 ABSTRACT

The findings of the study are highlighted in this part of the capstone paper. The
abstract should contain between 150 and 250 words of concise, straightforward,
and comprehensive statements that are sufficient to serve as a stand-in for
reading the capstone itself. This section shouldn't contain any citations or
quotations.

The components of the abstract structure are as follows:

 Background: a brief introduction that sets the work's background.
 Objectives: Describe the work's goal in one or two sentences.
 Method(s): A line or two describing what was (or will be) done
 Results: A line or two summarizing the key conclusions (or what you hope
to accomplish with the project).
 Conclusions: Summarize the work's most significant outcome in one
sentence. What do the findings mean? What will you do with them?

 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

This chapter serves as a backgrounder for readers to have an overview of the

study even without prior reference to other publications on the topic. The
introduction is the first chapter and must include the objective/s and justification
of the study as well as the limitations set by the proponent. The introduction is
the proper place to define any specialized terms and concepts used in the
capstone document.

1.1 Rationale of the study

This area refers to the discussion of the project itself with the
inclusion of the general situation in terms of its existence. In this
section, describe the main ideas and techniques. Discuss the material
in your own words and in your own views, supported by additional
background knowledge. It is structured to transition from generic to
specialized information. The background should be briefly conveyed
but not itemized. Just include studies that have something to do with
the current investigation in the beginning. Declare your work's
originality or your unique contribution openly as you close the
introduction. In the final paragraph, you typically describe your main
goal.

1.2 Statement if the problem

What the research aims to accomplish is stated in this section. This
section has two subsections general objective and specific objectives
parts.

1.2.1 General Objectives

This section serves as an overview of the study's goals and
general direction. It explains the aim of the study.
 1.2.2 Specific Objectives
The expected objectives are all clearly stated in this section
and may all be evaluated in one manner or another. Your
capstone proposal should be broken down into main stages
and include SMART objectives (Specific, Measurable,
Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound), which will help you
organize and negotiate your work with your supervisor.

1.3 Significance of the Study

This section describes or explains the potential value of the study
and findings. It should be clear here, the target audience for the study and
how the results will be beneficial for them. It answers the question – Why
is it important? To whom it will be beneficial?

1.4 Scope and Limitations

This section sets the parameters of the study. Limitations are the
inherent problems encountered by the researcher, thus, stating the
limitations of the study can be very useful for readers in interpreting the
results of the study.
 CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE & SYSTEMS

The review of related literature showcases previous studies and publications

relevant to the study and proposed system. This chapter gives light as to what
motivated the proponent/s in pursuing the specific field of study.

This chapter offers an overview of prior research projects that are relevant to the
ideas you want to convey in your own work. The literature pertaining to the
techniques you employed in your work should also be mentioned at this point.
The majority of your citations will be found in this section of your capstone essay.

A tip for structuring the information: Typically, broad information is presented first,
followed by published research that is most pertinent to the focus of your
particular research. Describe the broad themes that have been found in the
research on your issue. It is indicated if there are any gaps in the published
research, especially if the initiative fills those gaps. From what is already written
and understood about the subject, the literature review shifts to what your study
will add to it. Include a brief explanation of the significance of the particular study
emphasis and how it differs from earlier studies on the subject.
 CHAPTER 3
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

Include an in-depth discussion on the relevant technical aspect of the

project. It includes software performance, hardware differentiation,
implementation, constraints, and another technical aspect of the area of study.

It is essential to convey the technical background in narrative style. It is

advised to use subheadings for descriptions that are very lengthy. The order of
the items is based on relevance or topic. In addition to text, the author may
provide tables, graphs, illustrations, photographs, and other pertinent data as
required.
 CHAPTER 4
DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

Materials and Methods is the chronological listing of steps and procedure/s used
by the proponent/s. Methods used for gathering data, laboratory and field
experiments, theoretical and/or conceptual frameworks, as well as techniques
employed in the analyses of data must be specifically listed.

4.1 Conceptual Framework

It is a narrative explanation of the design that will help you reach
your project's goals. To visually portray the structure of the concept of
the research or project, the majority of the concept is depicted in a
graphical diagram (conceptual framework). The manual procedure and
the planned process for the proposed project are both provided.
4.2.1 System Architecture

4.2 Analysis and Design

4.6.1 Flowchart Diagram
4.6.2 Use Case Diagram
4.6.3 Entity Relationship Diagram

4.3 Development Model

Any of the following software development approaches may be
used, including incremental, throw-away prototyping, evolutionary
prototyping, traditional waterfall-type, and others.
.
4.4 Development Approach
Either a top-down or bottom-up strategy to development may be
used.

4.5 Software Development tools

 It should cover the following topics in detail: Front and Back-end;
Software reuse or not; Open vs. licensed software; and Selection
Criteria such maintainability, support, HCI capabilities, database
connectivity, simplicity, and learning

4.6 Project Management

Schedule and Timeline, Responsibilities, and Budget and Cost
Management are all included in this portion of the text.

4.6.1 Schedule and Timeline

It could include a Gantt chart, an Activity Graph, a Critical
Path Analysis, or other scheduling tools that will outline the
tasks that must be completed to reach the goal. The phases
and their subphases of the systems development life cycle are
often included.

4.6.2 Responsibilities
It need to include the activities and assignment modules that
must be completed by each team member.

4.6.3 Budget and Cost Management

It should include a comprehensive budget plan and explain
how each expense will be efficiently controlled during the
course of the research or study.
Bibliography

The only sources considered are those that were utilized or mentioned in
the research and have at least 20–30 author citations. The bibliography part of
the paper will be formatted according to American Psychological Association
(APA) guidelines. The categories in the bibliography listing must be arranged
alphabetically. These are the recommended categories.
