Design and Development of a System for Managing Student Research: A Case Study for the School of Information Technology, Mapua University

Abstract

Student research, for so long, has been a challenging task, not just for the students but also for the supervisors and coordinators who manage multiple groups of students. The system aims to streamline the grueling process from topic selection to archiving and indexing to reduce, if not eliminate, manual intervention. Envisioned as a one-stop shop for the stakeholders, the system provides a dashboard, email notification for pending approval or assignment to the professor or revision from the students, defense scheduling, and electronic document management. The scope of the system includes not just undergraduate students but also the school's graduate and post-graduate students.
