Community Outreach at DHVCAT - STE Lectures

DLSU-Manila's Structural Engineering Division faculty members, Dr. Andres Oreta, Dr. Bernardo Lejano and Dr. Jonathan Dungca conducted Reinforcing Lectures on Seismic Analysis and Design of Structures at the Don Honorio Ventura College of Arts and Trades (DHVCAT), Bacolor, Pampanga last November 28, 2008. The following lectures were presented: Oreta on his photo-video presentations on "Understanding Earthquakes and Disasters," Lejano on "Seismic Forces on Buildings ," and Dungca on "Seismic Analysis of Bridges." They were welcomed by Engr. Reden Hernandez, Dean of DHVCAT's Institute of Science and Technology and Engr. Raul Duya, DHVCAT CE Dept. Chair. About 80 senior DHVCAT students attended the lectures. Incidentally, the DLSU ECE Department faculty also conducted lectures to the DHVCAT ECE students and faculty on the same date. activities are conducted in connection with the Adopt-an-Engineering-School Program of the DLSU College of Engineering.

Hydraulics Laboratory Exhibits - Developing Research, Model Making and Presentation Skills

T-shirt design to promote awareness on flooding

The Bulacan Flooding Exhibit

A student exhibit is an end-of-the-term project in the Hydraulics Laboratory when it was a two unit laboraotry course. These projects develop life-long learning and communication skills. Students do library, internet and field research, design their presentations and projects - posters and/or models and present orally their projects in front of a panel of judges.

In 2009, HYDRALA students, presented their projects related to the Typhoon Ondoy. Each group was assigned a  location in Metro Manila and vicinity for them to do research on the flood hazard, causes of flooding, extent of damage and recommended solutions to mitigate the flood risk. The group of Katrina Tengki and Earl De Guzman on flooding in Bulacan won the best project.





































In 2008, undergraduate students enrolled in the Hydraulics Laboratory created both working and non-working models related to Hydraulics and Water Resources (HWR) Engineering. The DLSU Civil Engineering Society (CES) sponsored a competion for the HWR models. The models were judged by the HWR professors – Dr. Danilo Terante and Dr. Renan Tanhueco and other CE Faculty Members. The 1st place winners in the competition were:
Non-Working Model: Hydro-Electric Power Plant by A. Viernes, D.J. Vidad, J. Feraer, K. Llamada, D. Llanes and E. Cheng.

Working Model: Pipe Network in a Subdivision by M. Gawaran, H. de Guia, M. Arigo and P. Adiaz.

The other working models which won 2nd and 3rd were the models on Flood Control (Flood Gates) and Overflow Spillway with Vertical Gate.

 

CES competes at MapuaTech CE Quiz

Third year DLSU Civil Engineering Society (CES) members participated at the 2nd Mapua Institute of Technology CE Quiz Contest last November 21, 2008. The participants were Morgan Say, Cheska del Castillo, Jet Tugado, El Rey Morales and Manuel Antonio Mayo. The CE quiz competition covers the various CE subjects including Mathematics (Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Differential Equations), Engineering Economy, Engineering and Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics, Surveying, Strength of Materials, Structural Analysis, Soil Mechanics and Structural Design (RC, Steel, Timber). Despite being handicapped since they have not yet taken any structural design subject, the DLSU participants gave a good performance. However they did not qualify to the top 10 and final round.
