Conceptual Framework

Figure 1 shows an example of conceptual framework. You need to explain the figure.

Definition of Terms Alarm an electronic Communication Direction Finder Power Supply

Chapter 3 METHODOLOGY

Project Development Must include the flow chart for the project development

Project Design Include block diagrams, schematic diagrams that will illustrate the flow of the
prototype then discuss each.

Materials and Equipment Used Hardware Software

System Process Flow Chart

Testing Procedures (example only) Modular Testing. Every module that is being used as transmitter and receiver shall be tested first on breadboard or in a PC-based interfacing. If the test is successful, PCB construction is followed. After the construction, the modules will be subjected again for testing in different situation while in motion and at rest, in separated rooms, and in crowded places.

System testing. The next procedure is to merge the modules and test it as a whole. Testing the sequential process according to the operation designated on each modules. Then simulate the process and check the sequence if satisfied. Test the systems range, sensitivity, and selectivity.

Finished product testing. After the construction is completed. Reliability and its accuracy will be tested. Also, test the project after the long hours of usage. Then, evaluate the system.

Evaluation Procedures The project will undergo evaluation in order to know if the objectives are met. In this project, the target users are parents with children who will try to use the device and evaluate it. For the whole evaluation of the finished project, 10 parents will answer the evaluation form. (See Appendix A).

Test Results Results in testing the accuracy of the system within and out of the monitoring zone are shown.

(Table of 10 Trials) Evaluation Results (example only) In the conducted survey, 10 parents were asked several questions in order to evaluate the project. For each corresponding question, they were asked to give rating of 5-excellent, 4- satisfactory, 3-very good, 2- good, and 1-fair. The results are then tallied and tabulated average is shown below:

Explain the table.

Chapter 5 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

(sample chapt 5) Summary of Findings From the set of tests conducted with the project, the project arrived with these summaries of findings regarding on its accuracy and reliability: In general, based on the test procedures, the project is a success in terms of its individual functions. The wireless transmissions show 99.9% functioning up to its limit. After testing it 10 times, 8 out of 10 are accurate reading while the 2 miss its spot. The battery has a lifespan of approximately 24 hours and it can be charged. It takes for almost 6-7 seconds before the relay turns on even though the researcher programmed it for 5 seconds due to system delay. Due to system delay, the system acts like it stop functioning for a while.

Conclusions We have concluded the following after the testing and evaluating: A device was developed to help the parent or guardian in monitoring their children.

A system was designed to identify the childs path direction and notifying the parent or guardian when the child goes beyond 7 meters. It is also designed to be a paired device wherein one device is attached to the guardian and the other device is attached to the child.

Overall the device is very good according to the 10 respondents.

(NOTE: Conclusions should be based on the objectives) Recommendations For this device to work effectively, the user must know how to use a compass, because the reference of this project is the true magnetic north. The LED displays the direction of the child and an analog compass tells the direction of the true north. Analog compass is used as reference to easily determine the direction of the child. Because of the limitation the project has offered, to accurate or pin-point a location, it is better to used GPS or other satellite based direction finding though it is too expensive.
