Topic: Developing Location Tracker App for Mechanical Engineering Students in Batangas
State University - Alangilan Campus

Objectives
● To provide safety for students who enter and exit the school premises by tracking
their location. .
● To give assurance to the school administration, professors, faculty staff, and
employees inside the school.
● To guarantee the student’s guardians, relatives, and loved ones about their safety
knowing that kidnapping is prominent nowadays.

Introduction
More kidnapping cases were enlightened in 2022, and it became extremely alarming with
the fact that face-to-face classes had just begun. The threat among college students has increased
rapidly, which has caused authorities to take action and people to panic. According to reports,
acquaintances are more likely to kidnap women than men. Notably, it also shows that teenagers
are the most common victims of non-family abductions. A person is kidnapped when they are
taken by force, threat, or deception with the intention of keeping them captive against their will.
It might be carried out for political, ransom, or other reasons. Meanwhile, abduction is when a
criminal takes someone away using open force, fraud, coercion, or persuasion. Both pose the
greatest threat to teenagers, particularly students.
That being said, this survey questionnaire aims to study whether the launch of the app is
feasible or not. The questions will provide the researchers with data that is needed in developing
the app or if it clearly solves the problem of the increasing threat of kidnapping cases. The app is
simply made to provide security and safety for the students by tracking their location. Every
student is expected to log in and a code will be sent to them. The code should only be given to
the people they trust or the people that are responsible for them. The feature has two options: one
is for the student device, and they should log in using their respective ID number; the second is
for their teachers, parents, guardians, and friends, to whom they will send the code. Notably, this
location tracker app is still in the development phase; therefore, data gathered is essential to its
full development and innovation.

Discussion of Target Population and Sample

Students’ security and safety are the main focus of this study. Therefore, the target
population that will be used for the study will be the fifty (50) Mechanical Engineering students
of Batangas State University-Alangilan Campus. The sampling method that will be used is
simple random sampling as it is the most convenient for this experiment. Furthermore, an online
survey would be very ideal for the experiment where students can easily and quickly access the
questionnaire through Google Forms.
