RICARDO E. ROTORASSUC President IV

The Mindanao University of Science and Technology continues to serve the community with dedication as shown in the highlights of the first six months of the year. Through all these, quality, relevance, access, effectiveness and efficiency remain to be the guiding principles.

The commitment to provide a wider access to quality higher education to poor but deserving youth is a constant driving force of this University. Last February, we started the construction of our eight-storey Engineering Complex that is expected to provide 20 additional classrooms and 6 laboratories to support the ever-increasing enrolment. We have started using the newly-renovated university gym and have equipped 5 science laboratories in the Science Complex.

Our research teams are busy with fieldwork, focusing specially on research problems that address pressing concerns in the energy and environment — the areas where the university feels there is an urgent call for its contribution.

In the academic side, the university is on a momentum to push its accreditation further. While CHED and AACCUP visits continue, the university coordinates with other sectors to bridge the gap in quality standards, vis a vis the industries, other national and international accreditation systems.

It also aligns itself with the regional and national development agenda. At the regional level, the university works closely with the other SUCs for better regional complementation in order to ensure efficient use of resources in the regional higher education sector. For the 2014 budget proposal, we have upgraded our indicators and targets to make them at par with the newly-set DBM indicators for SUC Level IV, in which category the university belongs.

Over and above these highlights are the countless efforts that the MUST community—our faculty, researchers, staff and students, take on a regular basis in order to sustain the brand of the MUST.

G. Outcomes-Based Education In its continuous efforts to provide the best and quality education to MUST students and to equip them for the real world, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Ruth G. Cabahug, led with the deans of the University, Dr. Ambrosio B. Cultura II (CEA), Dr. Consorcio S. Namoco (CIIT), Vima Socorro J. Tandog (CAS), and Dr. Estrella F. Perez (CPSEM), in benchmarking the outcome-based education (OBE) at Mapua Institute of Technology (MIT) on June 14, 2013. Engr. Felicito Caluyo of MIT welcomed the group and gave an overview of the OBE. He emphasized that relevance in education would mean addressing the needs of the students and employers of today and providing the future graduates a curriculum of global comparability. He further explained that the implementation of OBE starts by looking at the vision and mission of the school.

“ Benchmarking the outcome-based

education..”

12 MUST Semi-Annual Report 2013

The university will then align its programs educational objectives (PEOs) and program objectives (POs). Assessment and evaluation are also necessary in order to monitor its progress. The activity ended on a positive note from Engr. Caluyo for MIT to help in facilitating the establishment of OBE at MUST.

H. Building International Collaboration The university sent Dr. Ruth G. Cabahug, VP for Academic Affairs represented the University during the 2013 CDIO Asian Regional Meeting and the Temasek Foundation-Singapore Polytechnic TVET (Engineering) Specialists Programme in Asia on March 26-28, 2013. The former was an event aimed at providing opportunities for CDIO collaborators and educators from around Asia to work actively to build partnerships, exchange ideas and experiences, learn from educational development of each institution, and further refine their curricula and pedagogical practices while the latter event aims to introduce participants (beginners to CDIO) to the CDIO approach and framework for rethinking engineering education. CDIO stands for C-conceive; D – develop; I – implement; and O – operate. This is an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The attendance to the 2013 Asian Regional Meeting is really a boast to the university as the knowledge gained in that meeting will serve as inputs to the establishment of the OBE System in the engineering programs. In particular, the CDIO model can be used to strengthen the delivery of instruction of the engineering programs as well as non-engineering programs being offered by the university. As a whole, exposure to international conferences such as this would really contribute to the efforts of the university in improving the quality of education in several aspects, which will hopefully lead to international recognition of its programs.

MUST Semi-Annual Report 2013

A. MUST Addresses Energy Crisis in Mindanao University energy scientists have been focusing their studies on the Mindanao energy crisis specifically on alternative sources of energy, policy issues, and making the Mindanao energy market more efficient. The university has been lending technical advice to electric cooperatives and other stakeholders in the sector in order to push for the Mindanao power agenda: that of having reliable, affordable, sustainable power supply in Mindanao.

For the past two years, the University, through the Institute of Power Sector Economics (IPSEc), has worked with the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives Inc. (AMRECO), and the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), to hold a Mindanao-wide Congress on the Mindanao energy crisis. It held the 2nd Mindanao Congress of the Advocates for Renewable Energy and Rural Electrification & Development (MinCARED) on May 27 and 28, 2013 at Xavier Estates Country Club Grand Convention Hall in Cagayan de Oro City. The Congress was marked by atwo-day event with the theme: “Mainstreaming the Mindanao Power Agenda.”

More than 400 participants from the electric cooperatives of Mindanao, localgovernment units, government agencies, academic institutions, energy companies and media organizations gathered to tackle the energy issues in Mindanao.

Dr. Dionel O. Albina, Head of the Center for Research in Engineering and Architecture, MUST presents his paper entitled “Wind and Biomass”.

“Mainstreaming the Mindanao Power Agenda.”

MUST President Dr. Ricardo E. Rotoras, AMRECO President Sergio C. Dagooc and MinDA representative Director Romeo Montenegro answered the animated questions of the media during the press conference.


Three discussion groups were formed in the afternoon to tackle the following topics: Mindanao Hydro Electric Power Plant, Renewable Energy and Rural Electrification and Policy Issues. Dr. Ricardo E. Rotoras thoroughly discussed the Central Purchasing Mechanism as a key to attainsustainable and reliable generation in Mindanao. The president’s presentation enlightened the participants on a practical, doable and straightforward approach in solv-ing the power problem. It presented a model necessary to ensure sustainable and reliable generation supply, fair and reasonable electricity prices, and provide solutions to the debate on how hydro plants should be operated. Head of the MUST Center for Research in Engineering & Architecture, Dr. Dionel O. Albina, also dis-cussed the possibility of wind and biomass energy as one of the solutions of the power crisis in Mindanao. Wind power is a potential energy alternative that will address the present dilemma faced by the rural electric coopera-tives. Biomass, on the other hand, is another potential source for energy resources; however it has some envi-ronmental issues and among these issues are air quality, global climate change, soil and water conservation and bio-diversity and habitat change. The potential for distributed power generation of the

Fuel Cell System was presented by the dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture, Dr. Ambrosio B. Cultura II. Fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device that converts hydrogen and oxygen into electricity, heat,

and water. It is said to be an expensive technology among the renewable energies that has been introduced but nevertheless the most promising alternative considering its proven efficiency. With a strong expert base on energy, a more involved participation by the university in working out a sustainable energy sector in Mindanao, can be expected.

22

B. Establishing the University’s Renewable Energy Demonstration Facilities The extending of the university’s expertise to the energy sector has been stepped up with the installation of the Wind Turbine, Solar Panels, and Smart Grid at the LRC Building located inside the main campus. This is a major component of the P20 Million university project, “Renewable Energy Demonstration in Mindanao” funded by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The University through its Power Institute has initiated the proposal to establish the renewable energy demonstration facilities in Mindanao which will serve as a training center in renewable energy for industries, academe and other stakeholders in the power sector. The facility is not only a mere showcase of the academe but it is also a tool to move research towards demonstrating the viability of the renewable energy technologies that will support the power and energy programs of the government and industries. Proponents of the are project Dr. Ambrosio B. Cultura II, Dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture; Dr. Dionel O. Albina, Head of the Center for Research in Engineering and Architecture, and Dr. Nolan D. Caliao.

The wind and solar panels are installed at the rooftop of the LRC building located at the MUST main campus.

power sector”


C. Linkages and Networks

The year 2013 started on a very promising note for the University with many prospective linkages and networks. The HABITAT FOR HUMANITY coordinated with MUST students and faculty volunteers in celebration of their 25th year as a foundation, with two MUST alumni acting as Habitat executives. A total of 144 faculty and students built houses for the Sendong survivors together with the MUST Gintong Amihan Dance Troupe on May 1, 2013. Among other groups which were recognized as partners is the Cagayan de Oro River Basin Management Council (CDORBMC) led by Archbishop Antonio Ledesma, S.J. D.D. It was formed after the extreme and devastating Tropical Typhoon Sendong. As a member of two Technical Working Groups, Community Development and Resource Management, MUST always attended meetings and capacitating seminars for such.

The Climate Change Map of CDO River Basin was made after the rigorous study of Dr. Esteban C. Godilano of the Climate Change Congress of the Philippines (CCCP) which made the LGU leaders of Cagayan de Oro, Bukidnon and Iligan realize that their water sheds are contributory factors to the flooding of CDO. The University Director of Extension was in attendance in most of the meetings.

MUST was also in attendance during the training on RA9262 otherwise known as an “Act Defining Violence Against Women and their Children, providing for Protective Measures for Victims, prescribing penalties therefore, and for other purposes” sponsored by the United Nations for Women and Children’s Fund through the Touch Foundation. The Bitan-ag Creek Rehabilitation Project, flagship environmental project of the University, was presented to the city Environment Office. It was duly recognized and will be included in the plan to preserve the Watersheds and Waterways.

Chapter IV. Administration and Finance

A. University Leadership

An Outstanding Evaluation of Dr. Rotoras’ Leadership Confirms a Second Term for MUST Presidency

Dr. Ricardo E. Rotoras is now on his second term as university president. The report of the Evaluation Committee created by the Board of Regents to further the accomplishment of Dr. Rotoras, headed by Dr. Emerlinda R. Roman, the immediate past president of the University of the Philippines as chairperson with members: Dr. zenaida Gersana (CHED), Dr. Joana Cuenca (PASUC), Dr. Ambrosio B. Cultura II (Academe) and Mr. Soc Anthony M. del Rosario (Private Sector), unanimously rated his performance as Outstanding.

The report of the committee to the Board of Regents highlighted the performances of Dr. Rotoras as an Academic Leader, Institution Builder and as a Resource Mobilizer/Fund Raiser.

As an Academic Leader, his administration showed that while infrastructure development may have taken center stage during his term, the academic excellence did not take a back seat. Curricular programs improved and were accredited; more faculties engaged themselves in research; more publications came out; the allocation increased and so much more. The students’ performance in licensure examination greatly improved with MUST passing percentages making higher marks than the national percentage. There has also been an increase in the number of faculty with doctorate degrees. Moreover, faculty and students continue to receive local and international awards.

As an Institution Builder, Dr. Rotoras paved the way for the transformation of the university to become one of the leading SUCs in the country. MUST has been identified by the power sector as an able arm in its assistance in solving the power problem in Mindanao which is also an indicator of the community’s high regard of the university. Governance has improved with the creation of new administrative positions, specifically Vice Presidents, to give more attention to student affairs, resource generation and generaladministration and services.

The leadership of Dr. Rotoras as a Resource Mobilizer/ Fund-Raiser, increased the university’s income by about 300% over the last 7 years, enabling the university to undertake infrastructure projects usinginternally generated funds.

Guided by a belief that the right principles lead to good analysis and decision making, Dr. Rotoras

untiringly works with his executive team to set up the various systems across the university. He believes that there is no better legacy he can give to the future university leaders than a well-set up ways of doing things. An aggressive faculty and staff development is an immediate direction that he wants to take in order to en-sure sustainability of all initiatives taken since his first term.

Executive Management Training

The university felt the need to upgrade the capacity and competence of the administrative support who have potential to become administrators. While the faculty had long been enjoying the faculty develop-ment program, the administrative support has not enjoyed similar benefits. The university proposes to con-duct the executive management training for its officials. This program aims to provide capacity building for incumbent and potential executives of the university and develop a pool of qualified university executives. Specifically, it will pursue the following objectives: a) equip university executives and personnel with appro-priate and strategic competencies that are needed to ensure the university’s competitive edge in the light of the public higher education reform and global competition; b) sharpen the participants’ overall leadership skills in order to form a strong leadership team, composed of the incumbent and potentially qualified future leaders of the university; and c) design a succession plan for the university in order to ensure sustainability of development efforts that can transcend any administration.

MUST hosts FGD for the National Executive Development Training

The Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), in partnership with CHED, held a focus group discussion at MUST last April 8, 2013. This was in connection with a nationwide joint implementation of the Executive Development Program for State Universities and Colleges (EDPS). The EDPS is “aimed at equipping the top executives of various SUCs all over the country with key leadership and management competencies required to effectively lead their respective schools towards performance excellence and global competitive-ness.” The FGD was attended by key officials of state universities and colleges from Misamis Oriental, including MUST and gathered the ideas on the process of appointing/designating key officials including its advantages and disadvantages, possibilities of establishing a career system for the SUCS — what should be its elements, how it is going to be effectively operationalized and sustained, etc. The objective of the Career System is to train potential key officials on management and leadership skills or competencies necessary to run SUCs in the country, thus creating a pool of highly trained people for top administrative and academic functions.

Licuanan. Chair Licuanan praised the region’s initiatives and expressed her optimism on the success of these efforts. Later in the day, the group continued with a workshop on threshing out concerns on implementing the complementation plan. NEDA-10 and CHED-10 facilitated the meeting. The group agreed that the plan will be presented to a bigger forum that will involve the other stakeholders, to ensure buying-in of the program by the intended beneficiaries.

PASUC President Ricardo E. Rotoras attended the Executive Course in Education Management and Leadership for SUC Presidents last January 3-6, 2013.

The course is part of the Executive Development Program for State Universities and Colleges (EDPS), a joint project of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) and the Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC), which aims to enhance the leadership and management capabilities of senior executives and managers of public higher education institutions.


C. Pushing the SUCs Agenda Along with leading the university as it implements its annual work and financial plan for the year, Dr. Rotoras has been working hard to push the SUCs agenda at the national level and as PASUC president, been assisting all SUCs in finding ways and means to address their various concerns. On top of these were linkaging and collaboration with national and international organizations for executive capacity building, NBC 461 full implementation, moratorium on tuition fee increase, upgrading of standards to suit industry and global requirements, etc. As PASUC President, he ensures that the SUCs concerns are appropriately taken at the national level while at the same time, all will deliver on its commitment to the roadmap of the Philippine Higher Education Reform (PHER) 2011-2016.

D. Bridging the Academe-Industry Gap

Working hand in hand with other leaders in the national higher education sector, President Rotoras was recently elected as the Vice President of the National Industry-Academe (IA) Council. The National IA Council is intended to be a key driver for education reform in the country.

The council is composed of high level members from both industry and academe. One of its efforts is to bridge the gap between the academe and industry in order to meet the latter’s standards. A five-year agenda will soon be formulated which will center on 1) increasing the industry involvement in academia; 2) improving market information skills demand forecasts and school performance; 3) improving access and leveling the playing field in the higher education sector; and 4) improving governance in the higher education sector.
