On 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟐, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, the University of Baguio (UB) successfully conducted an educational seminar titled “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲: 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐂 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 & 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧” at the 𝐔𝐁 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲. The event aimed to strengthen knowledge on the Integrated Circuits (IC) manufacturing process and promote integration of different fields to enhance industrial innovation.
The seminar featured Mr. Eric Sacayanan, an Equipment Engineer at Texas Instruments, who served as the Resource Speaker. During his session, Mr. Sacayanan discussed the general and common processes that IC manufacturing goes through. He provided practical advice on how individuals from different fields of IT,CS,CPE, and ECE can work to structure integration of specialization in innovating the future.
The event was organized by Mr. Christian David Rojo, Mr. Dexter Sagun, Mr. Russel Jay Siloy, Ms. Tricia Tangoay, and Ms. Roxanne Czarina Worwor, with the support and guidance of their instructor, Ms. Junamil Zamora. Their teamwork and dedication ensured the success of the seminar, from preparation to execution.
A total of 36 participants attended the seminar. The attendees were students from the Department of Information Technology and Department of Engineering and Architecture, representing the courses Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT), Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS), Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCpE), Bachelor of Engineering Technology Major in Mechatronics (BET-MECHA), and Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering (BSECE). The presence of students from these tech-focused programs made the seminar even more relevant, as they engaged with the speaker through questions and active participation.
This initiative also supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically:
- SDG 4: Quality Education, by enriching students’ IC manufacturing and IC industry knowledge.
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, by promoting awareness of IC and robotics innovation.
By organizing this seminar, the University of Baguio continues to showcase its commitment to providing timely, real-world learning opportunities for students and cultivating a community that values innovation.
