GUIDELINES FOR MERIT CLASSES
1.Student should make sure that they are
already enrolled in their respective methods of
research classes
2.Once enrolled, students are required to form a
group with a max of 5 members.
3.Group members shall conceptualize three
topics/titles based on their program research
areas.
GUIDELINES FOR MERIT CLASSES
4. Students must verify the topics /titles in the
database for uniqueness. If there are
duplicates, students should conceptualize new
topics.
5. If no duplicates, students should find a thesis
adviser and submit an Agreement Form and
Research Title Proposal and Approval Form.
6. Students must present their proposed topics/
titles to their Thesis Adviser.
GUIDELINES FOR MERIT CLASSES
7.Thesis Adviser should verify the topics/titles for any
duplicates. If there are duplicates, a revision is
recommended.
Next steps for duplicate findings
a. Students should conceptualize another
topics/titles.
b. Students must verify the topics in the
database for uniqueness. If there are
duplicates, students should conceptualize
new topics.
c. If there are no duplicates, students must
present the new topics/titles to the Thesis
adviser again until such time no duplicates
can be found.
GUIDELINES FOR MERIT CLASSES
8. Once a topic/title is unique, the Thesis Adviser
must sign the Research Title Proposal and
Approval Form.
9. Thesis Adviser must submit the approved
Research Title Proposal and Approval Form to the
Thesis Coordinator.
10.Thesis Coordinator must check for the last time
the Approved Topics/Titles in the database.
11.Once duplicates are found, Thesis Coordinator

to the Thesis Adviser for revisions.
GUIDELINES FOR MERIT CLASSES
12.If no duplicates, Thesis Coordinator will
register the Approved Proposed Topics/Titles
in the database and affix a Registration ID to
each approved Research Title Proposal
13. A copy of the approved topic/title proposal
will be sent to the students and advisers via the
Official UE email account.
14.Students must prepare documents for
pitching.
15.Students must prepare for the online defense.
AGREEMENT FORM
RESEARCH TITLE PROPOSAL and APPROVAL FORM
The Importance of Titles
The title of your proposal is usually the first
introduction, readers (and reviewers) have to your
work. Therefore, you must select a title that grabs
attention, accurately describes the contents of
your proposal and makes people want to read
further.
An effective title should:
Convey the main topics of the study
Highlight the importance of the research
Be concise
Attract readers
Writing a good title for your proposal can be
challenging. First, list the topics covered. Try to
put all of the topics together in the title using as
few words as possible. A title that is too long will
seem clumsy, annoy readers, and probably not
meet the requirements.

https://www.editage.com/insights/how-to-create-keywords-for-a-research-paper#:~:text=Keywords%20should%20ideally%20be%20phrases,closely%20related%20to%20your%20topic.
RESEARCH TITLE PROPOSAL and APPROVAL FORM
Keywords are a tool to help indexers and
search engines find relevant papers. If
database search engines can find your title
proposal, students will be able to find it too.
However, to be effective, Keywords must be
chosen carefully. They should:
Represent the content of your proposal
Be specific to your field or sub-field
Keywords should ideally be phrases of 2-4
words; single word keywords are acceptable,
but they may lead to many false matches.
Keywords should contain words and phrases
that suggest what the topic is about. Also
include words and phrases that are closely
related to your topic.

3. Geographical Information System
Description: Designed to capture, store, handle, analyze, manage, and present

It is a computer-based system capable of assembling, storing, manipulating, and
displaying geographically referenced information, i.e. data identified according to
their locations. GIS technology can be used for scientific investigations,
resource management, and development planning.
For example: (1) in disaster management and mitigation, a GIS might allow
emergency planners to easily calculate emergency response times in the event
of a natural disaster; (2) in natural resource management, a GIS might be
used to find wetlands that need protection from pollution; or (3) in mapping, a
GIS can be used to provide a visual interpretation of data. Google Maps is an
excellent example of a web-based GIS mapping solution that people use for
everyday navigation purposes.

Geographic Information Systems are powerful decision-making tools for anyone since
it allows the analysis of environmental, demographic, and topographic data. Data
intelligence compiled from GIS applications help companies and various industries,
