Abstract
The assessment of students' academic performance based on ongoing records plays a vital role in enabling timely interventions for successful graduation. Variances in degree program completion times emphasize the need to tailor subjects and courses to individual student requirements. However, limited research exists on student degree completion, presenting challenges related to diverse student backgrounds, information gaps in courses, and accommodating evolving progress in predictions. Educational institutions are adapting flexible curricula, necessitating a diverse range of courses and informed decision-making for academic planning. Structured course sequences in universities ensure a gradual buildup of knowledge and skills, aiding students in tackling more complex subjects progressively. A decision-based recommendation system for predicting graduation time was developed and evaluated using the ISO/IEC 25010 Software Quality Model. This model included parameters like functionality, performance, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, and portability. Each parameter was assessed to ensure the system's functionality, performance optimization, cross-platform compatibility, user-friendliness, reliability, security, ease of maintenance, and adaptability to different environments. Through this evaluation, the system's quality and efficacy were comprehensively validated, confirming its ability to achieve intended objectives and meet user requirements.

Abstract
The Philippines has unique and rich culture; thus, it is also part of its identity. A preliminary test the researchers conducted revealed that the consumers do not consider street food as part of the culture. The Hybrid 2D Animation Documentary tackles the role of street food and street food vendors in the cultural aspect. The evaluation process used in the study is a comparative analysis of the set of pre-assessment and post-assessment evaluations from 30 respondents. The result showed that there had been an increase in value in recognition and acknowledgment of street food after consuming the material. The researchers recommended that street food vendors start acknowledging their cultural role, that multimedia art students create more content featuring the cultural role of street foods, that the teachers introduce the representation of street foods, and that future researchers explore the sanitation issues of street foods.

Abstract
Among computer programmers and developers, the user-oriented question-and-answer website of Stack Overflow is a useful platform for sourcing solutions to programming problems, exchanging insights, and accessing a wealth of shared knowledge. However, the timeliness of responses on this platform is frequently a limiting factor that ChatGPT could potentially address. The goal of this study was to explore the preferences of novice programmers between these platforms for finding answers to their programming questions. Anchored in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Information Foraging Theory (IFT), the study investigates users' perceptions of usefulness, ease of use, information scent, cognitive effort, as well as overall preferences. Our findings show discernible variations in preferences within the group of students (i.e., application and website developers). In line with these results, we discussed theoretical and practical implications and suggested a dual-pronged approach to leverage both environments as coding assistants in computer programming education.

Abstract
To help the future of the industry, the researchers developed a mix design of concrete with varying water-cement ratios from 0.50%, 0.55%, 0.60%, and 0.65% to be used as recycled concrete aggregates. These varying mix designs will determine the effects of the porosity of the RCA on a new concrete mix. Initially the compressive strength test results of the RCA display that as the Water-cement ratio increases the Compressive Strength decreases which can clearly see that Samples with 0.65% W/C ratio display an average compressive strength of 27.29 MPa which does not achieve the C30 standards. Using the Rapid Chloride Penetration Test the amount of electrical charge flows to the sample was computed, based on the results obtained from the rapid chloride penetration test, it can be concluded that the porosity of the recycled concrete aggregates has a significant impact on the new porosity of concrete when a mixture of both recycled aggregates and natural aggregates are used. The researchers found out that from a controlled sample which is a normal concrete, the value of its ion penetration gives an average of 3431.33 Coulombs. On the other hand, RCA 1 achieved an average of 5466 Coulombs, RCA 2 passed an average charge of 5681.33 Coulombs, and RCA 3 obtained an average charge of 6528.67 Coulombs, these indicate that the higher the water-cement ratio on the recycled aggregates used will contribute to the percentage of the void of the concrete that will give the ion a passageway to penetrate the concrete and obtain a higher value of charge.

Abstract
Coding regardless programming languages is an expected skill evaluated in computing courses [1]. The majority of programming research has been on student challenges and mistakes that compromise technical accuracy [2]. Prior study has shown that debugging approaches are utilized to create response in learning coding [3]. The goal of this paper is to build a web-based intelligent tutoring system (ITS) application for freshmen learning C language that predicts tinkering activity using constraint-based modeling (CBM) and machine learning algorithm. The system was created for capturing C code samples focused on assignment statements, which would then be sent to the tutor model for submitted code assessment and response generation using CBM. This paper expanded the first system prototype of Arguson et al. [4] which was pilot tested on 2 synchronous coding classes among 31 freshman tertiary students composed of 9 BS Computer Science and 22 BS Information Technology respondents. The dataset was taken from the aforementioned first prototype, whilst the student model was built using the data science approach for building the student model. Arguson et al. [5]’s study was used to construct a modified CBM that centers on assignment statements. The model statistically predicted tinkering on both numerical value problems and incorrect expressions performed by beginner programmers, according to the results. In the development of the final ITS prototype, a novel detection of tinkering activity in the context of C coding focused on assignment statements was deployed. Adhering to Scrum framework, the authors were able to supervise the software project in this study. It emerged that tinkering activity can be predicted using compiled inexperienced C programming logs as well as tailored-fit feedback is required to comprehend the aforementioned programming language.

Abstract
As the Philippines advances industrially, the nation's demand for electricity is soaring. In response to this challenge, the proponent seeks to devise an Internet-of-Things (IoT) solution that addresses the imbalance between electricity supply and demand through a cost-effective yet highly accurate energy management system for commercial and industrial sectors. The idea is to curtail energy consumption by enabling building managers to remotely control shared area resources, thereby resulting in a corresponding decrease in energy expenses. The designed prototype will also encompass a feature for power interruptions both blackout and brownout detection and notification, which will allow building supervisors to implement electrical outage procedures during necessary circumstances. When power is restored, the system will initiate a “rolling” procedure to prevent sudden load spikes on the power grid by first restoring power to areas known for lower current draw. This approach differs from the typical scenario where, after a blackout, all devices power on at once when service is restored, escalating the risk of another brownout or potentially even an electrical fire due to an overloaded grid. In the event of a power outage, the system will rely on an alternate power supply to maintain its operation. The envisioned product is designed to be portable and transferable, meaning it can be conveniently installed in any commercial building and relocated as required. Moreover, the design contemplates a scenario where several such prototypes can be placed within a single building and individually controlled remotely via web application.

Abstract
Human curiosity and the pursuit of areas of interest are fundamental drivers of exploration and skill development. One avenue for understanding vocational interests is the Reading-Free Vocational Interest Inventory Third Edition (RFVII-3), particularly relevant for individuals, including those with mental disabilities. The RFVII-3 assesses vocational interests and aligns individuals with specific vocational clusters. However, its traditional face-to-face, one-on-one administration, and manual scoring present significant challenges, consuming approximately 1.5 hours. This paper presents a novel approach to streamline the RFVII-3 assessment process by developing a digital prototype. This device captures and scores RFVII-3 item images selected by examinees, instantly aligning them with relevant vocational clusters. The result is generated in less than five seconds after completing the last item, effectively expediting vocational interest assessment. This innovative technology promises to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of vocational interest assessment, particularly benefiting individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract
Riverbank collapse was recorded in the Philippines especially during typhoons and heavy rains. To analyze the possibility of failure, Slope/W under the Geostudio package was used as a finite element modeling technique in the study. The simulation determined the effect of the factor of safety (FOS) from the six (6) different assumed slopes and 15 different soil properties. The assumption of the present paper is that the properties of the soil and slope of the riverbank can determine the stability status of the sloping riverbank. There was a total of 90 simulations that were analyzed using the Morgenstern-Price method. The simulation results concluded that the highest and safe values of the factor of safety were recorded in simulations 1, 5 and 12 which are all more than 1.50. The simulations with a lower value of cohesion resulted in a lower value of the factor of safety. The correlation assessment result revealed that the slope instability or failure of slopes of riverbanks can be attributed to the cohesion values and the angle of internal friction (ϕ). It is recommended using a flatter slope and high values of cohesion which can be attained by riverbank improvement. If lower values of cohesion were detected, additional measures like bank stability should be proposed. The measures to be implemented should improve the FOS value which would improve the stability of slopes, thus preventing the vulnerability to riverbank collapse.
