CvSU pays tribute to the new Agriculturists and Agricultural Engineers

In coordination with the College of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Natural Resources (CAFENR) and the College of Engineering and Information Technology (CEIT), the University held a testimonial luncheon for Agriculturist and Agricultural Engineer Licensure Exams passers on August 19, 2014 at the S.M. Rolle Hall, Cavite State University (CvSU). The event aimed to give due acknowledgment and recognition to the performance and achievements of the graduates for both flagship programs of the university. CvSU obtained a passing rate of 51.28% for the 2014 Agriculturist Licensure Exam and 75.00% for the AE Licensure Exam over a national passing percentage of 36.00 and 75.00, respectively.

The event was attended by the board exam passers together with their parents, Dr. Divinia C. Chavez (CvSU President), Dr. Luzviminda Rodrin (VPEBA), Dr. Ma. Agnes P. Nuestro (VPAA), and faculty members of both colleges. Inspirational messages were delivered by the Vice Presidents and the President herself, who even shared her struggles and personal story during her time of taking her licensure exam. As Dr. Chavez said, “The University is hoping that this may serve as an inspiration and challenge to the members of CvSU family and to fellow students to strive harder in achieving a higher and better quality of education and learning.” Furthermore, Engr. Jonathan Flores, AE Licensure Exam topnotcher and his father Mr. Joselito Flores, also shared their inspirational stories and thanksgiving.

The testimonial luncheon was highlighted by the distribution of plaques of recognition for the exam passers and cheques for the topnotchers. A buffet lunch followed after. Unfortunately, Mr. Paul Ryan Alcantara, Agriculturist Licensure Exam 6th placer was not able to attend the event.

Meanwhile, the College of Engineering and Information Technology (CEIT) also held the same testimonial thanksgiving at the CEIT Conference Room on July 14, 2014. The event was initiated by the faculty of the college involving the 2014 licensure exam passers for Architecture, Electronics, Electrical and Agricultural Engineering. According to Dr. Rhodora V. Nuestro, CEIT dean, the event will be an annual activity to serve as a “Pahiyang” celebration to recognize the achievements of licensure exam passers. (KMACrystal)

DAFE implements departmentalization of exams

Clusters of students taking the preliminary exam

The Department of Agricultural and Food Engineering (DAFE), headed by Dr. Leyma L. Cero, started to implement the departmentalization of examinations for all mathematics subjects offered by the department during the preliminary examination on July 23, 24 and 28, 2014. All students taking a particular mathematics subject were arranged alphabetically and clustered into 50 students per room. To facilitate hundreds of students taking similar exam at the same time, rooms from DIET and Engineering Science buildings were used. 

This initiative was conducted to ensure that students are taking similar lectures and exams on their respective subject. It also aims to measure the performance of the students in general and avoid the possibility of cheating incident. 

Michael P. Enriquez, John Carlo Espineli, Den Whilrex R. Garcia (all ECE 3-1) and Roxcell J. Gloriani (CE 3-1) topped the exam in Differential Equations with a score of 98%. Miguel Joseph Jacoba (ECE 2-1) topped the exam in Differential Calculus with a score of 99%. Moreover, Jayzen Lorenzo (Arch 1-2) and Kazelle Anne Sallegue (ECE1-1) topped the exam in Trigonometry and Algebra with scores of 88% and 100%, respectively. (JJLorenzo)
