Abstract: With globalization, it is necessary for the Philippines to unrelentingly pursue and produce knowledge-intensive goods and services as the key to economic development and poverty reduction. Basic to the realization of this potential is knowledge, which can be gained through a well-educated, technically-skilled manpower. This paper sums up the research process of the University of Eastern Philippines (UEP) which has the potency to contribute well to economic progress. In particular, it attempts to i) provide a perspective on how research is done in the state universities and colleges (SUCs) with particular focus on the university as it relates to SUC leveling, normative funding, and performance-based bonus, ii) discuss the research processes, and iii) identify the elements of research dissemination and utilization.

Abstract: Measurement of output power from an engine is an important step in analysis of engine performance. Currently, dynamometers are used to measure the brake power of engines at varied loads. However, these devices are often expensive and sophisticated. Therefore there is a need to develop an extremely cost effective device for brake power measurement. In this work, a chassis dynamometer is designed and fabricated for testinga two wheeler vehicle. The drive axle weight is up to 800 kg. The dynamometer is primarily made out of mild steel and uses worn out car tires to function as rollers. The device is found to be extremely cost effective and reliable as compared to the existing dynamometers.
