This study aimed to develop an Instrumentation and Control Trainer to address the skills gap
in electrical engineering education by providing hands-on experience with industrial control
systems. The trainer was designed and fabricated with customize and special function
including electrical components for power and control system, programmable logic
controllers, switching and actuation of pneumatic mechanisms, sensors and flow
measurement tools, pneumatic components, indicator devices, and a durable stainless-steel
frame, all constructed parts using locally available materials. The research methodology
involved the following: a systematic approach to design, component selection, fabrication,
and comprehensive testing. Functionality testing verified proper operation approach for
individual components, while trial testing across multiple iterations confirmed system
reliability across all modules: motor control (Direct On Line system, forward/reverse
operation, adjustable motor speed using Variable Frequency Drives), pneumatic, fluid flow,
lighting, and temperature control systems. Evaluation using TUP's instrument yielded
excellent ratings across most criteria: Functionality test (4.61), Aesthetics design (4.53),
Workability or performance (4.64), Durability or stability (4.77), Safety (4.57), and Salability
(4.68), with Economy (4.46) rated Very Good. The overall mean of 4.61 (Excellent) validates
the trainer's effectiveness as an educational tool. The trainer successfully integrates industry-
standard components from leading manufacturers, creating a comprehensive platform that
bridges theoretical knowledge and practical application in instrumentation and control system.
This project study provides to enhance industry skills gaps by providing an effective training
platform that closely replicate real-world industrial automation systems.
