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

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This study aimed to develop an Improvised Wheel Lifter. Evaluated the level of acceptability based on the perception of the experts and students in terms of Usefulness, Functionality, Safety and Maintenance and Durability. The questionnaire-checklist was used as major instrument in gathering needed data. The study was conducted at the University of Rizal System-Morong campus, College of Industrial Technology Automotive Shops during second semester of school year 2014-2015 and first semester of school year 2015-2016. The researchers developed the Improvised Wheel Lifter utilizing descriptive and developmental method of researched. It was anchored on the Coomb's System Approach and principles of hydraulic. The respondents of the study were eight 7(70%) CIT professors and 3(30%) auto-technicians in Automotive Technology. They composed of the experts and forty (20) 100% third and fourth year students who are taking up Diploma of Technology course major in Automotive Technology at the same University. Purposive sampling was used by the researchers in selecting respondents since they were engaged and exposed in Automotive Technology and Mechanical Technology. Based on the summary of findings and conclusions drawn, it is recommended that the device should be improved in terms of its accuracy. The device can be re-modeled and should be added with other features aside from pressure testing and measurements. Further research can be done for the improvement of the study in the near future to improve the function of the device and further improvement on the size of the device by reducing its size and weight. Finally, utilization of the developed instrument should be implemented.
