JAPAN, November 2024 – The Digital Thesis Checking (DTC) initiative took center stage at the International Conference on Engineering Education and Digitalization (ICEED) 2024, held in the picturesque city of Kanazawa, Japan, from November 19-20, 2024. Presented through the manuscript “Thesis Checking Revolutionized: Going Digital,” this innovative project introduced a fresh perspective on academic research management. Developed by the passionate team at Institut Pengajian Siswazah (IPSis) Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), DTC focuses on ensuring UiTM postgraduate theses meet formatting standards with precision and ease. By eliminating the frustration of manual formatting and reducing errors, DTC is a game-changer for students and supervisors alike, paving the way for a seamless thesis submission experience.
The conference, organized under the auspices of the IEEE Malaysia Education Society, with co-organization by the Engineering and Technical Research Group (EnTER), School of Electrical Engineering, College of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia, and technical co-sponsorship by the Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT), provided an ideal platform for DTC to shine. The initiative garnered widespread acclaim for its focused approach and its role in positioning UiTM as a leader in academic digitalization—aligned with the university’s aspiration of being “Globally Renowned, Locally Rooted.”
Looking to the future, the DTC team has ambitious plans to enhance its system further. An integrated platform is in development, allowing postgraduate students to track their thesis journey in real time, from the initial checks to the final issuance of the Senate letter. This innovation will streamline processes and ensure transparency and peace of mind for all involved, reinforcing UiTM’s commitment to providing world-class yet locally relevant solutions.
The presentation at ICEED 2024 was more than just a showcase of technological innovation; it was a testament to IPSis UiTM’s dedication to excellence and progress. With heartfelt appreciation to the organizers of ICEED 2024 for offering a global stage, DTC proudly embodies UiTM’s vision of driving academic innovation while staying true to its roots.
