 (a) INTRODUCTION

This template is intended to assist students in writing their FYP reports, by

referring to the report structure for BITS program. You should change
accordingly to your program as stated in the guidelines. Any changes of the
structure can still be made depending on the your supervisor's consent.

Students are advised not to change any of the templates formatting and
style since this template was built based on the FYP writing guide.

For the body of the text, students must use “Body Text 2” style in the
“Styles” window under Home tab1.

a.1 About Chapters and First Subtitle

For each chapter, type in the name of the chapter (e.g. Introduction) and
apply “Heading 1” style. The style will automatically add numbering starting with
‘Chapter’ in front of the numbering.

Create three empty lines before each chapter name. After each chapter name,
leave four empty lines for the new paragraph. Use “Body Text” style for the empty
lines before and after the chapter names only. For the rest of the normal paragraph,
use “Body Text 2” style, as indicated earlier. For next or new chapter, student must
start on a new page.

1
For footnote, choose Footnote style
 2

For the first subtopic in each chapter, student can use Heading 2 style for the
title. Do not leave any empty line before starting a new subtitle.

a.1.1 Second Subtitles

For the second subtopic of each chapter, students can choose “Heading 3”
style accordingly. Do not leave any empty line before starting a new subtitle.

a.1.1.1 Third Subtitles

For the second subtopic of each chapter, students can choose “Heading 4”
style accordingly. Do not leave any empty line before starting a new subtitle.

(b) Other Subtitles

For other subtopics in each chapter use “Heading 5” style for title, with
numbering (a), (b), and so on.
 (C) LITERATURE REVIEW AND PROJECT METHODOLOGY

c.1 About Figures

Figures are printed within the body of the text at the center of the page and
labelled according to the chapter in which they appear. Thus, for example, figures in
Chapter 2 are numbered sequentially: Figure 2.1, Figure 2.2.

Figures contain graphs, illustrations or photographs and their labels are

placed at the bottom of the figure. To insert label below a figure, click “Insert
Caption” under the “References” tab and select “Figure” in the dropdown list as
shown in Figure 2.1.

Figure 2.1: Caption Window

Click on “Numbering” and tick the “Include chapter number” and select
“period (.)” as separator, as shown in Figure 2.2. Click “Update Table” to update the
List of Figures.

 (D) ANALYSIS

d.1 About Tables

Tables are printed within the body of the text at the center of the frame and
labeled according to the chapter in which they appear. Thus, for example, tables in
Chapter 3 are numbered sequentially: Table 3.1, Table 3.2. The label should be
placed above the table itself and has the format shown in Table 3.1. Any text inside
a table must follow “Table Text” style.
