Abstract:

This study aimed to construct and evaluate the Continuously Variable Transmission on a Four-Stroke Engine Simulator for Automotive Technology Students at Marikina Polytechnic College during the school year 2022-2023. This study utilized developmental research in order to achieve its main objective. There were two groups of respondents namely, (50) Automotive Technology students and (15) instructors from Automotive Technology Department in Marikina Polytechnic College. The students and instructors evaluated the product by rating it with grand weighted mean ratings of 4.71 and 4.90 respectively, verbally interpreted as Very Strongly Agree (VSA) in terms of design and construction, durability and portability, usability and relativity, and safety and maintenance. The results also showed no significant difference between the evaluations of the respondents. Likewise, they gave suggestions for the improvement of the product such as putting label for each part or component of the simulator and additional features for safety like safety gear and attached removable acrylic board.
