(UPEEEAAI) on the occasion of your 12th Annual Alumni Homecoming. The theme of this year’s homecoming, “EEE ‘Eyes’ ASEAN 2015,” is very relevant as the academe is in the midst of preparations for the eventual ASEAN 2015 integration. Currently, the UPEEEI has the most number of students in the College and produces a significant number of outstanding alumni. I believe that this institute, with the support of its alumni, will be able to contribute towards the pursuit of excellence and innovation that will benefit the country. Let me take this opportunity to thank you, UPEEEI alumni, for your untiring support. Specifically, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the assistance you have extended to our students whose families were affected by supertyphoon Yolanda. Your generous assistance is truly appreciated. Finally, I wish UPEEEAAI, more years of committed service to your alma mater and to the country, and may you continue to carry out worthwhile endeavors. More power! AURA C. MATIAS Dean, College of Engineering http://upeeeaai.org | EEE EYES ASEAN 2015 5 MESSAGES A warm welcome to all our alumni, faculty, students and friends on the occasion of the 2014 Homecoming of the UP Electrical and Electronics Engineers Alumni Association Inc. (UPEEEAAI). This year’s theme, “EEE Eyes ASEAN 2015”, is in recognition of the truly global nature of our profession. While economic integration and the lifting of barriers presents many challenges to our work and study in engineering, these also present opportunities to expand our horizon and to further extend our reach. Together with the University administration, we are gearing up our curriculum, our faculty, staff and students to meet the test of internationalization head-on and towards a more responsive and relevant engineering education that redound to the country’s global competitiveness. Through the fellowship and collaboration between the University and the alumni, we will be able to welcome these challenges as opportunities for further growth and development. I also wish to use this occasion to welcome all of you to the new building of the UP Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute (UP-EEEI). We are proud to highlight the new facilities for instruction, research and extension and we invite all of you to take a tour, talk to the students and faculty and learn more about our current and future activities. Finally, I would like to thank the UPEEEAAI for putting in the hard work in organizing our Alumni Homecoming year in and year out. Through the unwavering support of alumni, we are able to continue offering the best learning environment for our students and we are able to train and retain the best faculty members. Envision. Explore. Excel. Innovate – this is your EEE Institute. Mabuhay po kayo lahat! JOEL S. MARCIANO Director, UP EEEI 6 EEE EYES ASEAN 2015 | http://upeeeaai.org MESSAGES On behalf of the 2013-2014 UPEEE Alumni Association Inc. board of trustees, it is my privilege to welcome you to our 12th UPEEE Alumni Homecoming. We are gathered tonight to rekindle memories of days spent in a prestigious institution and reflect on its significant role in molding our respective careers. This event is an opportunity to honor our jubilarian classes of 1954 (diamond), 1964 (gold) and 1989 (silver), as well as to congratulate members of batch 2014 who are now eligible for inclusion into the rolls of the UPEEEAAI. These new graduates, members of EEEI student organizations and student council EEE representatives were invited to a homecoming experience that hopefully will inspire them this early to give back in their own respective capacities. “EEE Eyes ASEAN 2015” is this year’s theme to promote awareness of the upcoming reciprocity in professional practices among ASEAN member nations. With this in mind, your alumni association is all the more earnestly committed to fulfill its mandate of serving the interests of UPEEEI, including its students, faculty and alumni. This is a call for everyone to join hands and contribute in enhancing the academic resources of our institute. For the current school year 2013-2014, the UPEEEAAI Scholarship Program was started with the goal of financially supporting at least 1 EEE student thru his/her last 3 academic years. It will then have 2 scholars next school year and 3 for SY 2015-2016, all to be internally funded by the association. Unprecedented developments last year gave us the opportunity to instead assist 6 EEE students that were directly affected by the devastation of typhoon “Yolanda.” Cash donations of P120,000 from 3 generous alumni, who requested anonymity, beefed up this year’s scholarship fund and enabled us to underwrite the expenses of these 6 students for the whole 2nd semester. The scholarship program will revert back to its originally planned format next school year. The annual EEE alumni golf tournaments have been our main source of funds. This year’s event, UPEEEAAI Golf 2014, will be held on 22 May 2014 at the Valley Golf & Country Club. It aims to raise a sufficient amount for the continuity of the UPEEEAAI Scholarship Program and bankroll other future projects. Our website (upeeeaai.org) that was set up by last year’s board of trustees is being updated to increase traffic and reach out to alumni who we haven’t heard from for some time. Alumni, faculty and students are most welcome to make it a dynamic venue for the exchange of ideas and be a productive vehicle focused on the objectives of the UPEEEAAI. The association’s account with BDO was closed last year with the funds transferred to RCBC Savings Bank for a better yield. Part of the funds moved to RCBC Savings Bank was then used to open a VUL account with Sun LifeGrepa. This investment instrument is intended to be kept until such time that a substantial return has been realized, or when the association prudently decides on a better use for its funds. Our financial records are being reviewed with a report to be ready before the term of the current board of trustees ends. Enthusiasm, Energy and Entrepreneurship are the needed traits to keep the bloodlines of our association flowing. Enthusiasm, or dedication, to its mission will positively influence fellow alumni into selfless involvement in our worthwhile activities. Energy needs to be sustained to keep us focused on our goals. Thirdly, a touch of Entrepreneurship is essential for it to remain financially sound. These 3E’s will ensure we’re here for the long haul. Another year has again swiftly passed as we constantly strive to see the full potential of our association at work. It is only proper to acknowledge the 3E’s of our past boards of trustees, for we wouldn’t be here without them having built UPEEEAAI’s backbone. And finally, my endless thanks for the priceless commitment and support from our trustees, the UPEEEI faculty & staff and our benefactors for making our tasks a lot easier. GO triple E!!!

The ASEAN was to be a “Concert of Southeast Asian Nations, an Outward-Looking ASEAN, a Partnership in Dynamic Development, and a Community of Caring Societies.” The vision sought to create a stable, prosperous and highly competitive ASEAN Economic Region with free flow of goods, services and investments, a freer flow of capital, equitable economic development and reduced poverty and socio-economic disparities. It was further adopted by the ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology that the ASEAN would be “A technologically competitive ASEAN, competent in strategic and enabling technologies, with an adequate pool of technologically qualified and trained manpower, and strong networks for scientific and technological institutions and centres of excellence.” With this vision, the different sub-committees of the ASEAN went ahead to create and implement appropriate action plans. It caught many by surprise that during the 12th ASEAN Summit held in Cebu in 2007, the ministers agreed to accelerate the establishment of the ASEAN Community from 2020 to 2015. An ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint and its strategic schedule were adopted. An important goal of the blueprint is to establish the ASEAN as a single market and production base by 2015 through the free flow of goods, free flow of services, free flow of investment, freer flow of capital and the free flow of skilled labour. It is now 2014. It is doubted there will be dramatic changes in our lives next year. It was an ambitious declaration made by the ASEAN leaders in Cebu. Looking at the AEC Blueprint, it is obvious there are large gaps between what has to happen and what prevails. For example, the free flow of goods will not be possible unless tariffs and non-tariff barriers among ASEAN countries have been eliminated. On the other hand, for the free movement of skilled labour, the barriers to foreign employment at each member state have to be addressed. In the case of the Philippines, there are constitutional restrictions to hiring foreign workers. The responsibility of meeting the milestones agreed upon by the ASEAN leaders have been left to the country bureaucrats who have been meeting and discussing. Yet very little is happening. Nevertheless, things will eventually happen and we all have to be prepared. This article would like to mention a few things that will impact our profession. First, because there will be talent mobility within the ASEAN, it will be easier for Filipino engineers to seek employment within the region. The Philippines is already a popular source of skilled labour and professionals to the world. We are in demand because of our English proficiency, our adaptability, and our service orientation. We seek jobs outside because of better compensation. While the Philippines probably will not lose a lot of skilled workers to countries like Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam, we are likely to experience an exodus of workers to Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand and maybe even Indonesia. This could strain local industries, especially SMEs that cannot afford to pay engineers as much as large corporations and multinationals. Many of us work for or even run SMEs. We would have to learn to cope with this. Yes, there will be talent available from the lower income economies of the ASEAN but will they satisfy our requirements? On the flip side, talent mobility will provide more opportunity for us engineers to seek better opportunities overseas. However, we will be benchmarked against the best in the region. It is therefore incumbent upon the educators and trainers among us to keep the engineers we produce current with the times. An effective way of doing this is through research and development programs. Yet our government’s spending on R&D as a percentage of GDP is only higher than that of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia and Laos. All other ASEAN states, including Myanmar and Vietnam, beat us in this statistic. Government must beef up R&D spending. But the private sector must also do its share by funding research. We all must do what we can to keep our University programs progressive so that students are exposed not only to current but also to emerging technologies. http://upeeeaai.org | EEE EYES ASEAN 2015 9 KEYNOTE ARTICLE Before you are able to practice your profession overseas, certification is normally required from the professional regulatory body of your destination. In the Philippines, it is the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) that plays this role. To facilitate the free flow of services, the ASEAN agreed for Mutual Recognition Agreements to be forged among member countries for the different professions. For engineers, the ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organizations (AFEO) was formed. AFEO brings together the national engineering organizations of the different ASEAN nations. The Philippines is represented by the Philippine Technological Council (PTC) which is the umbrella organization of the 12 professional engineering associations recognized by the PRC plus the Philippine Institute of Industrial Engineers, the only self-certifying professional engineering association in the Philippines. To facilitate engineering mobility, AFEO established the ASEAN Engineering Register (AER). If an engineer is listed in the AER, his competencies are automatically recognized within the region. In the Philippines, registration in the AER is done through the PTC. Philippine engineers are encouraged to seek listing in the AER. A listed engineer can rightfully append the title “ASEAN Engineer” to his name. There are many more areas which will impact us when ASEAN 2015 eventually comes to fruition. A thorough discussion is beyond this article’s intent. The overall message is, “Let’s be ready!” Otherwise, a few years from now, you might be asking a Malaysian company to do your electrical wiring using products manufactured in Vietnam, and eating processed food from Indonesia, while all our good engineers are working in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Accept that to retain good talent, you have to pay and that to stay competitive, you have to continue finding better ways of doing things. We have to innovate. At the same time, the government has to exert more effort in lowering the cost of doing business in the Philippines. Finally, our Universities have to stay abreast with the best in the region.

Our undergraduate programs are research-oriented and strongly emphasize the thorough and scholarly understanding of fundamental concepts. They were designed to fully develop engineering design and analytical skills, provide extensive practical experience, encourage creativity and resourcefulness, expose the students to new and emerging technologies, promote self-learning, sharpen the student's proficiency in communication, and instill a proper sense of values, a healthy philosophical outlook, and a strong set of ethical principles. Our graduate programs provide advanced training in several areas of specialization. They will provide the country with a pool of highly qualified electrical and electronics engineers who are able to carry out creative and challenging work in research, development, high-level design, technology management and university instruction, and who are capable of using existing and emerging technologies in solving today's problems. The facilities of the Institute consist of instruments, equipment, software and hardware for instruction and research in the different areas of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The EEE building currently houses all of the laboratories of the Institute. A second building is being constructed, which will accommodate additional lecture rooms. Several laboratories will also be transferred to the second building. People comprising the Institute – its faculty members, lecturers, administrative personnel and students – is our most important resource. The dynamic relationship of these people is the major contributor to the Institute's continued growth and academic excellence. 12 EEE EYES ASEAN 2015 | http://upeeeaai.org T H E H I STO RY O F U P E E E I curricula leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mining Engineering. Additional one year of study led to the degree of Master of Science in the respective fields. Announcements were made for opening these courses at the start of the academic year 1916-1917. Professor H .W. Reynolds was made head of the departments of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. The Board of Regents of the University, in a resolution passed on June 3, 1910, appointed Mr. W.J. Colbert as acting Dean of the College of Engineering. His appointment was set to effect on June 13, 1910 thereby creating the College of Engineering. The classes were held at a two-story building, the O'brien residence, at the corner of Isaac Peral (now United Nations Avenue) and Florida (now Maria Y. Orosa) streets in Ermita, Manila. The offices of the University were on the ground floor. Engineering and liberal arts classes alternated in using the rooms on the second floor. Mathematics and physics were taken under the College of Engineering. The classes in drawing were held at the Manila High School building along Calle Victoria in Intramuros. The O'brien house was formally turned over to the College in September, 1910, and became known as the "College of Engineering." On October 13, 1913, Mr. Herman W. Reynolds, from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of California, was appointed Associate Professor to give instruction in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to the Civil Engineering students. 1915-Dean Wrentmore recommended the institution of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering courses in keeping with the industrial development of the country; it would not appreciably increase the operating expenses of the college. January 10, 1916 - Board of Regents approved the Substantial appropriations were earmarked for laboratory equipment to augment the engines and motors that were installed in 1915. A one-story reinforced concrete building was constructed facing Calle Florida. It was designed similarly with the building that housed the chemistry laboratory along the same street. In this new building were the offices of the mechanical and electrical engineering departments. It also contained the laboratory facilities: a steam boiler, two steam engines, a gasoline engine, a crude oil engine, direct current and alternating current motors, generators, transformers and testing apparatuses. In 1918, Hermenegildo B. Reyes, a Cornell University graduate in electrical engineering, who was appointed Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Professor Herman W. Reynolds was appointed Dean beginning the academic year 1919-1920. In academic year 1921-1922, the curricula in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering were revised chiefly in the apportionment of the units of study per semester for all the four years. The faculty staff of the DEE in 1923 were as follows: Head & Professor - H.W. Reynolds (on leave); Acting Head & Asst. Prof. - Hermenegildo B. Reyes; Associate Professor - Henry L. Reich; Instructor - Juan L. Tiongson. In 1926, professor J. L. Tiongson was appointed university fellow to study in the United States. In 1927-1928, Mr. Cornelio German of the electrical engineering department resigned and his position was filled in by Mr. Francisco T. Sunico who had been special lecturer since 1926. http://upeeeaai.org | EEE EYES ASEAN 2015 13 T H E H I STO RY O F U P E E E I At the start of school year 1948-1949 there were 23 members of the faculty and ten lecturers. The enrollment numbered 500. After classes closed for Christmas recess in 1948, the University moved to the Diliman campus which heretofore had been occupied by the U.S. Army. The College of Engineering was assigned to occupy the Quonset huts and temporary buildings in the blocks bounded by North Avenue, North 1st street, Broadway and Bataan Road. (These streets are presently Osme–a Avenue, G. Apacible, Magsaysay Avenue and Emilio Jacinto Streets.) A Quonset hut which housed bowling alleys was converted into engineering offices. A small Quonset hut was repaired for the Library. Equipment and machines acquired for the various laboratories in Florida Street were hauled to the new campus and installed in the makeshift buildings. In the new Diliman Campus, despite the fact that most students commuted from Manila (at that time via España, Sta. Mesa and Katipunan Road), the Enrollment in the University steadily increased. The University, however, started the huge construction program of college building, laboratories, dormitories and other facilities. The only permanent building then were the College of Education (Benitez Hall) and the College of Law (Malcolm Hall). The construction of the Engineering building on the northside of the Campus was begun in 1949 along with other buildings. In the meanwhile, laboratory equipment were being acquired from various sources. In 1951 the College moved into the new four-story building along Osmeña Avenue, a mirror image of the Liberal Arts Building across the wide, dampy University Quadrangle. However, the east wing of the building was not yet constructed where the old University Theater was located. In 1953, Large quantities of equipment for the various laboratories, particularly for the Power Laboratory, Flotation Laboratory, Metallurgy Laboratory, Material Testing Laboratory, Electronics Laboratory, Chemical Engineering Laboratory, Hydraulics Laboratory, and Soil Mechanics Laboratory were received as FOA aid. The Electronics Training Project for instructors in electronic courses started on September 2, 1957. The ICA-NEC sponsored program conducted instruction in the operation of microwave equipment to two groups of trainees. Three RCA engineers and technicians joined the engineering staff to conduct the course. Some $60,000 worth of equipment for instruction were acquired for this purpose. One of the significant additions to the facilities of the College in 1953 was the setting up of the Radio Broadcasting Station, DZUP, and the electronics Communications Laboratory, DUIUP, atop the engineering building. The station and the laboratory provided training to electrical engineering students as well as serve the University for disseminating information of its activities to the public. 14 EEE EYES ASEAN 2015 | During the 1963 U.P. Alumni Engineers Homecoming, the Engineering Building was named Melchor Hall in honor of the late Col. Alejandro Melchor. He was an engineering alumnus, former member of the engineering faculty and the U.P. Board of Regents, Secretary of National Defense in the Philippine Cabinet in exile during World War II, and a researcher whose studies on pontoon bridges contributed significantly in winning the war for the Allied Forces. Dedication Ceremonies were held and a plaque was unveiled at the portico of the edifice with President Romulo as guest speaker and the family of Alejandro Melchor present. The heirs of German A. Yia, through his widow, Mrs. Pura Yia, donated a sizeable sum to finance the construction of the German A. Yia Hall. The building had been used for additional electrical laboratories. The building is situated at the corner of Magsaysay Avenue and Agoncillo Street. The late German A. Yia belonged to the mechanical engineering class of 1928. After graduation, he continuously worked for the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Company. He served as a President of U.P. Alumni engineers for two terms, from 1960-1962. The UP Alumni Engineers donated funds necessary for the furnishing of the German Yia Hall in 1974. In the 80's the whole department of Electrical Engineering moved to Yia hall. The solar lab was then established there, and the EE Power Lab transferred there as well. In 1994, the Department of Electrical Engineering was renamed the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (DEEE) and started offering the Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE) and Computer Engineering (CoE) Programs. In 2001, the department transferred to its current location along Velasquez St except for Solar Lab and Power Lab. In 2009, with the Yia Hall structure completely demolished to give way for the construction of the ME/IE Building, the Power Lab was eventually transferred to the new building. In 2008, the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering was elevated to an Institute. Construction of a new wing of the EEE Building started on August 2010. The construction of the building is made possible by a grant from the Infrastructure Program of the Department of Science and Technology Engineering Research and Development for Technology (ERDT) Program. It is expected to be occupied by 1st Semester Academic Year 2013-2014. The UP EEE Institute is gearing up for growth in enrollment in undergraduate and graduate levels in support of the country's efforts in promoting technology innovation. The EEEI is committed to building a 'critical mass' of highly-skilled engineers and scientists with advanced degrees. The provision of the new building, along with instructional and research equipment, will enhance the teaching and research capacity of the institute. It is a major milestone in the Institute's efforts to put relevant and responsive engineering education and research in the forefront of our country's push for global competitiveness. -taken from http://coe.upd.edu.ph/about/history and http://www. eee.upd.edu.ph http://upeeeaai.org E E E AC T I V I T I ES : ALUMNI ACTIVITIES & PROJECTS U P E E EA A I S U P P O RT TO ST U D E N TS A F F EC T E D BY T Y P H O O N YO L A N DA http://upeeeaai.org | EEE EYES ASEAN 2015 15 E E E I B L D G - 2 U P DAT ES The Institute has not remained idle as the world continued to evolve. It has adapted to the changing times in a multitude of creative and innovative ways, pushing technology research in the Philippines further than they ever have before. The new building now houses rooms for all EEEI graduate students. The end goal is for every graduate student to have their own personal desk, in order to encourage more students to enrol in the Institute’s graduate programs. Many of the rooms in the old building have also been renovated, starting with the Institute comfort rooms and one of the large lecture rooms. The Microelectronics and Microprocessors Laboratory has a new sponsor, Analog Devices. Much of their research has also shifted to analog electronics. They have also spearheaded Micro-Ed, which teaches basic microelectronics to interested parties. The Robotics and Automation Laboratory is now housed in the third floor new building, with a room solely dedicated to research and new equipment.
