Abstract:

This study aimed to develop a programmable school timer which could be set to produce sound for different schedules, capable of producing multiple sounds, and operate even during a power interruption.

Experimental development method was utilized to construct the system followed by a descriptive method to evaluate the functionality of the design. Ten purposively chosen evaluators from the field of computer engineering, electronics and communication engineering, administration and leadership were asked to participate in the study to examine the performance of the device.

Findings revealed that the device could replace the manual school timer. It could be set to sound out for different schedules, capable of producing different sounds, and operate even during power interruptions.
