Preface
InternationalResearchersClub(IRC)(www.irc.org.sg)wassetupin2001withthe
endorsement of Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR). The
vision of IRC is to create a vibrant and innovative research community for
Singapore, through the contributions of technical specialities and occupational
experiences from its members, and fostering strong networking and social inter-
actions of expatriates and new citizens with the local community.
WiththevisionofIRC,itisourgreatpleasuretoorganizeanIRCconferenceon
Science, Engineering and Technology (IRC-SET, www.ircset.org) for the younger
talents and researchers. IRC-SET 2015 is the inaugural conference of IRC, and
IRC-SET 2018 is the fourth conference. IRC-SET conference aims to provide a
platform for young researchers to share fresh results, obtain comments, and
exchangeinnovativeideasoftheleadingedgeresearchinthemulti-disciplineareas.
The students from universities, junior colleges, polytechnics and top secondary
schools are invited to participate in this conference to showcase and present their
research projects, results and findings. Unlike other academic conferences, this
conference focuses specifically on Education and Youth development and has
officially been given technically sponsorship from five Singapore universities,
namely National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological
University (NTU), Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD),
Singapore Management University (SMU) and Singapore Institute of Technology
(SIT).IRC-SET2018conferenceisalsosupportedbyScienceCentreSingapore,IT

The program of IRC-SET 2018 advocates the importance of innovative tech-
nology backed by the strong foundation of science and engineering education. By
exposing students from universities, junior colleges, polytechnics and top sec-

technical programme committee has selected number of papers to present in the
IRC-SET 2018 conference and publish in this proceeding.
