TITLE
 Examples:
PLDT Communications System:

A Case Study
GV Broadcasting System:
A Case Study
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
 In
a single paragraph, state the
adopted company and its brief nature
which includes:
◦ Location
◦ Telecommunications services offered
◦ Telecommunications system used
◦ Nature and typical size of information
sent over the telecom system used
TIME CONTEXT
 In
a single paragraph, state the date
the study started, the duration of the
entire study and the date the study
culminated.
VIEWPOINT
 On another paragraph, provide the
general description of those
individuals (name, profession and
company related to) who were
involved in the:
◦ Design of the system
◦ Installation of the system
◦ Operation of the system
◦ Maintenance of the system
RELEVANT FACTS
 Design of the communication system
◦ Create a block diagram of the communication system.
◦ Briefly discuss each block of the diagram from its
general description (how information transferred from
Tx to Rx including its operating frequency) up to the
details of the electronic and communication devices
used which build up the block.
◦ A picture of the whole system will be great if you will
be allowed.
TRANSMITTER RECEIVER
RELEVANT FACTS
 Operation of the system
◦ Discuss the following in series of
paragraphs:
 Provide the general system flow in checking the
operation of the system.
 State all the indications (manual or automatic)
that the system is working fine including values
that should be maintained on each electronic
device building up the whole system.
 State how often the system is checked.
RELEVANT FACTS
 Maintenance and troubleshooting of the
system
◦ Discuss the following in a series of
paragraph:
 How often the system experienced downtime?
 What are the usual causes of downtime?
 How do they determine which part of the system is
contributing to the downtime of the system?
 What are the usual troubleshooting steps for each
electronic and communication devices who were
identified to malfunction?
PROBLEM / ISSUES STATEMENT
 Problems or issues which you have seen
on the communication system during the
conduct of the study which includes but
not limited to the following:
◦ Design of the communication system
◦ Operation of the communication
system
◦ Maintenance of the communication
system
ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION
(ACA)
 Enumerate in sentence form your
alternative plan of action to address
the problems or issues about the
communication system.
 One statement for each problem or
issue
FRAMEWORK OF THE STUDY
 Based from the identified problems, create a
framework (block diagram) which will illustrate
on how to improve the whole communication
system (based from your observation/evaluation)
from its design up to the equipment used.
 Verify if there were new electronics and
communication equipment available in the

internet which can improve the system.
 Check System Engineering books if the process
used by the company follows accepted models in

operating and maintaining a system.

RESULTS
 Create alternative course of action
design based from the accepted
theories in the design of the system
and models in checking the operation
of the system.
 Models are general so modify them to
fit system of the adopted company.

ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION
 What will be the possible benefits in
following your ACA? How will it
improve the system?
 What are the possible problems in
following your ACA?

CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
 Ingeneral, what can you say about the
existing communication system and
what are your possible
recommendation on the existing
system.
OTHER REQUIREMENTS
 Provide video transcript on all the
interviews to be made using CD.
 Include on the appendices, pictures of
the whole group visiting the company.

 Use proper citation (APA) on all the
information which will be included on

the manuscript from books, internet
and even verbal information.
In text citation
According to Jones (1998), "Students often had difficulty
using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (p.
199).
Jones (1998) found "students often had difficulty using APA

style" (p. 199); what implications does this have for teachers?
Jones's (1998) study found the following:

Students often had difficulty using APA style,
especially when it was their first time citing sources.
This difficulty could be attributed to the fact that many
students failed to purchase a style manual or to ask
their teacher for help. (p. 199)
In text citation
A. P. Smith also claimed that many of her
students had difficulties with APA style
(personal communication, November 3,
2002).
Another study of students and research

decisions discovered that students succeeded
with tutoring ("Tutoring and APA," n.d.).
