The main focus of this study entitled, "A Motorized and Mechanically Operated Portable Sieve Shaker Machine; A technical Feasibility Study," was to design, construct, test and demonstrate the functionality, and revise the parts as a result of testinge The development of this machine would contribute to better teaching of civil technology, as 4% would help solve the foremost problem met by most if not all vocational schools regarding the lack of instructional machine and equipment in workshop.

This technical feasibility study was limited +to the design and construction of a machine utilizing locally available materials. Likewise, it was also limited to testing its functionality and efficiency. To do this the machine was subjected to testing of cement and aggregate Samples, Finally, the result of testing led to the revision of some parts for the improvement of the machine Performance.

The machine was conceived through readings and actual field experiences of the researcher. Design was prepared, cost estimates were done for supplies and materials, tools and equipment needed were secured, and working drawings and details of different parts and assemblies were drawn before the construction procedures. Based on this, the Machine was constructed and tried out for possible improvement and reivision. Final tryout was done after correcting the defects.

The findings of this study show that it is technically feasible for any shop instructor to design and construct the machine in order to enhance the teaching and learning process and that the machine is functional and efficient in testing samples of construction materials like cement, soil, and aggregates. Likewise it can be mass—produced because the mechanism is simple and materials are locally available. I+ is economical as its production cost which include the supplies and materials, labor, overhead, and operating cost amounted to five thousand seventy one pesos and forty-five centavos (P5,071.45).«
