Reminders:
1. All Italic words are reminders only. These are instructions on what should be the
contents of every category. Read them carefully and follow the instructions.
2. All words that are normal in fonts are sample statements in every category or
sub-topic. You can use them as guide in writing your own. But remember that
these are only sample statements, therefore, you should not imitate the length
but you have to lengthen the statements based on the details that you have to
deliver.
3. Statements with no particular formatting and are enclosed with () must be
decided which information to write since there will be two sample phrases inside
the symbols.
4. All titles must be written in Bold letters similar to the sample.
5. Numbering and text alignment including margins and indentions are already
applied in the following statements and pages, so you just have to edit this
document to comply with the required format.
6. Font style used in this document is Candara. Font style should by applied based on
the following criteria:
a. Students under CpE412 Software Engineering, use Cambria Font Style, Size
12.
b. Students under IT412 Systems Analysis and Design 2, use Bookman Old
Style, Size 12.
7. Chapter 1 is entitled The Problem and its Backgound therefore, this chapter will
discuss the source of the problem and how you wanted to solve the problem.
However, this chapter should not yet state any concrete solution to the problems
such as describing how the software or system is going to act in place of the
manual system (THAT IS WRONG). We are still in chapter 1 and we are only
DEFINING the problem.
8. As you write the introduction, the sources of information should be listed in the
list of notations and the full context should be written in the review of related
literature and systems. But remember that you must only write the gist in the
introduction. Sub-discussions or expanded explanations must be placed in
chapter 2.
9. In writing the List of Notations, follow the following format:
a. Books

Chapter 1
The Problem and Its Background
1.1.
Introduction
This is where the project is defined based on existing descriptions. The global point
of view or the global setting is also described in this part where the researchers must
illustrate how the global market has implemented the proposed project. The national
setting or national point of view of the proposed project must also be highlighted where
sample agencies or companies must be featured to clearly describe how the proposed
project is implemented. Finally, the last paragraph should describe how the client
agency/company performs the present operations and why there is a need to propose a
project for them?
First paragraph must define the project title based on existing descriptions
Second paragraph must describe the global point of view or the global setting.
Third paragraph must illustrate the national point of view or the global setting.
Fourth paragraph must describe how the client agency/company performs its
operations and why there is a need to propose a project for them?
1.2.
Project Context
This portion of the chapter discusses the concepts underlying the feasibility of the
project.
This portion must answer the following questions in no particular order:






1.3.
What is the concern of the project? What activities in the agency to you want to
enhance through computerization?
Who will be your respondents and who will be benefited and who will be
involved in this project?
When is the start and finish of the project or how long is the duration of the
project?
Where is this project conducted and implemented?
Why do the researchers propose for this project?
How the project development will be conducted?
Purpose and Description
This part discusses the purpose of developing this project and a description of its
purpose. This must elaborate what specific actions will be contributed to the development
of the project or what activities in the office will be covered in the project development and
why it has to be part of the whole project.
This project entitled “Point-of-Sale System for University of La Salette Canteen” is
intended to (improve the existing point of sale / develop a computerized point of sale)
system to automate the sales activities of University of La Salette Canteen.
This project aims to implement a computerized profiling system for the University
of La salette College of _____ to lessen the enrollment process where the student has to
write every enrollment his/her profile. The automation of such repetitive task is what the
researchers wish to resolve through the development of a Profiling System.
List the persons who will be benefited and how they will be benefited.
The College Secretary. This project aims to determine the feasibility of automated
profiling system for the easy collection, storage and retrieval of student information for
the help of the secretary. The secretary is therefore an essential participant in the
development of the requirements.
The Students. This project will aid the students in the issues of repeated activity in
writing profile during enrolment. The students will be involved in providing the
researchers with their desired process of submitting and updating their profile.
1.4.
Objectives
General objectives will be stated in this part where the researchers must describe
what they wanted to accomplish at the end of this project development. Specific objectives
shall be enumerated in such a way that the objectives will become attainable.
This capstone project entitled “A Proposed Profiling system for University of La
Salette College of Information Technology” aims to develop and implement a
computerized profiling system to aid the students and the department in securing,
storing and retrieving student profile.
Specifically, this capstone project aims to:


Determine the feasibility of implementing a computerized profiling system
Develop the system requirements or system specifications



1.5.
Desing and develop ____system based on the given system requirements and
specifications
Develop strategies in maintaining the implemented software and system
Prove that the proposed system is of great help in the company
Scope and Limitations
This part presents what particular activity in the agency is the focus of this project.
The researchers must therefore state on this part the scope meaning what part of the
activities in the office is covered and what is not. The limitations refer to what this project
cannot accommodate or what the researchers of this project is not going to deal with.
The proposed system and how the proposed system will work should NOT be
discussed in this part. Wait until chapter 4 that you have to discuss everything about the
system but not now.
