adequate level of expertise for the
task you are proposing since you
need to do the work yourself
4.) Researchable/ Feasibility

defined and measured that can
answer the question.

5.) The research questions


should be neither too
broad nor too narrow
Suggested

Research Problem: The need to have a safer,
comfortable, and healthful walk or transfer of
students from place to place in the UST campus

Research Topic: The Construction of a


Covered Pathway in the UST Campus
General Question: What kind of covered path
should UST construct in its campus?
Specific Questions:
1. What materials are needed for the construction of the
covered pathway in the UST campus?
2. What roofing material is appropriate for the covered
path?
3. In what way can the covered pathway link all buildings in
the campus?
4. What is the width and height of the covered path?
5. How can the covered path realize green architecture?
Seatwork:
You are beset by a problem of year-by-year flash floods
in your community. This problem drives you to think of
one topic you can investigate or focus on for the solution
to your community’s flood problem. Perhaps, you can
research only one aspect of the flood problem, like
examining only the neighborhood lifestyle in relation to
floods in the area, the need to construct anti-flood
structures, or the practicability of more footbridges in the
area.
