The major objective of the study was to design and develop a motion activated and temperature-controlled electric fan. It is the most practical and affordable way of keeping areas cool especially during hot and humid months. In the Bulacan State University, many electric fans installed in lecture rooms are left unattended even after class hours. This translates to unnecessary fire risks and/or excessive electric consumption of the University. It is in this light that the researchers developed a device that presents an opportunity for the development of intelligent appliances that can save on electricity consumption due to its innovative and eco-friendly features. Various designs were put forward and a careful consideration of each plan was done, with special considerations to the need for innovative appliances that can be very useful in terms of energy efficiency and environmentfriendliness through an integrated multi-dimensional sensor system. The study utilized the developmental research method in the fabrication of the project. The focus on the procedures and processes involved analysis, development and evaluation of the project and in validating the project. The steps involved in this method include the following: (1) studying research findings pertinent to the project; (2) developing the project based on the findings; (3) field testing of the project, and (4) revising the project. The project was developed in sixty (60) working days, where prototypes were subjected to a dry run and simulation period of two (2) weeks continuous operation. The actual operation cycles of the prototypes in accordance with the varying room temperatures throughout the day was also observed during this period, testing them on a varied number of parameters, namely: operation time, turn on times in terms of fan speed control mode and motion sensitivity tests. Evaluation results revealed that the project functioned according to its lofty expectations where it was determined that it was the appropriate design that integrated the most practical and adaptable configuration for the intended application. It is in this line that intelligent or smart ventilation systems have now matured, providing a cost-effective approach to managing hot and humid conditions.
The major objective of the study was to design and develop an electric tri-wheel scooter that would be used as a multi-purpose transportation medium in the Bulacan State University Main Campus. The project is developed to lessen the stress for people from all walks of life and circumstances. The project developed is made up of locally available materials. The project can be used indoors and outdoors, since it is designed to lessen the stress of some people who walk a great length. It is especially useful in indoor use, within the vicinity of a school, university, shopping and the like. It is intended for one rider only. It has 2 very important parts, the hub motor and the controller module. The hub motor is the one that drives the whole scooter assembly while the controller is the brain, commanding the hub, lights, sensors, etc. The scooter is powered using a 48 V rechargeable battery and can run in forward and reverse directions. The scooter can fit through a normal size door and is equipped with a sensor that enables it to function only when a rider is on the platform. The project functioned according to expectations, being a cheaper and environmentfriendly alternative as compared with its commercially available counterparts. It also provided a cost-effective approach to providing individualized transport systems in a wide variety of applications.

This action research explored the various issues of electronic waste (e-waste) at the Bulacan State University (BSU) with the end view of promoting awareness, education, and proper e-waste disposal. This research outlined the complex issues that surround e-waste, its negative effects of its improper disposal and policy recommendations to implement an effective e-waste management system in the University. The study covered the 114 rooms in four (4) selected colleges in the BSU Main Campus. The main survey instrument used in this study is standardized e-waste survey instrument as used in a previous study of the University of Edinburgh, Study on the Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), 2007. The said instrument was slightly modified to fit the research locale of the study. Based on the results of this study, the respondents are fully aware of regarding the presence of e-waste in the University. The study also found that there are a lot of electronic equipments in the University, and for this reason, there is also a considerable amount of e-waste being generated. The respondents also practiced only two e-waste disposal methods, namely: 1) store at the warehouse and 2) hand over to e-waste collectors. On the basis of the foregoing significant findings and conclusions of this study, the following recommendations are offered: 1) the school should sponsor seminars regarding proper e-waste management and disposal for students, faculty and staff; 2) teachers are encouraged to inculcate positive values to their students in terms of caring for the environment through proper e-waste disposal; 3) the school administration may also consider the implementation of the proposed e-waste inventory management system so as to further improve the current practices in the University, making it more responsive to the challenges of today.
