EE/ECE dept receives DSP kits from Analog Devices worth P800T, signs MOA with NCR–Cebu Development Center

The University of San Carlos through the Electrical and Electronics and Communications Engineering Department received some Digital Signal Processing (DSP) kits worth around P800,000 from Analog Devices Incorporated (ADI), a US–based electronics firm with a plant in Cavite.

The formal turnover ceremony was held during the opening ceremony of the Cebu ECE Students Congress 2007 at the USC Talamban Campus covered court on Friday, March 16, 2007. USC President, Fr. Roderick C. Salazar Jr., SVD, was at hand to receive the DSP kits from Analog Devices Engineering Manager Engr. Alberto Geronimo, Jr. A one–day DSP training of EE/ECE faculty members facilitated by ADI engineers immediately followed the event.

Also on the same occasion, Fr. Salazar inked a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with NCR–Cebu Development Center, Inc., represented by Managing Director Engr. Miguel A. Esparaguera that will pave the way for faculty and students to undertake corporate internship at the facilities of NCR located at Asiatown, IT Park, Lahug, Cebu City. Under the said MOA, student internship will commence this April 2007 with the details of the faculty internship now under final consideration by both parties.

The tie-ups with Analog Devices, Inc. and NCR both articulated the EE/ECE department’s strong industry linkage program designed to make the department’s curricula responsive and relevant to the needs of the industry.
