Design, Development and Implementation of a Diesel Rotary Injection Pump Mock-up for Autotronics Education and Research

This research endeavors to design and integrate a diesel rotary injection pump instructional tool into the BS in Autotronics program at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. The pedagogical tool is expected to significantly enhance the academic performance of BS in Autotronics students by providing them with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of diesel rotary injection pump functionality. The study addresses the knowledge gap in the functionality of diesel rotary pumps, which is perceived as a significant challenge in the program. The learning outcomes demonstrate the development of student's cognitive skills, encompassing the rotary injection pump's theoretical and operational aspects. Furthermore, the actual laboratory activities utilizing the functional components of the mockup provide evidence of the expected manipulative skill set developed during the course coverage, ultimately preparing students for occupational applications in the field of autotronics.
