The intention was to enable students to be more focusedon their projects and also to ensure that the quality of the design output and theprototype fabrication could be optimized. TheGreen Designhad become the themethat was being emphasized by the final year students during the Semester2010/2011.Green Design is about designing a physical object that would comply with theprinciples of economic, social. environmental and ecological sustainability. Duringthe initial stage, students were encouraged to dynamically explore and study theepistemology of the selected issues.The purpose of this exercise isto ensure that bythe end of the final year degree project, students Willbe able to produce a productdesign that could be proposed as a solution to eliminate negative environmentalimpact completely through a skillfuland sensitivedesign process.Theproduct designwill also become a solution that will let usersinteract more with the environment andthe product sustainsthe environment maximally.At the end of the research exercise, students were able to propose various kindsof outstanding and potential project titles. The product consists of environmentalfunctional sculptures, furniture for public service areas, agricultural-based product,food packaging, safety and protection device and medical products. On theaesthetics and styling design aspects, the final year project exposes students to astructured design approach which emphasizes on the problem solving factors suchas ergonomics, technology application and contemporary design trends. Thedesignproject also challenged students to demonstrate their understanding and skillsinexploring issuespertaining to green and sustainable aspects, identifying the mostappropriate materials that complied with green design and justifying all other designfactors that could support designers in reducing impacts to the environments andmaximizing the green design application.Baharudin UjangJury ReviewThe design issuesof the product are relevant and deal with current contemporaryissuesthat are prevalent in today's global society. Issuesthat are highlighted throughthe designssuch as sustainability and environmentally friendly designs for products arevital and important. It is commendable that the students' works signal their sense ofresponsibility and accountability to support and promote green living. Moreover, it isalso clear and evident that the designsproposed and the issuesunderlying the designswill be able to help cultivate the public's perception and acceptance towards thewealth of green living.The research conducted by students is sound as the designs explore a niche areain design that focuses on a specific area of interest. The ideas cover a spectrum ofpotential products for the market - this isa good sign as it indicates the students' levelof awareness on global issues.Thestrength of the ideas isnot merely in the function of the product but also the factthat it addresses the practicality of the design and the associated emotive responseresulting from the designs. It is interesting to see the students' attempt in exploring thepotential of various materials deemed eco-friendly and sustainable. In addition, theproducts are also aesthetically pleasing as well as having a high commercial value.Thedesign ideas are overall strong and noteworthy.The proposed designs could significantly help solve the problems that are faced intoday's society. The social, cultural and environmental issuesaddressed from thedesignsof the products are significant and substantial, for instance, the safety maskandthe children's' personal alarm are designs indicative of the strong students' capabilitytowards design solving. Other noteworthy designs such as the functional sculptureand food/medicine packaging have great potential for production. Furthermore, thedesign solutionsdernonstrote the students' positive responsesand awareness towardsthe needs of today's society.169In view of this, it is recommended that the designs can be further improved andstrengthened as they appear to have the potential for commercialization andproduction. Perhaps, a closer look and further research on material selection can beconsidered in order to raise the standard of the designs for the global market.Safety Mask for Pesticides ActivityHasri Yunardi Hesson & Azrol KassimThe use of safety equipment products for nose, mouth and eye protection are often neglected during pesticide activities.The so-called 'pesticide exposure' can cause damage and harm to the human body. Among the contributing factorsare the lack of aesthetic appearance and the feeling of discomfort when using the existing safety equipment products.A research was carried out using qualitative and quantitative methods to understand the users' opinion on the lookand function of the existing safety equipment products and problems which occur during pesticides activities. Based onthe research findings and idea development, the designer has produced a new safety mask's design that combinedaesthetical value, safety and comfort. Besides protecting its wearer from inhaling airborne pollutants and hazardoustoxic, its design can fit various faces and uses a SCBA System for ease of breathing.3D RenderingManufacturing FunctionalInjection molding is a process forproducing parts from both thermoplasticand thermosetting plastic materials.Materials is fed into heated barrel and then mixed and forced intoa mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration ofthe mold cavity.Visor/LensProtect the user's eyes.Give the user clearer view.To protectbeing exp()s~chemical.

Although local authorities have introduced preventive actions toresolve this problem, the cases are increasing at an alarming rate. Therefore, in search for a design solution, the designerconducted a surveyto obtain the respondent's level of awareness on children's safety and their knowledge on the currentavailable self-defense devices. The design displays a product innovation that could help prevent children harassment,abduction and molestation. Thealarm system incorporated in the product will equip children whenever they are out inthe public and acts as a safety protection against psychological threat of criminals and bullies.LimShinYeeID registration: MY 11-00164-0101Award: Gold - PRPI2011Co-inventors: Razman Ramli, Nik Aizan NikAbdullah & HasriYunardi Hassan(> ,\,I x ,\ .,/173Hybrid Water BuoyRozman Ramli.

The absence offunctional and appealing seating objects contributes tothe underutilization of outdoor spaces fronting the SultanSalahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Cultural and Art Centre(SSAASCAC) located at Unlverslf Putra Malaysia. Hence,this may have influenced the public perception towards theimage of SSAASCAC. To mitigate the problem, the designerhas conducted a study as a basis to design the suitabletypes of seating objects and materials to be used for thesetting. The use of 'green material' is important to supportenvironmental sustainability. Based on the identifiableaesthetic and human needs, a stylish functional seatingsculpture is introduced to create a more attractive, livelyand usable outdoor space for people.• Mohd Nasrul Hakimi Mohd NoorID registration: MY 11-00166-0101Award: Silver PRPI2011Co-inventors: Hasri Yunardi Hassan & Nik Aizan Nik Abdullah179, \\; I\'I~\u III~. \ /, "U,.( --;.;._--~<~;• Mohd Amirru AbdullahID registration: MY 10-01579-0101Award: Bronze PRPI2011Co-inventors: Nik Aizan Nik Abdullah & Indastri SaionFunctional Sculpture FurnitureNik Aizan Nik Abdullah & Raja Ahmad Azmeer Raja Ahmad Effendi• tIt is imperative for a product to be designed in response tothe environmental issues. Designers have the tendency toproduce impressive styling while in many cases disregardthe need to address the environmental issues in the designdevelopment process. Thisincludes the lack of understandingon the potential of green materials for environmentallysustainable products. The designer addresses the concernthrough furniture design. Based on his study on the designand materials appropriate for Universiti PutraMalaysia's Banquet Hall, a new design of functionalsculpture furniture is introduced. The environmentalfriendly furniture uses biodegradable materials andthe appearance is influenced by the Pier MoundryArt which symbolizes the ceremony, happiness andrelationship elements in product design .181Eeo-RostrumBaharudin Suarnur & Muhamad Faizal Che LehAn effective corporate identity is influenced by an effective product appearance. The design concept, function andtechnology contribute to the image making of the product that can have a profound impact to an organization'scompetitive position. The designer addresses the issuesregarding lacking of identity of the UPM's rostrum and its limitationon the application of creative function and technology. A survey and observations on the effectiveness of the design,material and the corporate identity of the university's existing rostrum were conducted to identify the functional andaesthetic needs appropriate to the current image of the organization. A new compact and "minimalist" style rostrum isdesigned in compliance with the design issues identified in the study. A wood plastic composite which is considered asan environmentally friendly material is used to respond to the need for environmental sustainability.)\-• Mohd Zulkifli AliID registration: MY 10-01584-0101Co-inventors: Baharudin Suanur & Hasri Yunardi Hassan183'Military Medical PackMohd Faiz Yahaya & Siti Mastura IshakIn military units,soldiers usually depend on medical officers or combat medic in providing them with medical care wheninjurieshappen. In a worst case scenario, if an injured soldier isseparated from hisunit in the battlefield, matters will worseif communication is lost and the injury could not be treated by a combat medic. Therefore, with assistance from theMalaysian's Ministryof Defense (MOD) and Science and Technology Research Institute of Defense (STRIDE),the designerhad conducted a survey to propose a design solution for the problem. As a result, a medical kit for the individual soldierwas designed to be used during military operations. The product not only provides a multi-resistant and heavy dutymedical kit but also compartments that can separate and divide the medical prescription accordingly.• Ahmad NazirulWanchikID registration: MY11-00566-0101Award: BronzePRPI2011Co-inventors: Mohd FaizYahaya & HasriYunardi HassanPART7~tttoIblr... ...tI ,a£YI'ttll~tl~~I\S~.... 1tI1\~~,._.~ I<>4'IN~"''''$CJ.t~~._/\\I -.\ I/185O-isposableFoodContainerShahrul Azman Shahbudin & Indastri SaionEnvironmental problems are mainly attributed to theimpact caused by our lack of caring towards nature.
