With the aim of inspiring Centralian junior high school students to pursue a career in Engineering, the student organizations under the CPU College of Engineering conducted seminar lectures and workshops at the CPU SHS Building on March 28, 2017.
Student-lecturers from the CPU College of Engineering mentors CPU Senior High students during the workshop.
Members of the CPU Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers, Philippine Society of Software Engineers, Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers of the Philippines, and Institute of Electronics and Communications Engineers of the Philippines lectured about the importance of engineering in developing and strengthening the community. They also taught basic software programming and mentored the students during the coding workshop.
CPU Senior High School students learned about the basics of software programming and its importance to globalization.
According to Engr. Gelvie Lagos, the goal of the activity is not only to promote the courses offered by the CPU College of Engineering but also to see potential talents who can represent the university in engineering and robotic summits. “We want to sell and promote the College of Engineering. Our workshops will help high school students develop an interest in taking up engineering in the future and we also want to see talents who could represent the university in robotics, technological fairs and other contests.”
Bernard Ceasar P. Susbilla, a 4th year Electronics and Communication Engineering student who was part of the organizing committee shared that the students were very participative during the lecture. “It’s very fulfilling to be part of this event. It’s a nice experience to be the one teaching the lessons you learned inside the classroom.”
On the other hand, Carl Daeben G. Dumala-og, a STEM 3 Senior High student said that he enjoyed the lecture workshop. “I discovered new things and ideas about electronics. I enjoyed the workshop part. In the future, taking up engineering is part of my plan.”
