Webinar in Quality Assurance in Research with FEU Institute of Technology
A webinar entitled as “Quality Assurance in Research” was conducted last March 18, 2022 and Dr. Romano O. Neyra, Professor and Senior Director for Engineering of FEU-Tech was the resource speaker. He divided his discussion into four and the most important was the first part which was about the definition of quality assurance in research. The second part was about the procedures of Quality Assurance in research and Dr. Neyra said that the participants can get an idea from the webinar especially to those who were in institutions like schools or companies conducting research. The third topic was about the important things to consider in data collection and analysis and the last part was about the benefits of Quality Assurance Research (QAR). Dr. Neyra started the discussion by defining quality assurance and research. He reiterated the difference between the two terms but he stressed out that they were interrelated to each other. Dr. Neyra also discussed the six research processes which were popular to all even if the researchers were conducting an applied or basic research.

BatStateU The NEU launches the Philippines’ NEED program to redefine the future of engineering education
BATANGAS CITY – On May 8, Batangas State University, The National Engineering University (BatStateU The NEU) launched the Philippines’ National Engineering Education Development (NEED) Program, marking a transformative step forward in the advancement of engineering education in the Philippines. Positioned to significantly contribute to the development of highly skilled engineers and professionals who will drive the nation’s progress and prosperity, the NEED Program was officially introduced at the International Conference on Innovations in Engineering Education (ICIEE) 2024. Propelled by the Center for Innovation in Engineering Education (CIEE), the NEED Program is designed to achieve several outcomes by 2027. These include providing an understanding of the landscape of Philippine Engineering Education, advancing towards a truly Outcomes-Based Engineering Education, supporting the elevation of national accreditation standards, redefining the curricula that meets industry demands, and building sustainable local and global academe-industry networks. Correlated with this, the NEED program aims to comprehensively enhance engineering education in the Philippines by focusing on six essential components. Initially, it profiles the landscape of engineering education, assessing and refining elements such as curriculum, delivery systems, infrastructure, employability, and industry linkages. It also strengthens outcomes-based engineering education nationwide, offering extensive training for deans and chairs on outcomes-based teaching, learning, and assessment (OB-TLA), curriculum mapping, integration strategies, the CDIO Framework, and engineering education for sustainable development (EESD). Further, it accelerates engineering program accreditation, enhancing participation and compliance among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with improved local accreditation standards, mentoring deans and chairs in ABET criteria through the Professional Regulation Commission (PTC), and organizing the National Conference on Quality Assurance in Engineering Education. Moreover, it also re-engineers the curriculum by developing industry-aligned courses through collaborative efforts involving government, universities, and industry. Another critical aim is to boost faculty excellence, enhancing their expertise to elevate Philippine HEIs as global centers of engineering education and research excellence. Lastly, the program enhances engineering research collaboration, increasing research visibility, fostering global engagement, and enhancing scholarly impact. Set under the theme “Innovating Engineering Education for Sustainable Futures: Leadership, Sustainability, and Global Synergy,” the ICIEE 2024 was poised to transform engineering education. This event featured innovative hybrid and experiential learning sessions that expanded the boundaries of educational strategies and integrated emerging technologies. Discussions delved into the latest trends and methodologies, making ICIEE 2024 an essential platform for advancing engineering education to adeptly respond to contemporary global challenges. “Let this conference serve not only as a platform for discussion but as a catalyst for substantial and sustainable change in the way we educate our future engineers. Together, let us enhance our curricula, strengthen our teaching methodologies, and forge partnerships that extend beyond our local frameworks to achieve a global impact”, remarked University President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo in his welcome message, emphasizing the importance of collective action to elevate the engineering education in the Philippines. Characterized by insightful discussions and expert perspectives, the conference unfolded with a compelling keynote from Em. Prof. Elizabeth Taylor, the Chair of Governing Group and Deputy Chair of Sydney Accord.
