility to
identify various elements
required to design the machine.
At the initial stage of this
project, I performed
mechanical and electrical
designs of the system and
selection of the components for
continuous passive motion
machine.
2. I would also like to mention
that while conducting this
project, I did not face many

CE 1.3.1 and CE 1.3.2
Career Episode 2: CE 2.3.1
and CE 2.3.3

complexities for completing
the tasks.
3. I used a controller Arduino
which has consisted number of
digital inputs, digital outputs,
analogue inputs and analogue
outputs. I performed
programming using coding
(similar to C language).

PE1.2 Conceptual
understanding of the
mathematics, numerical
analysis, statistics, and
computer and
information sciences
which underpin the
engineering discipline.
1. I have used two DC motors
to be used as actuators. CPM
machine consists of two
motors for controlling two
degrees of freedom that the
machine should provide.
2. I have been associated with
undertaking the entire AGV
system which has been
constructed by making use of a
combination of several other
subsystems which are
associated with working

Career Episode 2: CE 2.3.2,
CE 2.3.3 and CE 2.3.4

together to perform the desired
task.
3. I used Arduino
microcontroller based on the
development board with open
source hardware as well as
software. The development
board is used to transmit data
from sensors as well as control
DC motors throughout the
motor driver.

PE1.3 In-depth
understanding of
specialist bodies of
knowledge within the
engineering discipline
1. I used a microcontroller in
the project for Arduino Uno
R3. It is simply an electronic
board that is programmed to do
a specific function of task.
2. I have been associated with
considering while initiating the
project is that the AGV is
moving in accordance to the
inputs of the user and once the
AGVs receives the input it

would be associated with
following two of the liens in
the floor.
3. To complete the project, I
had gained significant project
objectives where there are
significant issues which are
required to highlight to make
the accuracy of the sensors and
distances of the robots.

PE1.4 Discernment of
knowledge development
and research directions
within the engineering
discipline
1. I selected the hardware
components used in the project
and choose the correct
hardware for preventing
damages.
2. To conduct this project
work, I used Matlab for CMP
machine.
3. I utilised my skills for
calculations in addition to
mechanical specifications for
assembling the robot with four
