Bringing ERDT Mapua Opportunities to Western Philippines University!

Another meaningful milestone for the Engineering Research and Development for Technology (ERDT) Program as the team successfully conducted the ERDT Scholarship Roadshow at Western Philippines University (WPU) on October 14, 2026.

Led by Dean Alvin R. Caparanga, ERDT Project Leader and Dean of Graduate Studies, together with Lorraine S. Hilario and Jeric P. Esplana, ERDT Staff, and Rosie Ann C. Pascual, Graduate Studies Staff, the team introduced graduating engineering students to the ERDT Scholarship Program funded by the Department of Science and Technology – Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI).

The roadshow highlighted opportunities for aspiring engineers to pursue Master’s and PhD studies and take the next step toward becoming researchers, innovators, and contributors to the country's science and technology development.

The ERDT team extends its heartfelt appreciation to Western Philippines University, headed by President Dr. Amabel S. Liao, and to Dr. Cesario A. Bacosa Jr, Dean of College of Engineering and Technology for the warm welcome and support extended to the team during the visit.

The success of the WPU roadshow strengthens our commitment to reaching more engineering students and opening pathways toward advanced education, research and innovation. 🔬⚙️🌱

Thank you, Western Philippines University, for being part of our ERDT Roadshow!
