INTRODUCTION
Capstone Project is an undertaking appropriate to a professional field. It significantly
address an existing problem or need present in the organization. (IT) Capstone
Project focuses on the infrastructure, application, or processes involved in
implementing Computing solution to a problem implemented to an organization
(Section 2.2, Article II of Annex A of CMO 25 s.2015). Under OBE parlance, a
capstone project is the design completed by a student which results in an optimum
use of the resources demonstrating his competencies gained from his educational
experiences.

II. SUGGESTED AREAS FOR RESEARCH / CAPSTONE PROJECT

The recommendation of the Philippine Society of Information Technology Educators
(PSITE) and Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP) in choosing topics is similar
to the Thesis/Capstone guidelines issued by CHED contained in Annex A of CMO 25
s. 2015:

Software Development
-Software Customization
-Information Systems Development for an Actual Client (with pilot testing)
-Web Applications Development (with at least alpha testing on live servers)
-Mobile Computing Systems

Multimedia Systems
-Game Development
-e-learning Systems
-Interactive Systems
-Information Kiosks

Network Design and Implementation and Server Farm Configuration

Management
- IT Management
- IT Strategic Plan for sufficiently complex enterprises
- IT Security Analysis, Planning and Implementation

IS Planning
-Enterprise Resource Plan
-Information Systems Strategic Plan

In the light of the needs of the IT industry partners, CICT have revised the curriculum
for BSIT program in school year 2018-2019. The proposed curriculum offers
specialization tracks such as: 1) Service Management; 2) Business Analytics; and 3)
Web and Mobile Application which was
based on the skills and career opportunities that industry requires for IT graduates.

The following are the legal bases for the revision of BS Information Technology
Curriculum.
  CMO. No. 34 Series of 2012 Revised Policies, Standards and Guidelines for
Information Technology Education (ITE) Programs Prescribing Specialization
Track on Service Management for Business Process Outsourcing.

Pursuant to the national development plan of 2011-2016, the roadmap for the BPO
industry preferred by the Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP),
the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Commission on Higher
Education and BPAP, Contact Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP),
Philippines Software Industry Association (PSIA), Health Care Information
Management Outsourcing Association of the Philippines (HIMOAP), Animation
Council of the Philippines (ACPI), and the Game Developers Association of the
Philippines (GDAP) – and representatives from various BPAP member companies
(ACCENTURE, HP, IBM, SPi, GLOBAL, STREAM), as well as representatives from
selected Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Philippine Association of the
Collegiate Schools of Business (PACSB), collaborated to develop a specialized track
in service management focusing on the IT-BPO industry.

The specialized track in service management following the CHED policy for
outcomes-based education aims to prepare students, from all types of traditional
courses, for a career in the IT-BPO industry by equipping them with the required
competencies needed for entry-level positions and for further career development.

 CMO. No. 12 Series of 2012 Policies, Standards and Guidelines for Information
Technology Education (ITE) Programs Prescribing Specialization Track on
Business Analytics

The curriculum for the Business Analytics (BA) Specialization Track is supplement
for the existing ITE programs offered by HEIs. The specialization tracks cover a
balance of functional areas, which increases competencies in understanding data
structure, data analysis and data interpretation. This knowledge can be applied to
any industry where data can be used for operational optimization and competitive
advantages. This can cater to both local and international industry demands for
analytics skills.

 CMO.25 Series of 2015, Article IV Section 5.4 Web and Application

Developers as Specific professions/ careers/occupations for Bachelor of
Science in Information Technology (BSIT).

The primary job roles of Information Technology graduates are as follows:1) Web
and Application Developers;2) Junior Administrator; 3) Systems Administrator; 4)
Network Engineer; 5) Junior Information Security Administrator; 6) Systems
Integration Personnel; 7) IT Audit Assistant; 8) Technical Support Specialist; 9)
QA Specialist; 10) Systems Analyst; and 11) Computer Programmer.
III. COMPOSITION OF RESEARCH / CAPSTONE PROJECT TEAM
Students should preferably work in teams of three to five members depending
on the complexity of the project. The adviser should be able to determine
whether the team can complete the project on time.

The capstone project proponents have the following responsibilities:

Keep each other informed of the Capstone Project Guidelines and Policies.
a. Keep each other informed of the schedule of capstone project activities,
required deliverables and deadlines posted by the Project Coordinator.
b. Submit on time all deliverables specified in this document as well as
those to be specified by the Project Coordinator.
c. Submit on time all requirements identified by the capstone project panel
during the defense.
d. Submit on time the requirements identified by the capstone project
adviser throughout the duration of the project.
e. Schedule regular meetings (at least once a month) with the capstone
project adviser throughout the duration of the project. The meetings
serve as a venue for the proponents to report the progress of their work,
as well as raise any issues and/or concerns.

IV. ADVISER / PANEL COMPOSITION

The project is prepared under the guidance of an adviser and presented and
accepted by a Panel composed of at least 3 members that includes the adviser.

Capstone Project Adviser

The adviser has the following responsibilities:

a. Meet the project paper proponents regularly (at least once a
month) to answer questions and help resolve impasses and
conflicts. In cases of failed attempts to resolve the issue, a letter
detailing, and justifying his/her decision must be submitted to
the Project Coordinator.
b. Ensure that the project paper is feasible. The project paper
adviser sees to it that the objectives, scope/limitations and
methodology of the project are well-defined.
c. Point out errors in the development work, in the analysis, or in
the documentation. The adviser must remind the proponents to
do their work properly.
d. Review thoroughly all deliverables at every stage of the project
paper, to ensure that they meet the department’s standards.
 The adviser may also require his/her capstone project
proponents to submit progress reports regularly.
e. Review and correct the project documents – its contents,
grammar, and completeness, together with the group and
prepare comments before its submission to the Capstone
Project Coordinator;
f. Promote the value of hard work, communication, and integrity
throughout the development of the thesis by encouraging the
thesis group to work on their own research.
g. Recommend the proponents for oral defense. The adviser
should not sign the Application for Final Project Paper Defense
Form if he/she believes that the proponents are not yet ready for
oral defense.
h. Clarify points during the oral defense.
i. Ensure that all required revisions are incorporated into the
appropriate documents and/or software.
j. Keep informed of the schedule of capstone project activities,
required deliverables and deadlines.

The adviser can also request, on behalf of the proponents, the

modification or elimination of certain revisions/requirements and
defend such requests before the final verdict is issued.

As capstone project adviser, it is also part of the responsibility to

sign necessary documents needed by the proponents only after the
documents have been reviewed. The adviser will also have the
responsibility of signing, along with the Capstone Coordinator, the
Capstone Project Approval Sheet. The Capstone Project Approval
Sheet indicates the students’ successful completion of the capstone
project. The adviser’s signature is the crucial endorsement that
confirms that the project meets or exceeds the standards of
excellence expected of BSIT students of the College of Information
and Communications Technology, Bulacan State University.

A faculty member assigned to be the adviser of a particular

capstone project would remain in that capacity for as long as
he/she is a faculty member of the College. If the faculty member
goes on leave, he/she may continue to serve as the adviser, or may
pass the duties to another faculty member. Any changes of thesis
adviser must be requested by the students in writing and are
subject to the approval of the Department Head of the BSIT
Program.

Panel Composition

The project is prepared under the guidance of an adviser,

presented and accepted by Panel composed of at least 3 members
 a: a Chairman (full-time) and two members (1 – faculty, 1-Core

(3) terms or semesters should be prescribed in the curriculum for BS
Information Technology to complete their Capstone Projects.

The maximum number of units that may be required for Capstone Projects is
nine (9) units.

Grading systems and possible honoraria rates for thesis/capstone project are
left to the discretion of HEI, provided that such policies are not grossly
disadvantageous to the students, and provided further that such policies are
documented and approved by the proper HEI authorities.

VI. RESEARCH / CAPSTONE PROJECT PAPER STAGES

The Capstone Project should integrate the different courses, knowledge, and
competencies learned in the curriculum. Students are encouraged to produce
innovative results, generate new knowledge or theories, or explore new frontiers
of knowledge or application areas.

For Information Technology Capstone Projects, recommended infrastructure and

its implications on other systems should be clearly specified in the final report
with the introduction of the project.
 The capstone project coordinator should determine the appropriate complexity
level of the specific problem being addressed and the proposed solution,
considering the duration of the project, the composition of the team, and the
resources available.

The capstone project coordinator must ensure that the project is attainable within
a given school year. The following major activities must be done accordingly:

1. Pre-proposal Stage - starts upon enrolment of Capstone Project I

2. Project Paper Proposal Writing - starts upon approval of concept paper
3. Oral Defense - starts after submitting the project paper proposal and
recommendation of the project paper proposal for defense.
4. Final Oral Presentation
5. Patent Process (via ITSO Optional) – Patent Drafting, Patent Application
6. Public Presentation - as recommended by the Philippine Society of IT
Educators (PSITE) – Research Committee), Youth Congress on Information
Technology (Y4IT), a school-based presentation open for public

PROJECT PAPER STAGES

The entire capstone project program officially starts upon successful submission of the
project paper proposal and ends with the submission of an approved project paper
document and other deliverables. The project paper has three stages. At the end of
every stage, each project paper proponents submits specific deliverables for evaluation
and acceptance by an adviser, and in the end by a project paper defense panel.

For all the stages of the project paper, the criteria used when deliberating the defense
verdict include:

a. complete and acceptable deliverables;

b. a well-prepared and delivered presentation; and
c. a productive Question and Answer session.

Stage 1 Pre-proposal Stage (Title Proposal)

Pre-proposal stage results in the identification of a capstone project

topic(s). This stage involves the following activities:

a. shortlisting/critiquing of possible capstone title

b. identification of the problem;
c. specification of the objectives of the project; and
d. search of related literature.

A consolidated concept paper from all research groups (from all sections)
have submitted to the CICT R&D committee and shall be given enough
 time to assess and consolidate all research proposals from all sections.
The local research committee as the approving body shall be composed of
members of the CICT R&D committee, namely:

1. CICT Research Coordinator

2. Core Faculty of Specialization Track and Capstone Project Coordinator
3. Systems Analysis and Design or Software Engineering Instructor, or
someone who has in-depth knowledge of the course
4. Database Management Systems Instructor, or someone who has in-
depth knowledge of the course

The only deliverable at the end of this stage is a concept paper to be approved
by the Project Coordinator through a pre-proposal presentation. The students are
encouraged to consult with the Core Faculty of Specialization Track, Project
Coordinator, and Area Chairs. The students should have an approved concept
paper before Project Paper Proposal Writing.

Stage 2 Project Paper Proposal Writing (for Oral Defense)

Project Paper Proposal Writing involves the following

activities:

a. search of related literature

b. investigation of existing solutions to the identified
problem(s)
c. evaluation of existing solutions
d. application of methods and theories learned to design of
a solution to the problem(s)

The deliverable at the end of this stage is an approved

proposal that includes a partial project paper document
covering Chapters 1 to 3, as well as appendices to include
proposed architectural design and/or theoretical framework.
These chapters include the Introduction (background,
objectives, scope and limitations), Review of Literature,
Methodology, and the description and initial design of the
system to be developed.

Stage 3 Oral Defense Stage

Project paper proponents are eligible for defense only if:

a. Chapters 1-3 copies of the project paper are submitted to

the coordinator at least (1) week before the actual
 defense date. Defense normally starts on the twelfth
(12th) week of the semester.

The four possible verdicts after the defense are:

a. APPROVED – authorizing research group to start

working on the chosen subject. The CICT R&D
committee shall be providing each group a list of possible
capstone project IT adviser, which has been identified
based on the faculty’s specialization.
b. APPROVED WITH REVISIONS- the research group
does not meet the required minimum requirements minor
revisions are necessary to enhance the document, for it
to be considered as a viable IT research.

c. REDEFENSE - Another formal defense is necessary

because the proponents failed to present his/her research
paper properly and/or the documentation contains major
errors.

d. NOT ACCEPTED- the objectives of the study have not

been met by the research group.

The verdict is a unanimous decision among the three

members of the project paper defense panel. Once issued, it
is final and irrevocable.

It is encouraged that the students schedule their defenses

within the first three (3) months of the semester, this is to
give the students more time to revise the project paper
proposal for verdicts of ‘APPROVED WITH REVISIONS’ or
‘REDEFENSE’. It also allows the students to improve or redo
their final project paper. The students can only pass the
semester if the final approved project paper proposal is
submitted to the coordinator before the eighteenth (18th)
week of the semester.

Final Project Paper Defense

(after completing the Capstone Project I course)

Entry into the Final Project Paper Defense stage requires the
completion of all foundation course requirements and
electives, including the completion of all INC grades. After
completing Capstone Project I, proponents should apply for
final project paper defense after having gone through the
following:

a. implementation/development of the solution (80%

functional)
b. analysis of the solution
c. testing and gathering of results
d. documentation of the results
e. finalization of the project paper document (10%
plagiarism report)
f. preparation for the project paper presentation and
defense

The following are the deliverables required at the end of this

stage:
a. the complete project paper document for project paper
involving software support systems or applications:
 the Technical Manual;
 the User’s Manual (If the system is immediately
deployable); and
 the functional software.
b. conference paper (if deemed necessary by the adviser)

Project paper proponents are eligible for defense only if:

a. the capstone project adviser recommends the project by
signing the Application for Final Project Paper Defense
Form;
b. three copies of the project paper are submitted to the
CICT Office at least two (2) weeks before the actual
defense date. Defense normally starts on the eighth
week of the semester.

The four possible verdicts after the defense are:

a. APPROVED WITHOUT REVISIONS – authorizing

research group to produce the final copy for signing of all
parties concerned.
 b. APPROVED WITH MINOR SOFTWARE AND
DOCUMENT REVISIONS– authorizing research group to
finalize, correct some software and documentation errors,
and provide the final copy for signing of all parties
concerned
c. RE-DEFENSE – research group has not totally met the
requirements as expected from their research work
however the panel of examiners sees that the group can
still complete what is required of them given the time
remaining so another presentation needs to be schedule
on earliest opportunity. The panel of examiners is hereby
providing the capstone project adviser the list of items
that needs to be revised by the group.
d. FAILED – upon careful deliberation, the output
presented does not meet what was specified and agreed
upon during the pre-final research presentation. Also the
panel of examiners sees that the amount of re-work
needed is enormous and advised the group to do a major
or total revision of their project.

The verdict is a unanimous decision among the three members of the

project paper defense panel. Once issued, it is final and irrevocable.

VII. THE PROJECT FORMAT

Upon completion of the Thesis or Capstone Project, the students shall be

required to submit copies of documentation of their work by team. This may be in
the form of a research report in journal article format such as ACM or IEEE
Format, a bound technical report, or comprehensive electronic documentation.
The format is left to the discretion of the HEI.

Suggested Documentation Template / Format

The left margin of the document should be 1 ½ inches and 1 inch for the
top, right and bottom. The font used for the entire document must be

Part 3: Final Verdict Deliberation

After the deliberation of the final verdict, clearly check (√) one box based on what was agreed upon:

 Project is Approved without Revisions – authorizing research group to produce the final copy for signing of all parties concerned.
 Project is Approved with Minor Software and Document Revisions – authorizing research group to finalize, correct some
documentation errors, and provide the final copy for signing of all parties concerned
 Project needs to have a Re-defense – research group has not totally met the requirements as expected from their research work
however the panel of examiners sees that the group can still complete what is required of them given the time remaining so another
presentation needs to be schedule on earliest opportunity. The panel of examiners is hereby providing the capstone project adviser the list of
items that needs to be revised by the group.
 Failed – upon careful deliberation, the output presented does not meet what was specified and agreed upon during the pre-final research
presentation. Also the panel of examiners sees that the amount of re-work needed is enormous and advised the group to do a major or total
revision of their project.
