This thesis is designed for use in the De La Salle University College of Engineering Faculty Room. Two personal computers are to be installed. One of these computers would be installed outside the faculty room to be used by students while another computer will be installed inside the faculty room. The terminal inside the faculty room is primarily used for faculty-to-student feedback, announcement purposes, and other faculty uses such as changes in schedules, etc. These computers are interconnected and programmed with a software with database that could be used to transmit messages typed in by various users (e.g., students, visitors, etc.). A digital circuit is interfaced with these computers to act as a transmitting and routing device to send the message (s) to any faculty member. Transmission of signals is all via transmission lines. A battery-operated receiver is located on the table of each faculty member. This consists of an alphanumeric LCD incorporated with a ceramic transducer and indicator LEDs to notify the faculty of an incoming message. In the event that a faculty is absent or presently not in his/her table, the message is then stored and could then be viewed by the faculty later through the display.
