The energy was high, the laughters were loud, and the CE spirit was stronger than ever. Here’s a look at the captured moments from the Civil Engineering Department’s team-building getaway at Mt. Maruyog Farm and Garden Resort.

From challenges that pushed our teamwork to the limit to the carefree moments filled with smiles and inside jokes, every photo reflects that our fam knows how to build, bond, and have fun together.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, shared the energy, and helped make this experience possible and memorable. This wouldn’t have been the same without each member of the CE family. It's just a simple proof that our strongest foundation will always be our people.

𝗖𝗘 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽

The Civil Engineering Department held its first ever Research Orientation and Workshop 2025 on September 5 at the CHTM Pavilion, carrying the theme “Igniting the First Steps in Student Research.” The event aimed to prepare undergraduate students for their thesis journey by introducing research concepts, structures, and methodologies.

In her welcome address, Asst. Prof. Merhanna Pangandaman urged students to value the opportunity, stressing that research allows the creation of solutions through curiosity and discipline. She noted that in previous years, such programs were not available, highlighting the importance of the orientation in strengthening academic foundations.

Keynote speaker Assoc. Prof. Rimmon S. Labadan, Ph.D. discussed “How to Start Research for Undergraduate and Graduate Students,” defining research as the discovery of new information, verification of knowledge, and a challenge to existing understanding. He also outlined types of research, major components of a thesis, and the need for valid, unbiased procedures. He reminded students that research success begins with the right topic and advisor, summarized in his formula: “Topic + Advisor = Thesis.”

Meanwhile, Asst. Prof. Warda Panondi presented the MSU Research Agenda, emphasizing that students’ research topics must be relevant and aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). She underscored the importance of producing research that contributes not only to academic growth but also to sustainable and community-centered development.

The program concluded with an open forum where both on-site and online participants raised questions and clarifications. Students also engaged in a hands-on workshop, formulating their own research topics and statements, which they later presented. The activity marked an essential step in equipping Civil Engineering students with the knowledge and discipline needed for academic research.

If YES-terday once more na talaga, let's double check again. Malay mo parang naka-radians na scicalc pala yan.

To see if you're all set for tomorrow, make sure na dala mo ang mga nasa checklist from our back to school essentials above.

And all that's left is isang "ingat and rest well" from us (para fair sa lahat chos). See you tomorrow, fellow MSUans!

𝑩𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒈 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓:
The foundation stage. Bago ang lahat—mga kaklase, professors, sistema. Nariyan ang kaba pero mas lalo na ang excitement. 'One step closer to the world of professionals', ika nga. Unti-unting mo ng ginuguhit ang sariling kapalaran, maging ang eyebags. Culture shock sa Physics at Calculus. Tinatanong ang sarili kung "Kaya ko ba?". Pero keep on dreaming, future Engr.!

𝑩𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓:
Nararamdaman na ang load, literally at figuratively. Napupurga na ng mga solvings at umiikot ang ulo kasama ang moment. Pero medyo sanay na rin, dahil nahuhubog na ang time management, tibay ng loob at ang immunity sa caffeine. Who you ngayon ang 'triple kill', kapag nalampasan, diba?

𝑩𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒅 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓:
Yakap-yakap na ang mga reviewer notes para sa structural analysis na parang unan, at naiimagine na as hard hats. Nasisimula mo ng mahulaan na hindi din lalabas lahat ng formulas sa exam. Ngunit tuloy pa rin ang laban, dahil kasunod ay ang OJT at maaapply na ang lahat ng sinosolve sa papel sa practical field.

𝑩𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒈 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓:
Almost done, future Engr.! Kaunting hakbang na lang. Nariyan pa rin ang bigat ng Pre-boards at Thesis, pero mas maliwanag na ang dulo. Persevere 'till the end, na may kaunting gaslight, at graduation na ang kasunod.

𝑩𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒈 𝑴𝒂𝒈-𝒃𝒐-𝒃𝒐𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔:
The final battle. Ang tanging dasal: “Lord, kahit 75 lang, bonus na kung may dagdag pa.”
Puyat, review, dasal, break down, review ulit. Ginagamit na ang lahat ng naipong lessons sa college para labanan ang naipong pressure sa paligid at exam. Pero nakayanan ang 4 plus years ng pag-aaral. One final push, may license na. And finally, may maririnig ng Engr. bago ang iyong pangalan.

𝐒𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐚, 𝐮𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐚!

Sa jeep ng engineering, hindi mo kailangang mauna. Hindi mo kailangang perpekto. Minsan sabit lang, minsan siksik, minsan nahuhulog sa lubak, okay lang, basta't nakasakay pa. At kahit anong taon ka pa: freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, o reviewee—isa lang ang totoo:
Basta’t patuloy ka lang sa byahe, makararating ka pa rin. Ang buhay ay di kareraaaaa.

𝑷𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒐𝒏, 𝑺𝑶𝑪𝑬𝑺!
