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

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This study aimed to Improvised Tire Spreader and evaluate the level of acceptability based on the perception of the experts and end-users in terms of Usefulness, Functionality, Safety and Maintenance and Durability. The adapted-made questionnaire-checklist was the major instrument used to gather needed data. The study was conducted at the University of Rizal System, Morong Campus, College of Industrial Technology, Automotive Shop, during second semester of school year 2015-2016 and first semester of school year 2016-2017. The researchers developed and Improvised Tire Spreader utilizing descriptive and developmental method of research. It was anchored on the Coomb's System approach and principles on pressure. The respondents of the study were six College of Industrial Technology professors and four auto-technicians in Automotive Technology. They were composed of twenty third year and fourth year students taking up Bachelor of Technology major in Automotive at the same university. Purpose sampling was used by researchers in selecting respondents since, they were engaged and exposed in Automotive Technology and Mechanical Technology. Based from the result of the study the researchers concluded that there is no significant difference on the Improvised Tire Spreader with respect to perception of the respondents on the level of acceptability in terms of durability, safety and maintenance, usefulness and functionality.
