RISING FROM THE RANKS

The University of Mindanao College of Engineering Education congratulates Dr. Chosel Lawagon, a faculty of the Chemical Engineering Program for bagging the Green Talents Award during the International Forum for High Potentials in Sustainable Development hosted by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

Dr. Chosel Lawagon is the Director of the Center for Green Nanotechnology Innovations for Environmental Solutions, and a faculty of the Chemical Engineering Program in the University of Mindanao. Together with the UM College of Engineering Education and College of Arts and Sciences Education, she is researching on the effects of landfill leachate in Davao River.

Among the 467 applicants from 78 countries around the world, she was one of the 25 chosen to present before a panel of German experts. As such, she will be travelling to Germany next year to partner with her chosen German institution to continue her research.

The UM College of Engineering Education is proud of your achievement. Truly, you manifest the University's vision of rising among the ranks!

📍📍📍THE REGISTRATION📍📍📍

We officially open the registration for PROJECT CASSIOPEIA: Phoenix's Inter-Department Tutorial Program. At long last, we were able to revive this tutorial program which has been passed down from generation to generation. We, the CEE-CSG Officers and Staffers, strongly believe in the mission, vision and objectives of this initiative. Being exposed to other students from different departments or courses will light up a spark of networkhood and connection - this will continuously connect the said students even after they graduate.

Now that being said, we are happy to welcome you all, and call everyone to register. These are the courses offered:
📍Math Plus
📍Physics
📍Statics
📍Engineering Economy
📍General Chemistry
📍Differential Calculus
📍Integral
