Abstract: The purpose of this research is for engineering students and faculty members, especially electronics, electrical, and mechanical engineering to have an instrumentation and control laboratory trainer that can measure flow rate, water level, temperature, and pressure, and control the latter three parameters. Mixed method was used in this study since this research is both qualitative and quantitative. The results show that the trainer prototype is properly functional as evaluated by engineering students and faculty members. The validation data shows that it has an overall grand mean of 4.72 for its functionality. Hence, it can be concluded that the prototype can properly function as intended and is a reliable trainer for engineering students to learn applications of instrumentation and control. It is recommended that future researchers need to improve the design and add more functions for the prototype such as devices that can provide a more accurate and faster control and materials that can withstand more extreme conditions.
