PH engineering students win big at WED Hackathon 2025 in Paris
BATANGAS CITY — Batangas State University (BatStateU), the Philippines’ National Engineering University, celebrates a momentous victory of its BS Chemical Engineering students at the World Engineering Day (WED) Hackathon 2025. Team ECO BEADa from BatStateU Alangilan, secured 2nd place in this prestigious global competition, hosted by UNESCO and the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) on March 4 in Paris, France. Led by mentor Assoc. Prof. Rhonalyn V. Maulion, the team members Trixie Mae V. Parañaque, Abraham F. Quintia Jr., Krishna Laida L. Sadsad, and Charisse May V. Castillo, bested over 3,000 participants from more than 90 countries, earning global recognition for their groundbreaking solution to address pressing environmental and agricultural challenges in the Philippines. The ECO BEADa project, supported by BatStateU’s Center for Innovation in Engineering Education (CIEE), focuses on the growing crisis faced by Filipino farmers due to water contamination from untreated wastewater. The team introduced an innovative solution using phosphate-absorbing beads made from eelgrass biochar and kaolinite clay — natural, abundant materials that purify wastewater and convert harmful phosphates into eco-friendly fertilizers. This solution aims to revitalize the soil, improve agricultural sustainability, and protect the environment, empowering farmers to combat water contamination, soil depletion, and the broader impacts of climate change. The project not only addresses the immediate agricultural challenges but also promotes long-term sustainability. The team’s solution is designed to be cost-effective and scalable, offering an affordable, community-driven approach to improving water quality and soil fertility in farming communities. With a total treatment cost of just ₱750 per 25 kg of biochar fertilizer, the project provides a sustainable, low-cost alternative to synthetic fertilizers, typically costing up to ₱1,730. “Our success at the WED Hackathon 2025 is a proud moment for BatStateU and for the Philippines,” said University President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo. “Team ECO BEADa has shown that through ingenuity and tenacity of Filipino engineers, we can help solve real-world problems and bring lasting positive change to communities, not just in the country but also across the globe,” he added. The project’s approach also aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land). By addressing phosphate runoff and wastewater contamination, the project contributes to cleaner ecosystems, more sustainable agricultural practices, and a stronger, more resilient environment for farming communities. Additionally, the team has incorporated farmer education programs, including community-based water treatment systems, to ensure long-term success and empower local communities. Themed “Shaping Our Sustainable Future Through Engineering,” the WED Hackathon 2025 attracted brilliant minds from around the world, with participants presenting innovative solutions to some of humanity’s most pressing issues. Team ECO BEADa stood out not only for their technical excellence but also for their commitment to sustainability and community empowerment. In recognition of their outstanding achievement, the team was awarded a €2,000 prize for their impactful contribution to advancing sustainable solutions for a better world. Claiming the top spot, ManufacturingBox from the University of Twente, Netherlands, won first place, while Team Torpedo from the University of Hertfordshire/PSB Academy took third. Furthermore, the People’s Choice Award went to AgriConnect, a collaboration between Ghana and France. For more information about the World Engineering Day Hackathon, please visit this link.

BatStateU and PTC forge partnership for the future of engineering education in the Philippines
Batangas State University, The National Engineering University (BatStateU The NEU), solidified its commitment to advancing engineering education in the country through a strategic partnership with the Philippine Technological Council (PTC). On February 4, 2025, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed at Narra Hall, Jose Rizal Building, BatStateU Pablo Borbon Campus, marking a significant milestone in the implementation of the country’s National Engineering Education Development (NEED) Program. This collaboration unfolded during the ongoing Outcome-Based Engineering Education (OBEE) National Training Series for Engineering Deans and Program Chairs Part Two, which convened 65 engineering deans and program chairs from across the country. The initiative aims to drive transformative change in engineering education by equipping academic leaders with the necessary skills and knowledge to implement OBEE within their respective institutions. As the Philippines continues to align with global engineering education standards as a full signatory of the Washington Accord, BatStateU and PTC are at the forefront of ensuring the quality and competitiveness of Filipino engineers. The NEED Program is structured into six components, which include profiling engineering education in the country, outcome-based engineering education, curriculum development, faculty training, accreditation readiness, and strengthening collaborative research in engineering. Spearheaded under the Center for Innovation in Engineering Education – CIEE, the program was officially launched by BatStateU in May 2024 during the 2nd International Conference on Innovations in Engineering Education (ICIEE). Under the signed MOA, PTC will be a key partner in implementing the NEED Program, providing expertise guidance, accreditation frameworks, and industry linkages to ensure global competitiveness. BatStateU President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo, ASEAN Eng., in his welcome remarks, emphasized the university’s responsibility as the country’s National Engineering University in shaping the future of engineering education. “Through this collaboration with PTC, we are shaping a new generation of engineers who will lead innovations, address global challenges, and drive national development,” Dr. Ronquillo said. During his message of commitment, PTC President Engr. Federico A. Monsada, MEng, ASEAN Eng., Hon. FAFEO, emphasized the council’s dedication to ensuring the highest standards in engineering education. “The objectives of the NEED Program are aligned with what PTC would like to see with the engineering community in the Philippines—we would like to see graduates leveling up to international standards and exemplars which are being spoused by the international engineering alliance,” he stated. With BatStateU and PTC leading the charge, the Philippines moves closer to producing world-class engineers who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and competencies to lead national development and advance the engineering profession globally. Established in 1978, the PTC is the umbrella organization of 13 professional engineering organizations in the country, each representing a specific field of engineering practice. As the official accrediting body for engineering education and professional practice, PTC is dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, promoting global competitiveness, and advancing engineering expertise to drive socio-economic development.
