The Technological University of the Philippines–Taguig Campus (TUP-Taguig) successfully concluded on October 3, 2025, marking another milestone in advancing industry-aligned training for future engineers.
The initiative aimed to strengthen the competencies of fourth-year students from the College of Engineering and Industrial Technology, particularly those enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering programs. Through intensive lectures and practical sessions, participants gained both theoretical grounding and hands-on experience in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), a crucial foundation for the Mechatronics NC III certification.
Leading the training sessions was Engr. Hohn Lois C. Bongao, Section Head of Instrumentation and Control Technology and Mechatronics Servicing at TUP-Taguig, who served as the keynote speaker. He was joined by a team of expert resource persons, including Engr. Raymund M. Lozada, Professional Electronics Engineer and Head of the Electrical and Allied Department; Engr. Ruem C. Arribas, Licensed Mechanical Engineer and Instructor I of the Mechanical Department; and Mr. Estephen Ace D. Umali, Licensed Professional Teacher and Instructor I under the same department.
The collaborative program exemplified the shared commitment of GSU and TUP-Taguig to deliver innovative, skill-based education that bridges classroom learning with real-world applications. Participants expressed appreciation for the immersive training, which enhanced their technical proficiency and boosted their confidence in pursuing professional certifications and future careers in automation and mechatronics.
By combining academic expertise and industry-driven instruction, the partnership reaffirmed both universities’ dedication to producing globally competitive, industry-ready graduates equipped to meet the evolving demands of engineering and technology sectors.
