Abstract: The study entitled “ Development of an Electric Roll Up Door in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Technology” was conducted  to develop an electric roll up door for the department from February 2016 up to March 2017.Specifically, it aimed to design an electric roll-up door that can easily move up and down and can be controlled automatically and manually; construct an electric roll-up door using a remote control and push button; test and evaluate the functionality of the electric roll-up door; and to conduct a cost analysis for an electric roll-up door. The  electric roll-up door with a dimension of 178 cm by 350 cm featured two functions; electrical driven and manually operated. Switch, remote control and chain block is used to control the operation to “up” and “down” the rolling door. In case of black out or change power of electricity supply, this design project can be operated manually using metal chain. The door had also a provision of manipulating the roll-up door with the use of remote control; the device was designed to operate within a range of 50 meters. The researchers had evaluated the design project specifically with 30 participants including students and faculty members in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Technology with a result of  an overall average mean of 4.86 (Outstanding). Based from the results of an evaluation the designed project was found beneficial to the participants including the user, students and the instructors. The design project had a total cost of P34,645.00.
