📍Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati Auditorium.

The UST Department of Electronics Engineering faculty members, together with the UST ECE Alumni Association, proudly stand alongside the UST Faculty of Engineering in celebrating the University's 415th Founding Anniversary at the inaugural IM-PaCT (Institutional and Multi-sectoral Partnership for Collaboration and Transformation): UST Engineering Partners Summit 2026!

Held from May 19–20, 2026, at the BGPOP Grand Ballroom, this year’s summit centers on the powerful theme:

“Thom-PaCT: Uniting Thomasians and Multi-Sectoral Partners as One 1NS19NIA of Excellence Towards 120.”

Our ECE academic staff and officials joined the opening ceremonies to champion strategic collaborations that bridge the gap between classroom excellence and global industry demands. Over this two-day event, our faculty is actively engaging in:

🤝 Partnership Dialogues & Networking – Cultivating robust ties with industry leaders to keep our curriculum cutting-edge.

📜 ExACom Signing – Solidifying future-ready education through the External Advisory Committee Memorandum of Understanding.

🏆 Partner Recognition – Celebrating the valuable multi-sectoral agencies that support our students.

💼 Career Fair Support – Guiding our graduating and internship-ready ECE Thomasians as they transition to the professional world.

By uniting with our alumni and industry partners, the ECE Department continues to pave the way for innovation, research, and transformative engineering education. Together, we are one insignia of excellence!

Dear ECE students,

Please see the Final Examination schedule. Thank you, all the best, and may God bless you in your preparations and examinations.

[New Publication]

Congratulations to Engr. Nikko John Leo S. Lobos for their new publication entitled “Observational signatures of quantum-corrected RN blackhole” in the prestigious journal Annals of Physics, a Q1 journal with Impact Factor of 3.0.

This research investigates how quantum-corrected Reissner-Nordström (RN) black holes present themselves to astrophysical observers. By analyzing the null geodesic structure, the study explores the competition between electric charge and the quantum correction parameter.

Access the journal at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aop.2026.170497

Dear 4th year ECE students,

Please see the Final Examination schedule (Second Term, AY 2025–2026).

Wishing you all the best in your preparations and examinations.

God bless!
