durability/) When most people hear the word “durability” in relation to wood,
they immediately think of its ability to withstand dents and scrapes. However,
The contention of the above literature is that the word durability when it is
ability to withstand or resist elemental and natural forces of decay; blatantly the
do is to give more life to the wood in order to be more useful. In this research
the wood is used as a material for the creation of the electrical wiring board
because of its durability and the ability to withstand some circumstances which
may affect its durability, and also wood is a bad conductor and in case of faulty
According to (https://www.thinkwood.com/performance/durability)
The above literature is also related to the present research because wood
being the primary material in the construction of modified electrical wiring board,
aside from being cheap material, is durable and its cost of repairs and
has a surprisingly wide reaching set of implications. This includes not just the
The above literature is in line with the present study, as stated above “No
matter the product in question, durability is always a key concern”. this research
is very eager of making the product or the electrical wiring board to be more
durable because as a state institution, there are limited funds which are being
appropriated for the schools’ instructional materials, and one way of making

Table 3 shows the tools and equipment to be use in modifying the electrical
wiring board. The recycled white board will be measured with the use of push/pull rule
and marker was used in order to acquire its required measurement. The recycled white
board will be cleaned and will be bombarded by uniform size of holes to be used for
convenient installation of fixtures. Electrical Hand drill will be used to bore equal size
holes on the whiteboard. Grinder will be used to grind the rough edges of recycled white
board. Philip screw will be used to tighten the screws of the hinges. Airbrush will be
used to paint the base of the wiring board and cover as finishing touches.
Tools Functions
Push/pull rule Used to measure the length and width of the plain
sheet, glass, steel matting and angle bars
Electric drill Used to bore holes for the screw of the electrical
equipment
Sand Paper Use for Smoothing rough edges.
Phillip screw driver Use to loosen or tighten the screw.
Construction Procedures
The following are the steps in constructing the Modified Electrical Wiring
Board.
1. Collect all tools and materials needed for the construction of Modified Electrical
Wiring Board.
2. Layout the holes to be bored using a marker needed for the project.
3. Start drilling the marked holes with equal distance to each other.
8. Apply the sanding sealer in enhancing the finishing touches of the wiring board.
As shown in Table 4 the Modified Electrical Wiring Board have some try-outs
and revisions regarding the construction of this project such as in the trial one 1); The
holes board are not congruent to each other; in trial two (2), the joint of the wiring board
was hard to flip and apply grease or oil to make it smooth; in trial three (3), during the
try-outs and revisions the wiring board is hard to flip because of its hinges where not
smooth, so the researcher applied grease to make it smooth and allows the researcher
to move it freely.
Wiring Board. Planning and designing the Wiring Board took one day; purchasing and
preparing the materials needed took two days; five days was consume in creating the
Modified Electrical Wiring Board, four days in testing and revising; and two days in
finishing touches of the wiring board. The total days consumed in constructing the

Data Analysis
Based on the analysis above, it reveals that the Modified Electrical Wiring
Board in terms of design is fully accepted by the respondents. The design of the project
is useful for electrical wiring and will be of great help to the Electrical Technology
Department. The low Standard Deviation result implies that the answers of the
respondent are very close to the computed weighted mean of the subject.

of Modified Electrical Wiring Board. Row no. 2 under the design has an average
weighted mean of 4.66 and has an SD of 1.77. Row 3 for Durability has an average
weighted mean of 4.55 with an SD of 2.15. The row for Functionality with an average
4.72 weighted mean and has 2.54 SD reveals that the project is high accepted. The last
row shows the composite average of the three (3) criterion which has an average mean
The low value of SD indicates that the respondents answer has a minimal
variance that implies almost the same perception towards the criterion of the project
