Ever wondered what would it be like to be an Electronics Engineering (EcE) graduate, to land on a job thats tailor-made for the five-year blood, sweat and tears youve shed? Think its that easy to imagine? In reality, supply is greater than demand; a lot of graduates are produced but fewer jobs are available. Now as far as facts are concerned, around four thousand (4,000) EcE graduates attempt to become engineers believing that its a little more convenient to have the title of Engineer in your name when applying for a jobit is. No wonder the passing rate for the licensure has gotten near heavens gate just to cut down the number to around a thousand or 25% of the original. Then again, we are Filipinos and, needless to say, we know these in general. Income is essential to keep up with what kind of lifestyle you have. A job is a job nonetheless. Trending, and not far off from your job option, is taking on the role of a call center agent. Its a decent job. You get calls, answer them, and then earn the money. However, consider the big risks on health especially when the time comes you are to be assigned in the graveyard shift. Switching the body clock constantly causes a lot of strain. Developing insomnia and not getting enough rest will cause great damage to the body. Moreover, another downside is stagnation due to the repetitive procedures already existing in other words, problems reoccurring over and over with the same solutions. The brain works lesser and lesser than it used to. Realizing along the way that its not the ideal job thats wanted and needed is a bit too late. You, as an EcE student or graduate, are not cut out for that. You are meant to be greater. As early as now, aim high! A professor once said Its impossible for you to be a cum laude or do amazing things if you didnt choose to do it from the start. It is by choice to become great.

JIEcEP General Assembly and Acquaintance Party 2011
The Junior Institute of Electronics Engineering of the Philippines (JIEcEP) held its annual general assembly and acquaintance party last July 16 at D. Yasay beach resort, Opol, Misamis Oriental. This event aimed to welcome the freshmen as new members of the organization and to reinforce rapports among old members as well. The program started at nine in the morning with Daphne Peralta and Charmaine Rafols as masters of the ceremony. Engr. Lloyd John B. Estampa, the EcE chairman, led the oath-taking for the class representatives and the introduction of the new set of officers. He also gave an inspiring message beforehand. The event was made more exciting as a number of students per section showcased their different talents. It was then followed by a spiritual talk by Pastor Jun. The 4th year EcE students, who are traditionally assigned as food committee, prepared a variety of food that was served in an orderly manner. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food that almost all students even made a round trip. After which, Engr. Joseph Anthony Gamil delivered his inspiring speech that motivated the students. The second part of the program consisted of the different games such as Pinoy Henyo, Message Relay and Amazing Race. All were played by 1st year to 3rd year students. In totality, the JIEcEP general assembly and acquaintance party was a success. This was made possible through the relentless effort of the JIEcEP officers and organizers.

FEATURE CHEATERS JITTERS

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
In obvious discomfort, drops of sweat are rolling down your uneasy face. Your eyes, with a look that pictures as if you're just a step between life and death are trying to sneak a glimpse in your dearest friends. Your hands tremble, showing the increasing tension building up within you. Your mind so confused on what you must do, as to, would you, or would you not, CHEAT! That was how difficult cheating was years ago. Your sinister and rightful selves battling before your conscience could come to a verdict on whether you would or would not resort into cheating. Cheating was then defined as the breaking of rules to gain advantage in a competitive situation. Among these situations, the ones done for academic advantage are the most rampant (right students?). And if caught exercising such filthy tricks on exams or any academic requirement, could get your body buried halfway down your grave. But alas! As time progresses, the nature of cheating has found its way to ride on the wheels of evolution. Cheating which is even older than exams has found its way to upgrade itself. From being a mere trick, it is now the secret weapon not just to those who barely proceed to the next level but also to those who were looked up by the latter. Now let me dig up the behind the scenes of the gross evolution unrecorded and unnoticed in history. Though many students cheat, that does not make cheating any good. Due to desperation, however, others think the other way around. With their popularized linesila man gani, a lot are encouraged to follow this trend. But guys and friends its not just the studentry who had reacclaimed the meaning of cheating. Some mentors themselves tell their students,okay raman mag cheat, ayaw lang mu pasapon, followed by a serious look that assures you they are not kidding. Yes, they are drop dead serious! Others, without their knowing, even give golden opportunities to their students. They sometimes exit the room during exams. And when the proctor is out, the students party! Of course, the opportunity has presented itself, why not grab it? Right?

For GOD has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

With the acquired more public consideration, cheating today does not sound as grave of an offense as it did during that forgotten years ago. Today, it appears to be a means of survival, a skill possessed by some to be able to take advantage over the other. Cheating now is a technique done by many to pass their course, wear a black toga and present Nowadays, the greatest advice a senior could give to his underclassmen is: their parents: a priceless diploma. you're not a student if you havent committed With this status quo, cases of cheating even once. What the hell? Does this imply that cheating has now been an academic cheating have grown to be more rampant requirement? That makes it no different to the and more serious. It may not be an offense ever life-pestering exams: only that, cheating to those whom you cheated, but it remains makes exams less pestering. And because of and will remain an offense against learning this public yet unrightful mentality cheaters today get jitters no more. They do not fear being and against God. Cheaters must not be associated with this act. The once a-must- considered. They must remain in the bed never-do-daring-stunt now appears normal to them. They even perform this delicate exhibition even in the very front of their instructors. That makes me wonder how much more are those in the dark corners of the classroom doing?

OPINION
STAND UP AND DONT GIVE UP. Failures cannot be avoided during the span of your BS EcE endeavor. The moment this happens to a student is considered as one of the most painful events in the students life. These moments may be painful but they are all part of your learning process. Always think positive. REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE HERE TO LEARN AND NOT SIMPLY TO PASS. Whats the use of passing if you yourself know that you havent gain any substantial knowledge from the subject you just passed? Ironic isnt it? Thats why you have to see it as a wake-up call. Consider it as a helpful mechanism to challenge yourself so that you will be more eager to give your best and learn what should be there to learn. You may pass all the subjects in your undergrad curriculum but hurdling the Board Exam without sufficient background and knowledge is too ambitious. So STAND UP and keep the faith. YOU ARE AN ELECTRONICS ENGINEER IN THE MAKING!

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

CHECK YOUR VALUES. At the bottom line for all of these, the most important things to consider are your values. At the end of the day, the ideal question to answer is not WHAT DID YOU ACHIEVED? but HOW DID YOU ACHIEVED IT? Honesty is still the best policy. Always be humble and dont forget to pray to God always. Never underestimate the power of a simple yet fervent prayer. Empowered by diligence and fortitude, anything is achievable. You can always do it if you believe you can do it! To surpass this endeavor of yours to become an Electronics Engineer someday, you have to develop the E-C-E plan. E stands for ENTHUSIASM. C stands for COMMITMENT AND COURAGE. And the other E stands for EXCELLENCE. That means that you have start everything with enthusiasm. As long as there is enthusiasm, positive thinking and right attitude follows. We all gear up for excellence but the only way to reach it is to fuel ourselves with commitment to our studies and courage to face our doubts and failures. Commitment and courage bridge the gap between enthusiasm and excellence.

WAVES OF THE FUTURE

BE INSPIRED

Hear it from the Chairman!

If God is for us, who can ever be against us?

Its 2035. You have a job, spouse, kids and guess what? Its totally techno world full of amazing possibilities. Step into the future life and check out some cool things you might see there. The kitchen is you personal shopper. All food packaging contains a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag, a tiny electronic version of a bar code. Your kitchen reads RFIDs, so it knows whether the milk is about to go sour and when you ate the last cookie. It automatically adds them to your grocery lists and even e-shops to have your favorite foods delivered. Change your outfit without undressing! Interactive smart clothes made of smart materials and RDIDs, change color, texture, pattern, and even smell. Tired of stripes? Turn your pants plaid. Have your shirts change patterns to match the beat of the music youre listening to. Going hiking? Wear jackets that repel insects. Clothes can stretch, shrink, translate languages, play music, pay bills, find your keys, give you a massage and even read your email aloud. Need a little advice on what you wear? The smart mirror in your bathroom can help you. It will select a shirt in your closet thatll match the pants youve chosen and suggest the best clothes for the weather. A display in the mirror lets you read your email, watch TV, or check your schedule as you finish getting ready.

Many were called but few are chosen

The very moment you have been admitted as a BS EcE student in Mindanao University of Science and Technology, you are already considered as one of the promising individuals who would likely become an Electronics Engineer someday. True to our Alma Maters name and prestige, you have been gladly accepted as a member of the EcE family. For thatCongratulations!!! It feels so good and pride is inevitable as you acquire this status. Now you can harness your potential engineering-based skills, gain knowledge, build up confidence, maximize your interests and gradually materialize your dream of becoming an Electronics Engineer in the future. As a student who wants to be an engineer, you have to remember some reminders. Here are some thoughts to ponder: YOU ARE HERE TO STUDY. Whatever you do or how you personalize or organize your everyday life is up to you. But always remember the saying that you reap what you sow. So dont expect to get high grades if you have a poor study habit. To study is your number one duty and your top priority as of today, so maximize it and always give your best. Press on! Rewards are given to those who are worthy of them. ENGINEERING IS A LIFESTYLE. Engineering is not for the intelligent ones but for those individuals that have strong wills and toughness. A genius may have the upper hand but on the contrary, the one who exerts more effort towards learning is superior. The lifestyle of not giving up and always moving forward are the key elements of engineering. An engineering student has a deep hunger for answers. He/She dont quit until he/she satisfies all his/her queries within himself/ herself and is skeptical in terms of how an answer is derived. BE MATURE. Maturity is liking the things you do and not doing the things you like . Lets face the reality ----- all those good days way back in highschool and elementary were long gone. You are now in your college life and is currently molding your future based greatly on how you are performing with your studies. Your grades describe youso try to make yourself attractive through them. So even though you dont like studying or you dont like a subject or your instructor because of some reasons, then your only option is to deal with it. Adapt. Adjust and do your part as a student. Dont focus on blaming things, situations, instructors or your peers. Cope with it. Remember that persons who are all talks and complaints are actually people who are simply show-off and incapable ones. Show some maturity. You may experience difficulty in coping with these factors but always look at them on the brighter side. You may experience irregularities contradicting your idealism but that is part of growing up. Your Alma Mater is doing her best to prepare you for the professional world of Electronics Engineering. What is important is that you are getting stronger as an individual ---- mentally and emotionally. That is maturity.

"If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."

Reducing or eliminating the red-eye effect that sometimes happens when a flash is used. You can also do creative, silly or wacky things. For example, if your cousin cannot make it to the family reunion, you can use photo-editing software to pluck his likeness from one picture and add him to a group portrait. You could even put Pres. Nonoy Aquinos photo in a 500peso bill in replace to his father Ninoy.

WAYS TO USE A SATELLITE

Psst! Want it on a secret? Spaceships control our world! Well, not exactly. But much of the technology you use-TVs, telephones, email-relies on tons of satellites whizzing around the Earth. Heres a look at five ways you use satellites.
1.Television If you watch TV, then youve used satellite. Broadcast stations send images from Earth up to satellites as radio waves. The satellite bounces those signals, which can also travel straight, back down to a satellite dish at a point on Earth closer to your house. Satellite transmission works short of like shot in a game of pool table at an angle that sinks it into the right packet. 2.Weather News flash! A severe thunderstorm with dangerous lightning is approaching in your town. How do forecasters know whats coming so they can warn the public? They use satellites equipped with cameras and infrared sensors to watch clouds. Computers use constantly changing satellite images to track the storm.

COOLEST INVENTIONS OF TODAY

DIGITAL PEN
A digital pen is one of the new electronic inventions that can help us record information. Despite the digital age, we still use pens. But it would be great to have our handwritten notes and drawings digitally recorded without having to use a scanner. The Zpen from Dane-Elec is a wireless pen that uses a clip-on receiver to digitally record what you write. It uploads the information to your computer where it can be viewed, edited and filed as a word processing document. The digital pen utilizes character recognition software and works by recording movement. Features include profile creation, a dictionary and fifteen language options.

INSTANT PRINTS
Creating instant prints from a digital camera is one of the new electronic inventions in printing. The Polaroid PoGo is a small portable printer that weighs only a few ounces. The printer produces full color 2" x 3" prints using an "inkless" technology. The images are created from heat activated crystals in the photo paper. The photos are water proof, tear proof and smear proof. This new electronic invention connects to a digital camera using a USB cable, or to a mobile phone through wireless Bluetooth. It uses rechargeable batteries or an AC adapter.

3.Telephone As you talk back and forth with a relative overseas on a landline, you might experience a delay of a quarter second-the time it takes for your voices to be relayed by a satellite bounce. 4.Email Satellite also bridge long distances over the internet by transmitting emails. Communication satellites for phones and the internet use a geostationary orbit. That means that a satellites speed matches Earths rotation exactly keeping the satellite in the same spot above Earth. 5.GPS Driving you to a party at a friends house your dad turns down the wrong street. Youre lost. No problem if the car has a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. GPS is a network of satellites. The receiver collects information from the satellites and plots its distance from at least three of them. It can show where you are in a digital map. Thanks to satellites, you will make it to the party on time.

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Every blank square can only contain a number from 1 to 9.

You have a collection of across and down, upper and lower triangles respectively, clues that tell you what the answers to each clue add up to. A number cannot appear twice in any combination for a clue. For example, a clue of 11 for two squares could be 2 + 9, 3 + 8, 4 + 7 or 5 + 6 (in some order). However, in a clue of 8 for two squares could not be 4 + 4. Sample puzzle with solution:

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

POWERMAT CHARGER
The Powermat is a wireless charger for hi tech gadgets. You simply place your gadget on the mat to charge it. It uses magnetic induction energy rather than electricity to charge devices and it works just as fast or faster than standard power adaptors. It can also charge multiple and different gadgets all at the same time.

TRANSPARENT ELECTRONICS
Inventors, Jung Won Seo, Jae-Woo Park, Keong Su Lim, Ji-Hwan Yang and Sang Jung Kang, who are scientists at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, have created the world's first transparent computer chip.
The chip, known as (TRRAM) or transparent resistive random access memory, is similar to existing chips known as (CMOS) or metal-oxide semiconductor memory, which we use in new electronic inventions. The difference is that TRRAM is completely clear and transparent. What is the benefit of having transparency? "It is a new milestone of transparent electronic systems," says Jung Won Seo. "By integrating TRRAM with other transparent electronic components, we can create a total see-through embedded electronic systems." The technology could enable the windows or mirrors in your home to be used as computer monitors and television screens. This technology is expected to be available within 3 to 4 years.
