Shahat; Sulaiman M. Al-Balushi; Shubair Abdullah; Mohammed Al-Amri Abstract: This study investigates a novel educational strategy in science, technology, engineering an mathematics (STEM) teaching that integrates the engineering design process (EDP) as a framework. The strategy aims to help teachers explain STEM concepts in a simplified way. We employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology to enable a systematic review that evaluated the effectiveness of this approach in improving both teaching and learning in STEM subjects. In order to fulfill the objectives of the review, key data were extracted from each of the 400 articles that were reviewed from three databases: Scopus, ProQuest Central and EBSCO. Two types of analysis were conducted, namely descriptive analysis and literature classification. This systematic review analyzed 44 articles on the EDP, focusing on 18 detailed studies mainly from ProQuest, SCOPUS and EBSCO. It revealed a limited focus on gender’s impact on EDP and a trend toward interdisciplinary use and integrated research approaches. The study underscores the need for further exploration of demographic influences and preparation programs in EDP across various disciplines, aiming to inform future research and educational policies. The study’s value lies in its comprehensive assessment of engineering design (ED) research over the past decade, serving as a key reference point. It highlights progress in the field, consolidates findings and provides insights into the field’s evolution, guiding future research directions in ED. 2024-03-06T00:00:00Z https://repositori.mypolycc.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/10440 Title: A METHODOLOGY OF HYBRID FIXED POINT THEOREMS FOR SOLVING FREDHOLM-VOLTERRA INTEGRAL EQUATIONS Authors: Mohammed Shehu Shagaria; Olochea, Paul; Maha Noorwalib; Irshad Ayoobc; Nabil Mlaiki Abstract: This paper studies a new notion of Jaggi-type hybrid (θ-ϕ)-contraction and demonstrates its roles in proving fixed point theorems within the context of a generalized metric space. We prove, using comparative examples that under special instances, the ideas presented herein can be reduced to some known results in the existing literature. To show a possible application of our main contractive inequality, iterative methods are developed for addressing the existence of solutions to a class of mixed nonlinear fixed point problems involving Volterra-Fredholm integral equation. 2025-09-05T00:00:00Z https://repositori.mypolycc.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/10439 Title: QUANTUM-DEFORMED GROWTH GEOMETRY IN THE OPEN UNIT DISK, WITH APPLICATIONS IN SUBORDINATION, EXTREMAL FUNCTIONS, AND PHASE TRANSITIONS Authors: Rabha W. Ibrahim Abstract: This paper introduces a new (q, τ)–balanced growth class of analytic functions in the unit disk, motivated by quantum–deformation computing and scale–dependent geometric analysis. The aim is to develop a geometric framework that simultaneously captures radial growth and angular distortion through finite–scale (q, τ)–deformations. The proposed class is defined via a nonlinear admissibility condition involving a (q, τ)–deformed logarithmic growth factor. Unlike classical starlike and spiral-like families characterized by half–plane constraints, the new class is governed by a parabolic admissible region incorporating quadratic damping effects. A generalized Jack lemma in the (q, τ)–setting is established and applied to derive a sharp subordination theorem with an explicit dominant mapping. The theoretical analysis is complemented by extremal function techniques and conformal visualization of the dominant mappings. The developed approach yields explicit starlikeness radius results together with sharp extremal functions that attain the admissibility boundary. A geometric phase diagram in the parameter space (α, β, q, τ) is obtained, separating regions of full radial coherence, critical transition, and loss of starlikeness. The conformal plots demonstrate how the deformation parameters contract the admissible domain and influence extremal directions. Several known classical results are recovered as limiting cases of the proposed framework. The paper introduces a novel (q, τ)–balanced growth structure combining quantum–deformation concepts, nonlinear admissibility methods, and geometric function theory within a unified setting. The use of a parabolic admissibility region together with finite–scale logarithmic deformation provides a new perspective on analytic growth phenomena and extends classical starlike theory to a broader nonlocal geometric regime. 2026-05-07T00:00:00Z https://repositori.mypolycc.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/10438 Title: IOT-BASED SMART HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM Authors: Zhamira Azreen Shazali; Jais Lias Abstract: This work presents a smart home automation system using IoT technology to enhance convenience, efficiency, and security. It allows users to control household devices via an IoT app connected to a Wi-Fi network, with data stored in Firebase for real-time synchronization. Key features include automatic lighting controlled by a PIR sensor to save energy and an automatic fan system with a DHT11 sensor that adjusts based on room temperature for comfort. The smart door system uses an RFID reader and servo motor to open/close the door, with an LCD showing its status. An ESP32 camera captures images when the doorbell is pressed, enhancing security. The IoT app enables remote device control via smartphones. EEPROM stores data like Wi-Fi credentials for reconnection after power interruptions. This system demonstrates how IoT can create smarter, energy-efficient homes with automated control, remote monitoring, and efficient data management. 2025-10-30T00:00:00Z
