Abstract

The study was focused on the design and development of An Industrial Process Simulator for Teaching Electrical/ElectronicTechnology Courses . This project development research tried to achieve the following objectives: (1. To design and construct a valuable, innovative and inexpensive prototype for electrical and electronics instructional equipment; 2. Test the performance of the developed prototype in conformity to its design parameters and operational limitations; and 3. To determine the acceptability of the developed prototypes in terms of its functionality, aesthetics, economy, workability, durability, safety and instructional applicability). The five-point Likert’s scale was used to determine the descriptive meaning of the indicators of the variables used. Furthermore, the Weighted Average Mean (WAM) was used to interpret the equivalent meaning of the data gathered. Evaluation result shows that the project obtained an overall mean of 4.72 which means that the completed project is “HIGHLY ACCEPTABLE” to the evaluators based on the criteria of functionality, aesthetics, durability,workability economy, safety and instructional applicability
