1. Appearance

1.1 Formatting1.1.1 Typing and PrintingMicrosoft Word should be used for typing. All final copies of the thesis

should be printed on a laser printer for quality printing. Use A4 paper of 80

grams.

1.1.2

Typeface, Typing Quality and Font Size

The entire text of the thesis, including headings and page numbers, should be

of the same font or typeface. Times New Roman should consistently be

used throughout the report. Computer printouts should be clear and of high

quality.

a. Font SizeThe body text size is12 point for Times New Roman. Text should not be

scripted or italicized except for:

scientific names, terms in a different language, and quotationsFootnotes or caption for tables or figures should be 10 point.

b. Headings and SubheadingsThese should be in bold print in font size 14 point.

c. MarginsMargin specifications are meant to facilitate binding and trimming. The

stipulated margins for the general text (body of report) are as follows:


6/36

2

Top edge : 3.0 cm

Right side : 2.5 cm

Left side : 4.0 cm

Bottom edge : 3.0 cm

All information including text headings, footnotes and illustrations should be

within these margins.

d. ParagraphsA new paragraph at the bottom of a page must have at least two full lines of

text: if not, it should begin on the next page. Use 1.5 spaces between lines

and 3 spaces between paragraphs. The following, however, should be

single-spaced:

explanatory footnotes quotations longer than three lines in a block reference or bibliography (except between entries) multi-line captions (tables, figures. plates) appendices, such as questionnaires, letters

e. Page NumberingEvery sheet of paper in the manuscript except the title page, supervisors

approval and students declaration must be numbered. The title page is 'i' but

not numbered. The supervisors approval is 'ii' but not numbered. The

students declaration is 'iii' but not numbered. Preliminary pages (all pages

before the body of the text) such as acknowledgments, abstract, table of

contents, list of tables, list of figures, and list of abbreviations (optional) are

to be numbered in lower case Roman numeral (iv, v, vi, etc). The main text

pages are to be numbered in Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc) and all pages must

be numbered.

The page number must be centered to the text, not to the page and must be

placed at the bottom of the page. Since the bottom margin is 3.0 cm, the page

number must appear 1.3 cm from the bottom of the page. No dashed, periods,


7/36

3

underlining or other marks should appear before, after or under the page

number.

1.2 EquationsEquation must be done in Microsoft Equation Editor. The equation

variables written in italic and number should be Arabic numerals enclosed in

parentheses on the right hand margin. They should be cited in the text, for

example, Eq. (1) and Eqns. (1) (2). Equations start from the left. Punctuate

equations with commas or periods when they are part of the sentence. For

example,

32 += xy , and (1)

42= tx . (2)

Text.

...

...

1.3 TablesTables must be properly centered on the page within the prescribed margins.

Each table must havea reference number (in Arabic numeral) and a caption.

It may be useful to group tables in each chapter together and to number them

in sequence. For example, tables found in Chapter 1 should be numbered

Table 1.1, Table 1.2, Table 1.3, and so on.

The word Table, its number and its caption (10 point) appear above the

table. If any table continues to the following or subsequent pages, the top

line of the page reads. For example: Table 1.1 continued. The caption is

not repeated. If a table is taken from another source, the reference must be

cited properlyat the bottom of the table(10 point).

1.4 FiguresFigures may be illustrations, graphs, maps, charts and diagrams - in fact,

anything that is neither script nor table. The word Figure, its number (in

Arabic numeral), and its caption (10 point) are placed below the figure. A

figure should not normally extend beyond one page. However, if it does,

the same guidelines for tables should be followed. Figures should be

grouped and numbered in sequence. For example, Figure 3.1 should be

located in Chapter 3.

2.8 Table of Contents and Lists of Tables/Figures/Abbreviations

A table of contents (TOC) shows readers the starting page number of each

major section and subsection in the report (see Appendix G). The topics to be

covered in the report must be carefully selected and organized. The flow of

the topics to be presented is very important in order to guide a relatively

novice reader in understanding the whole report. To an experienced reader,

the TOC gives a quicker way of finding interested information.

With the similar purpose as the TOC, the lists of tables/figures/abbreviations

are to enable readers to find the illustrations, diagrams, charts, tables and

abbreviation explanation in the report. Tables/Figures must be numbered

consecutively in order of appearance (See Appendices H, I, and J).

2.9 Body of the Text

The MAIN BODY TEXT should normally be divided into chapters such as

(See Appendix K):

Introduction Theoretical Background or Review of Literature Method of Investigation or Detailed of the Design Presentation of Data/Simulation/Testing Discussions/Evaluation on Findings/Design Conclusions and Recommendations

a. Introduction

An introduction is necessary to give a background, an overview of the overall

topic and the objectives of the final year project. The motivation to the

initialization of the project can be included. Its content should be general

enough to guide the reader gracefully into the subject materials.


14/36

10

b. Theoretical Background or Literature Review

This section is to discuss the theoretical aspects leading to the implementation

of the project. Typically, this involves the historical background of the

theories published in the research literature and the questions or ambiguities

arose in these theoretical works. Citations for the sources of information

should be given in the standard APA formats.

Explore this background to prepare the readers to read the main body of the

report. It should contain sufficient materials to enable the readers to

understand why the set of data are collected, and what are the salient features

to observe in the graph, charts and tables presented in the later sections.

Avoid reporting any irrelevant issue. Depending on the length and

complexity of the report, the introduction and the theoretical background may

be combined into one introductory section/chapter.

c. Research Methodology / Research Design

The project may be in one of the following nature:

Experimental research Design synthesis of hardware/software Development and application of theory

Depending on the nature of the project, the approach can be described in one

or more chapters. For experimental research, explanations shall be given with

regard to the equipment used to conduct the experiment, the function of each

apparatus, how the configuration works to perform a particular measurement,

sources of errors and how to minimize them, materials and ways to produce

the sample. For design synthesis ofhardware/software, detailed descriptions on

the techniques used shall be given. For development and application of theory to

solve a particular problem, the techniques used shall be explained in detail.

Mathematical derivations that are too lengthy shall be given in appendices.

Experiments conducted to verify the theory shall also be documented.


15/36

11

d. Presentation of Data

The data should be organized and presented in the forms of graphs, charts, or

tables in this section, without interpretative discussion. Raw data which may

take up a few pages, and most probably wont interest any reader, could be

placed in the appendices.

e. Discussion on Findings

The interpretation of the data gathered can be discussed in this section.

Sample calculations may be included to show the correlation between the

theory and the measurement results. If there is any discrepancy between the

theoretical and experimental results, an analysis or discussion should follow

to explain the possible sources of error. The presentation of data and the

discussions may also be combined into one chapter.

f. Conclusion and Recommendations

The conclusion section closes the report by providing a summary to the

content in the report. It indicates what is shown by the work, what is its

significance, and what are the advantages and limitations of the information

presented. Additional discussion shall not be added. The potential

applications of the results and recommendations for future work may be

included.

2.10 References

Every reference quoted or cited in the report must be included in the list of

references and sorted according to authors alphabet. Citation is required for

statement which expresses a fact that goes beyond the common knowledge of

the art. See Appendix L for detail explanation on references.


16/36

12

2.11 Appendices

This section contains lengthy materials which are not suitable to be put inside

the main text, for example raw data, equipment and computer programmes.

2.12 Final Submission

After the project evaluation, students are expected to submit ONE copy of Hard

Binding with attached CD and TWO extra copies of CDs. The CD contents should

consist of poster presentation, presentation slide, full report and project.

Reference Citations in Text

To refer to an item in the list of references from the text, an author-date method should be used.

That is, use surname of the author (without suffixes) and the year of publication in the text at

appropriate points.

Example: Researchers have indicated that more is expected of students in higher education

(Hudson, 2001) and secondary education (Taylor & Hornung, 2002).

One author

lssac (2001) indicated in his research..

In a recent study, research indicates (Isaac, 2001)

Two or more authors

When a work has two authors, always cite both names every time the reference occurs. For

works with three, four, or five authors, cite all authors the first time the reference occurs. In

subsequent citations, include only the last name of the first author followed by et al.

When a work has no authors

Cite in text the first few words of what appears first for the entry on the list (usually the title) and

the year.

Some general rules for APA reference pages:

Begin the reference list on a new page. The page begins with the word References

(Reference if there is only one), centered in the top, middle of the page, using both

upper and lower case. If the references take up more than one page, do not re-type

the word References on sequential pages, simply continue your list.

Use one space after all punctuation.

The first line of the reference is flushed left. Lines thereafter are indented as a group,

a few spaces, to create a hanging indention.

Double space between citations. Single space in the citations.

Use italics for titles of books, newspapers, magazines, and journals.

References cited in text must appear in the reference list; conversely, each entry in the

reference list must be cited in text.

Arrange entries in alphabetical order

Give in parentheses the year the work was published. For magazines and newspapers,

give the year followed by the month and date, if any. If no date is available. write

(n.d.)

Give volume numbers for magazines, journals, and newsletters. Include the issue

number for journals if and only if each issue begins on page 1.
