About University of the Immaculate Conception:
UIC is under the management of Religious of the Virgin Mary (RVM) Sisters. One of the main objectives of the school is to develop the student into a well-rounded person. Teachers were hired based on standard qualifications. Thus, quality education is guaranteed. Aside from that, students were motivated to enhance their talents and abilities through series of activities, shows and events. Above all, I just did not realize it right away but being prayerful had been implanted into my whole being.
It is a Catholic institution. But there was no discrimination or exclusiveness in terms of religion. Anyone can enroll regardless of faith and beliefs as long as rules and regulations must be followed.
People usually call the female students as PINK Ladies. The skirt color somehow reflects the virtues of Mother Ignacia Del Espiritu Santo who was the founder of RVM congregation.
The Management ensured that the school has the most advanced facilities to aid the learning of students along the way. There were designated laboratories for all subjects that required testing and further studies. Complete equipment and tools were readily available and will be provided during laboratory experiments. Advanced technologies were installed in Audio/Visual rooms. I said rooms because there was not only one due to the growth of population. The school has big libraries with so many books and other reading materials. Several numbers of tables and chairs were situated in almost every corner and sides of the room to accommodate students. Yet, they still looked spacious and organized. Gymnasium, auditorium, playground, basketball courts, prayer rooms, clinic, school supplies store and many others…. Name them. They are all available inside the school. Most of all, they have the most advanced computer laboratories that meet the demands and requirements encountered upon.
About your education:
Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering is an IT course that focuses not only on the software part of computer system but also the hardware itself. It introduces the entire computer system; its architecture, operation and components that make it operational and useful.
I love Mathematics and such computer education has started to be in demand during my college years. Well, I never thought it to dominate the world through the years until the current generation.
Actually, it was not my first choice but of my best friend.
Mathematics in Engineering courses are not as easy as 1 2 3. I almost gave up with Differential Calculus and Electromagnetics. But when we started taking up Electronics, Logic Circuit, and Machine Language subjects, my curiosity was awaken. The course was not entirely difficult. It was very challenging.
Yes, it was indeed very interesting! It’s amazing to learn that the basic concept of numbers led to the development of technology nowadays. The simple existence of 1’s and 0’s had been the gateway of man to rule over machines.
What is your current job?
I am currently teaching IT subjects in a Technical School.

How long did it take to find a job after graduation?
Finding a job was easy, honestly. I was immediately accepted as an IT instructor in a reputable school right after graduation. There were also some series of interviews and variety of offers that came along during those times. When I decided to widen my knowledge and improve my technical skills, I resigned from being a teacher and work as System Administrator for several years.
Would you recommend others to study BS in Computer Engineering?
Only few students really did make it through BSCoE course. Aside from the fact that you have to study it for 5 years, the subjects and projects really demanded focus, patience and seriousness. You have to be really intellectually capable to remain sane and succeed.
