Thesis Template - Master’s Thesis Presentation (591) - Computer Science Department

Aug 30, 2026

A Master’s thesis presentation template for a Computer Science department, organized to guide candidates through a full academic workflow. It covers a suggested slide-by-slide structure: introduction, literature review, system design, methodology, implementation, results and conclusions, contributions, future work, and references in an IEEE-friendly style. The template emphasizes evidence-based statements (common knowledge, referenced facts, or proven claims), effective problem specification, clear transitions, and practical documentation of data collection, testing, and tabular result discussion. It also supports adding diagrams such as UML and system figures.

Computer Science Department Title: Thesis Template by Candidate: Jane Doe Master’s Thesis Presentation (591) Computer Science Department Advisor : Jane DaProf, Ph.D. 2nd Reader : John DaRead, Ph.D. ChairPerson : Jane LaProf, Ph.D. Title: Thesis Template Introduction Literature Review Design Methodology Implementation Results and Conclusions Contributions Future Work References Contents: The Section titles (on the previous slide) are tentative This Section could be also called Problem Definition or Problem Specification 1. Introduction In this Section you would gently introduce the issue you are planning to address. Start with the Background of the Problem Describe the Problem is some detail 1. Introduction Provide some current solutions. End this Section with the paragraph stating that your project addresses (solves) this introduced problem in some efficient manner 1. Introduction While writing make sure that the Thesis is ‘readable;’ having a smooth segue from one paragraph to another 1. Introduction You are writing a scientific paper in IEEE format Each statement must be either: A common knowledge A fact presented in another paper (reference to that paper needed [1]) A fact that is proven by your narrative 1. Introduction This Section can be called ‘State of the Art’. In this section review each paper/document that you think is related to your problem and/or solution. Present only papers that are relevant and if possible very recent. 2. Literature Review Google Scholar is a good source [2]. Ask your advisor to obtain copies of papers that you need. Reviewing Web online content is also desirable. (Especially software libraries and tools). 2. Literature Review In this Section you would address the idea/concept of the solution for your research problem Typically you would develop a system with underlying modules. 3. Design Describe the system specifications Describe the modules’ functionalities. Do use graphics to depict the system. 3. Design 3. Design Figure 1. my System Design (deliberately blurred) 3. Design Describe each module from the graphics. Create additional diagrams: UML, Visio…. In this section you would discuss the methods on how you would proceed with developing your system as a solution to your problem. How do you plan to develop the system and its modules? 4. Methodology For each module (from 3. Design) explain how you plan to develop it so it satisfies all the requirement specifications. Any specific Platform, Hardware, API used. 4. Methodology In this section you would discuss the technical details of your implementation List your implementation platform details Discuss pieces of your code. There is no need to discuss all the code: Select only important and interesting code snippets to discuss 5. Implementation Did you encounter any difficulties: list and discuss those. Also describe how did you overcome the technical obstacles. Describe code runs and types of code tests. Code manual/usage pages would be useful 5. Implementation Figure 2. my Function Call (deliberately ambiguous) 5. Implementation x = 3 y = 4 z = calculate(x,y) To calculate z we use calculate() function: Start with describing your data collection process. Why this specific data? How much data? The quality of raw data (if any) and the quality of collected data. 6. Results and Conclusion 6. Results and Conclusion The details of the results collection process. (How did you generate/collect your resulting data?) Did you automate the testing process, how Summarize your results in a tabular format 6. Results and Conclusion * 1 2 3 4 1 1 2 3 4 2 2 4 6 8 3 3 6 9 12 4 4 8 12 16 Table 1. Resulting Table (deliberately ambiguous) Table 1. shows the results generated by my system program. 6. Results and Conclusion Each table needs to be discussed, and the conclusions about the presented results drawn. If not sure, you can say “we believe that there is a correlation between the results as shown….” 6. Results and Conclusion End the Chapter with the

FAQs

What is the suggested structure for the thesis presentation slides?

The template proposes sections for introduction, literature review, design, methodology, implementation, results and conclusions, contributions, future work, and references.

How should statements in the introduction be handled in this template?

Each statement must be either common knowledge, a fact from another paper with a reference, or a fact proven through the narrative.

What content is expected in the implementation and results sections?

Implementation should include platform and technical details plus selected code snippets, while results should describe how data was collected, summarize outcomes in tables, and discuss conclusions drawn from those tables.
