The UST Electrical Engineering Department celebrates the success of our newest Thomasian Engineers in the April 2026 Registered Electrical Engineer Licensure Examination (REELE).

Our Department of Electrical Engineering continues to demonstrate excellence with strong performance across the board:

• Overall Passing Rate: 78.85% (41 out of 52 examinees)
• First-Time Takers: 81.25% (39 out of 48)
• Repeaters: 50.00% (2 out of 4)

Compared to the National Passing Rate of 57.49%, our Thomasians have once again proven their competence and dedication to the profession.

Congratulations to our new Registered Electrical Engineers!

Earlier today, April 16, 2026, faculty members from the UST Electrical Engineering Department visited the Municipality of Siniloan, Laguna, for a special Extension Service project.

The team is currently developing the As-Built Plans for the Siniloan Municipal Hall—a vital step in the town’s transition toward Solar Power Net Metering.

This mission was made even more meaningful as we were warmly welcomed by one of our own—Mayor Patrick Ellis Go, a former faculty member of our department! It is a proud moment for the UST EE family to see our former colleague leading his community toward sustainable energy solutions.

Thank you, Mayor Patrick, for the hospitality and for continuing the Thomasian tradition of service. We are honored to support your vision for a solar-powered Siniloan!
