Subject: Request for permission to use AS6 corridor

Dear Mr. Lee,

I am an engineering student from NUS’ Career club in-charge in organizing this year’s
career fair. The event will be conducted on the first week of March. We would like to use
the corridor outside the AS6 building. We have chosen this location for the following
reasons:
1. The place is big enough for the booths we are planning to open.
2. Traffic is heavy in the said area so people could notice and participate in the
event.
We hope that you would let us use this location. We are looking forward for your
response.
Thank you!

Respectfully Yours,

Marcus Johns
PROJECT PROPOSALS
Project Proposal Title Option 1: Density based Traffic Signal System using PIC
Microcontroller
Project Summary: The project aims to develop a density based traffic signal system. It
is designed so that the traffic light signal timing changes automatically depending on the
traffic density at the junction. Traffic congestion is a severe problem in many major cities
across the world. Conventional traffic light system is based on fixed time concept allotted
to each side of the junction which cannot be varied as per varying traffic density.
Sometimes higher traffic density at one side of the junction demands longer green time
as compared to standard allotted time. The proposed system using a microcontroller of
PIC16F8 series duly interfaced with sensors, changes the junction timing automatically
to accommodate movement of vehicles smoothly avoiding unnecessary waiting time at
the junction.

Project Proposal Title Option 2: Generated Electricity on Staircase from Footsteps

using the piezoelectric effect
Project Summary: Electricity has become more than just a necessity for human survival.
According to International Electronic Commission, it is the versatile and easily controlled
form of Energy. The need for enough and cheaper energy/electricity of the people is
known worldwide and by using a substitute energy such as the generated electricity on
staircase from footsteps with the use of piezoelectric effect can be an aid in this problem.
Piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials in
response to applied mechanical stress. By placing the piezoelectric in between a foam
under the tiles on the staircase the people that will step to go up and down will cause
pressure that can produce mini volts that can be used as substitute electricity.

PROJECT PROPOSAL TITLE OPTION 3: Solar-Powered Throw and Tap Waste Sorting
Bin
Project Summary: The Solar-Powered Throw and Tap Waste Sorting Bin is a machine
that helps the environment to minimize its waste of the people that scattered in our
ecosystem. Furthermore, the capability of the machine can be a life changing in the life
of the people. Since it is not only for the environment instead it is also for the humans.
These machine can generate money in a waste. To elaborate infrared is installed in the
bin and it will distinguish what type of trash will you put. Also, the earned money will
automatically transfer to your I-Tap card like a beep card.
