numbering style. The necessary sections in chapter 1 includes the following

Figure 1.1: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I. Background of the Study/Introduction

Introduce your project. Give a brief review or overview of the technology behind your
project. Also discuss concepts that readers of your report

II. Problem Statement

What problem(s) is your work trying to address

III. Aim and Objectives

Write your aim and objectives. Note that you should have only one (1) aim and it is
expected to point to the title of your project. On the other hand, your objectives are the
milestones to be reached before you achieve your aim. They should ideally be three (3)
or a max of four (4). Example of a well-constructed aim and objectives can be found in
the next paragraph

The aim of this research is to design and develop an IoT-based weather monitoring
system. The specific objectives of this study are to:
i. Design and construct the IOT-based weather monitoring circuit using .....
ii. Develop a mobile application that can access the collected data using ……
iii. Test the performance of the developed system by…...

IV. Justification/Significance of Study

Why is your project necessary to be carried out?

V. Methodology
Give a brief overview of the method(s) that would be used to achieve the aim of your
project.

VI. Scope and Limitation of Study

VII. Project and Learning Outcome(s)
statements that specify what you will know or be able to do at the end of your project.
They are expressed as knowledge, or skills
e.g.
At the end of this project, I will
(i) Understand the basic concept of how Arduinos csn be used to build simple and
complex circuits.
(ii) Acquire basic IoT data collection and analysis skills
