PRESIDENTIAL AWARDEE
Are UP students globally competitive when it comes to the real world circumstances?
The CE discipline prepared me to be confidently analytical and logical in addressing real world challenges. In pursuing my graduate studies at US prestigious and highly competitive universities, I was able to get my Master in Business Administration from Syracuse University in New York and Master in Public Administration from Harvard University. Both degrees required analytical problem solving, management tools and people skills that I learned as a UPCOE student and leader.
Being able to establish one of the icons in UP Diliman, what can you advise to those people who wish to build a great one like the Sundial?
Icons can come from any of civil engineering sub-disciplines such as construction, energy, environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, urban and rural development, water resources and hydrology. The icon will depend on your preferred symbolism, value and message that resonate in the icon. Infrastructures such as bridges, dams, windmills, buildings, etc. can be icons for civil engineers. I like suspension bridges such as San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge – symbolizing ingenuity, connectivity and stability.
