Os-osa, Education Supervisor Il and CHED-CAR Representative; and Ms. Ivy D. Gayon, PRC – CAR Representative.
The program started with the acknowledgment of the delegates, the welcome remarks from Engr. Binwag, then an introduction to the faculty of the Department of Electronics Engineering. This was followed by a discussion, held at the SLU Incubator for Research, Innovation and Business (SIRIB) Center, between the PRC-PRBECE and the ECE Department about curriculum changes, encouragement of more enrollees, and programs and research integrating with other fields.
Facilities of the Electronics Engineering Department were thereafter inspected through a tour at the Otto Hahn Building, SLU Main Campus. The session ended with suggestions from Engr. Os-osa regarding improvements of the ECE curriculum.
Right after the inspection and monitoring visit, the PRC-PRBECE delegation endorsed ECE’s Certificate of Compliance.
