Feasibility study for the Offering of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME), Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE), Bachelor of Science in Food Technology (BSFT), Bachelor of Industrial Technology (BIT) Major in Food Packaging & Bachelor of Science in Fisheries (BSF) Programs in Guimaras State College

Abstract

This study was conducted to look into the feasibility of offering the BS Mechanical Engineering, BS Electrical Engineering, BS Food Technology, BIT major in Food Packaging and BS Fisheries courses at Guimaras State College. The aspect of offering the course was evaluated and the financial capability of the project was analyzed so that minimum problems will be encountered. The researchers have identified competitors in offering the BS Mechanical Engineering, BS Electrical Engineering, BS Fisheries, BS Food Technology and BIT major in Food Packaging. The target market is the secondary schools’ graduates in the province of Guimaras. The researchers conducted a survey with the use of a researcher-made questionnaire to 305 students. Purposive sampling was done to get the sample of the total secondary graduates of 2015. It was revealed in the study that the benefit cost ratio showed a positive result; this meant that the offering of BS Mechanical Engineering, BS Electrical Engineering, BS Fisheries, BS Food Technology and BIT major in Food Packaging was viable and feasible up to 20% share of enrollment. It was also recommended to offer these courses at Guimaras State College.
