The College of Engineering of Sultan Kudarat State University โ Isulan Campus held its highly anticipated 2025 Pinning and Hard Hatting Ceremony at the Sultan Kudarat Sports Complex on June 16, 2025, under the theme โForged in Knowledge, Strengthened by Innovation: Building the Future, One Vision at a Time. โ
The event showcased a proud display of academic achievement, as engineering students from three degree programsโBachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering (BSECE), Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE), and Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCpE)โmarched in procession alongside their parents and mentors. Faculty members followed in a show of unity and support.
The program formally opened with welcome remarks from Engr. Charity L. Oria, Chairperson of the BSCpE program. This was followed by a motivational address from Engr. Lenmar T. Catajay, Dean of the College of Engineering, who urged students to โshow the world what SKSU engineers are made of.โ
A key highlight of the ceremony was the official presentation and pinning of student interns qualified for On-the-Job Training (OJT). Engr. Alexes N. Gallo, Chairperson of the BSECE program, led the recognition of 19 Electronics and Communications Engineering students. He was followed by Engr. Kim Tyrone Cardenas, BSCE Program Chairperson, who presented 71 Civil Engineering students, all of whom received their pins, vests, and symbolic hard hats. Engr. Oria concluded the segment by presenting 66 Computer Engineering students, each proudly receiving their OJT pins.
To guide the students as they prepare for field deployment, Engr. Percila M. Panagdato, OJT Coordinator, conducted an orientation on SKSUโs internship guidelines. The OJT Pledge, led by Engr. Catajay, affirmed the studentsโ commitment to professionalism, discipline, and learning.
The event concluded with a message of appreciation from Engr. Gallo, thanking the faculty, students, and families for their unwavering support and contribution to the success of the ceremony.
As the students prepare to complete their 240-hour internships with various partner agencies, the event marked not just a rite of passage but a launchpad into the professional world. With knowledge as their foundation and innovation as their compass, SKSUโs aspiring engineers stand ready to help shape the futureโone beam, one vision, and one breakthrough at a time.
