Abstract
This study aimed at designing and assembling an improvised Logic Gates Simulator that can be utilized as an instructional device in basic digital electronics instruction at Caraga State University Cabadbaran Campus, Philippines. This instructional device is believed to enhance the teaching-learning process and would also help address the scarcity of instructional equipment in the school and in the country. Descriptive method of research was employed to come up with the design of the simulator based on the course content of basic digital electronics subject. Acceptability of the improvised simulator based on standards set in this study was gathered from the experts as respondents using a self-made questionnaire. The data were treated using average weighted mean utilizing parametric scales with verbal descriptions. Findings revealed that the improvised logic gates simulator is highly acceptable in terms of its cost and availability of components, design and construction,operations, and troubleshooting features. It is concluded that the improvised logic gates simulator is at par in terms of standards on instructional devices based on the evaluation results of experts and is therefore recommended to be used in basic digital electronics instruction. The simulator is an innovative answer and an alternate solution to the scarcity of instructional materials and devices at Caraga State University Cabadbaran Campus.

Summary
Philippines is rich in natural resources yet its provinces are considered among the poorest in the country. 2010-2020 envisions for a “peaceful and socially inclusive Mindanao having a strong, sustainable, competitive, ICT-driven, agri-industrial and resource-based economy that is responsive to the local and global opportunities” [1]. To realize this vision, Mindanao must have a strong human capital who will help harness its natural resources and provide support for the development its economic frontier in agri-industry, tourism and mineral industry. Caraga State University which is situated in Mindanao would like to answer the call of capacitating the human capital to meet the demands of the present times
