EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This study primarily aimed to assess the Microcontroller-Based Egg Incubation with Digital Temperature Display and Candling System. The researchers used the descriptive method to show data and information about the present existing condition of the subject. There were (20) twenty respondents (15) fifteen students and (5) five professionals, in University of Rizal System Morong, Rizal. The data gathered were treated with the used of frequency and weighted mean. As to Overall acceptance, the obtained weighted mean is 4.50 for the students and 4.30 for the expert. Denoted that the student and the expert respondents agreed that the developed system was very much accepted in terms of Overall Factors. Based on the results, the researchers concluded that they were able to create a design and developed Microcontroller-Based Egg Incubator with Digital Temperature Display and Candling System Incubator and were able to measure and displayed accurate maintaining temperature of the incubator. It was also proven that the device could turn the egg in right interval without any disturbance. The Microcontroller-Based Egg Incubator with Digital Temperature Display and Candling System was found to be strongly acceptable and satisfying the desire of the end-user as evaluated by the respective respondents. Based on the result of the study the researcher came up with following recommendations: the developed temperature and humidity sensors is recommended to upgrade the means of detecting much accurate temperature; Much bigger chamber for the incubator to increase the capacity; Fan improvement of cooling system and egg turner and; additional features such as camera for computer monitoring system and automatic dimmer switch for faster cooling of lamp.
