THE SEARCH IS ON …

In 2010, the College of Engineering of the University of the Philippines will be celebrating its centennial year.

The College first opened its doors to prospective engineers in 1910 when the College was then located in Padre Faura, Manila.  Now, almost 100 years later, the College boasts of the Melchor Hall in the Diliman campus dedicated to the molding of engineers through high quality education and teaching professionals.

To date, the College has produced 16,350 graduates, many of which are touted to be the best and brightest engineers in the country.  Many too have established strong roots and are highly esteemed in foreign shores.  To pay tribute to these great minds, the UP Alumni Engineers (UPAE) conceived the search for the “100 Outstanding Alumni Engineers of the University of the Philippines,” for the contemporary and posthumous achievers of the College of Engineering.

So far, forty-one (41) alumni have been proclaimed.  They are virtually who’s who in the academe, the government, and the construction, banking, manufacturing industries. They include :

What are not so common are spades digging the ground on which to plant tree seedlings; and Civil Engineers—I imagine them in hardhats—doing this good deed.

This is what the University of the Philippines ACES Alumni Association did this November (sans the hardhats).

They’ve turned “green”; and that is all good for the earth, for us.
