    Powering Sagayen's street lighting with in-pipe water turbine from irrigation pipeline
    (Department of Engineering Education- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, 2025-01) Ganoy, Roldan B.; Bentinganan, Adrian Paul; Olaiz, Nikko; Jerald M. Mutoc, ME-EE; Noel T. Casocot, EdD; Rowena D. Dapar, ME-CE; Alexander B. Briones, ME-EE, PEE
    This research focuses on addressing energy challenges in rural areas, particularly in Barangay Sagayen, Asuncion, Davao del Norte, Philippines, where the absence of street lights contributes to safety concerns and hinders community progress after sundown. The study proposes an innovative Pico-hydropower system as an alternative energy solution. The system utilizes existing infrastructure, repurposing irrigation pipes to create a localized and efficient energy generation system. The proposed Pico-hydropower system not only aims to illuminate the streets of Barangay Sagayen but also serves as a replicable model for similar regions facing energy challenges, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices and commitment to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

    Keen-edge bamboo barbecue skewer (KEBABS): development of skewer machine
    (Department of Engineering Education- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, 2025-01) Besina, Shawn Michael T.; Ormido, Cynt Marwen D.; Amang, Devon Ray L.; Jerald M. Mutoc, ME-EE; Noel T. Casocot, EdD; Rowena D. Dapar, ME-CE; Alexander B. Briones, PEE
    The methods of creating bamboo barbecue skewers present considerable challenges and market competitiveness. The traditional process of handcrafting bamboo barbecue skewers presents challenges in quality and production scalability. Machinery exists, but the financial burden might deter small vendors. The study presents a prototype design that will process raw bamboo into barbecue skewers. Developing phases such as slicing, shaping, polishing, and sharpening will process raw bamboo into bamboo barbecue skewers. Results show that desired bamboo barbecue skewers are produced along with deformed sticks, which will be classified if they are still usable. The study concludes that the prototype can perform crucial parts of producing bamboo barbecue skewers.

    Enhancing recycling efficiency: integrating sensor-based conveyor system with metal detection
    (Department of Engineering Education- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, 2024-09) Recta, Jhudiel N.; Hernandez, Jason Dave; Israel, Glen Jahn D.; Jerald M. Mutoc, ME-EE; Noel T. Casocot, EdD; Rowena D. Dapar, ME-CE; Alexander B. Briones, ME-EE, PEE
    The study explores integrating a sensor-based conveyor system with metal detection technology into a plastic shredder for superior junkshops. The aim is to improve recycling efficiency by optimizing waste management processes and reducing manual labor and operational inefficiencies. The integration aims to propel superior junkshops, notably Micro, Small, & Medium Enterprises, towards a more effective and economically viable approach to recycling plastic waste, contributing to environmental preservation and resource conservation. Conveyor systems with integrated metal detection mechanisms represent a groundbreaking advancement in plastic recycling within scrapyards. The conveyor system separates three types of contaminants: small rocks, nails, and bottle cups, using metal detection and magnetic separators. The findings indicate the success rate and a strong and dependable sorting mechanism. Ensuring the conveyor system effectively detects and eliminates all metal impurities from the plastic material leads to improved output quality. It focuses on improving infrastructure and updating industries to ensure sustainability, by enhancing resource-use efficiency and promoting the use of clean, eco-friendly technologies and industrial processes.

    Machine automation for innovative shelling (MAIS)
    (Department of Engineering Education- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, 2024-09) Presores, Jerson R.; Olores, Kyle Justine V.; Solon, Princess; Jerald M. Mutoc, ME-EE; Noel T. Casocot, EdD; Rowena D. Dapar, ME-CE; Alexander B. Briones, ME-EE, PEE
    This study presents the design and development of an automated maize sheller powered by an alternating current (AC) motor to enhance the efficiency of maize kernel removal. The machine features a rotating shaft with attached chains housed in a cylindrical casing from a repurposed propane gas tank. It is designed to process 3 to 5 ears of maize, with a maximum weight of 800 grams and length of 8 inches, within 30 seconds to 1 minute. A built-in display indicates operational status, while a protective cover ensures operator safety. The project aligns with Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in modernizing agricultural infrastructure and promoting resource efficiency. Testing confirmed the sheller's capacity to process up to 10 cobs while maintaining optimal performance. Automation integration reduces manual labor, increases productivity, and enhances operational safety. This innovation significantly contributes to sustainable agricultural practices, improving efficiency, reducing waste, and supporting economic growth. The automated maize sheller represents a step toward modernizing agrarian technology, providing a reliable and efficient solution for small and large-scale farming operations.

    Generating electricity through active recreation (GEAR): a bicycle generator for leisure and education in Energy Park, Tagum City
    (Department of Engineering Education- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, 2024-09) Lacanilao, Rhecar T.; Lucena, Christine G.; Salar, Ricmar Leo P.; Jerald M. Mutoc, ME-EE; Noel T. Casocot, EdD; Rowena D. Dapar, ME-CE; Alexander B. Briones, ME-EE, PEE
    This study introduces an innovative strategy for tackling the growing need for power while encouraging physical exercise and raising environmental awareness. The project's main objective is to create a stationary bicycle-generating system that combines recreational riding with electrical engineering, specifically focusing on the Energy Park in Tagum City. The Arduino will process the generated power, display the speed in kilometers per hour (KpH) in real time, and trigger functionalities according to the user's speed thresholds. The prototype has activated at level 1, reaching a speed of 16 kilometers per hour (KpH). The outer warm white LED strip has been activated at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, and the unlocked level 3, the rectangular signage "WE ARE TAGUM" is activated at 36 kilometers per hour. This study aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 3, 4, and 7 by improving wellness and health, providing educational awareness on energy consumption, and providing alternative energy generation. This project has the potential to bolster Tagum City's renewable energy initiatives, foster a culture of well-being, and impart knowledge on the production of clean energy.
