The supervision of undergraduate final year projects constitutes a critical component of higher education, as it directly influences the quality of the student's capstone experience. So far the traditional methods adopted, such as physical meetings, email chains, and paper-based tracking, have proven to be inadequate, resulting in communication gaps, missed deadlines, and inefficient progress tracking. This project emphasizes the need to adopt a centralized, mobile-first solution over fragmented tools like general-purpose chat apps or complex Learning Management Systems (LMS). Taking into consideration the specific constraints and context of the University of Benin, Department of Computer Science, the method proposed by this project is a Mobile-Based Project Supervision System. However, this project focuses on only the design and high-fidelity prototyping of this automated system, providing the "output on mobile" as a "demo model." The design details a system where students can view their progress on a dashboard, track submission statuses, receive feedback, and communicate directly with their supervisor. This project makes use of a User-Centered Design (UCD) and Object-Oriented approach to system analysis and design; use case, class, and state machine diagrams were used to represent designs for the system architecture. These designs serve as the framework for a system that can handle the whole process of project supervision, from initial tracking to final feedback.
