Thesis (Bachelor of Technology major in Electrical Technology) -- University of Rizal System-Morong.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This study aimed to develop an Improvised Power Saver. It was conducted at University of Rizal System, Morong during school year 2016-2017. The device was constructed out of locally available materials. There were fifty (50) respondents, ten (10) professors in Electrical Technology as experts and forty (40) fourth year students from Bachelor of Technology students as end users. It was evaluated in terms of usefulness, safety and maintenance, durability and design. The data gathered in the study were statistically treated using qualitative description, weighted mean and T-test. The Improvised Power Saver was tested for operation where trouble are observed and revised. Through try-out and revision made, the project reached the functional output and attained the project objective. On the acceptability of the improvised power saver. In terms of safety and maintenance, as evaluated by the end users and experts, achieved a computed weighted mean of 4.8 and 4.6 respectively, both with verbal interpretation of Very Much Acceptable. In terms of usefulness, as evaluated by the experts, it is also achieved a verbal interpretation of Very Much Acceptable having a computed weighted mean of 4.7. Likewise, the end users evaluated the developed device as Very Much Acceptable having a computed weighted of 4.6. In terms of durability, as evaluated by the experts, it also achieved a verbal interpretation of Very Much Acceptable having a computed weighted mean of 4.8. On the other hand as perceived by the end user got a computed weighted mean of 4.7 and is verbally interpreted as Very Much Acceptable. In terms of design, as evaluated by the experts, it also achieved a verbal interpretation of Very Much Acceptable, with computed weighted mean of 4.6. The end users likewise got very much acceptable with a computed weighted of 4.7. The null hypothesis that there is no significant difference on the evaluation made by the experts and end users on the acceptability of the Improvised Power Saver in terms of safety and maintenance, usefulness, durability and design is accepted, therefore not significant. It was concluded that the Improvised Power Saver can be designed and constructed out of locally available materials; the Improvised Power Saver was Very Much Accepted as evaluated by the experts and end users in terms of safety and maintenance, usefulness, durability and design. The null hypothesis that there is no significant difference on the evaluation made by the two groups of respondents in accepted. Based on the findings and conclusions, the recommendations were hereby offered: Utilization of the developed device and provision for mass production are suggested; A user's guide/operation manual must be made for easy use of the end-users; the device can be remodel in the future through a parallel study.
