and a booming tourism sector now more
than ever the region's academic
institutions are faced with adapting to
the challenges of an ever-increasing
pace of development while preparing a
future labor force equipped for the
fourth Industrial Revolution the
industries of the future are
interconnected borderless unbound by the
limits of human labor and manufacturing
smart and ultimately disruptive with
this milieu the pioneers of cebu
technological universities industries
4.0 program are forging a path guided by
the university's mission and mandate to
be the region's premier technological
university a journey paved with many
little early successes here are their
stories
I could say that this facility they felt
love and fic which are shared service
facilities of DTI with the leadership of
course of our university president is a
success story a big part which is
relevant in industry 4.0 our graduates
are at edge our engineering students who
are now at present having their on the
job training in industries are readily
hired by the industry because they
already have these skills they know how
to run or operate these equipments are
relevant in the modern technology
[Music]
our students in the graduate school
looked into community expansion projects
as part of their assignment in a
community expansion they found out one
activity like a blonde as a livelihood a
project that is worth emulating by other
countries and other institutions other
universities would like to make a
difference in the communities that they
are serving so we don't just do
instruction inside the university we go
to the communities and this is I think
one great achievement for the university
not just for the Argyll campus but for
the entire university
so to be able to intervene with this
kind of dilemma we did product
development we did not only improve the
process of huh blonde
so we innovated mechanize some of the
parts of the Loom to decrease the
production time therefore to provide our
Weaver's with more time to actually
weave because of the rise in the
increase in demand of hand woven fabric
we can also provide a more reverse with
sustainable source of livelihood so
there earn much more than what they have
earned in weaving our president our
administration is very supportive of
this community extension for
the university researchers are involved
in the policy-making process such as the
policy on food safety this is a guide
for good manufacturing practices
implementation CityU leads in providing
more knowledge and technology creations
policies and problems through partner
collaborations with industry and people
in power we are very proud of this this
is state of the art with good facilities
and enough budget for us to do quality
research we the trust and programs of
our president we are actually gearing
towards the realization of industry 4.0
in civil technological university every
institution have their own data of their
own information but with industry 4.0
there will be connectivity and all of
those data so we could be able to share
what to healthcare to other agencies in
other countries
city you received various awards and
recognitions from prestigious
universities and organizations the top
utility model filed and the top
registered utility model from 2009 to
2015 we have already produced more than
10 utility models and we have already
applied for more than 28 ility models
for the innovation products what we have
done in the center and we also were able
to publish articles and accredited
journals for ASI and Chad which is very
crucial in a university status
[Music]
I want our research here at the college
to be published and cited in
international journals and for extension
I want our research findings actually to
which the farmers the discovery of
and we do actually have into more
pathogenic nematodes here in Cebu and
that they have very good potentials
especially in controlling insect pests
the common pests attacking the vegetable
I'm also proud that many of the farmers
actually here in Cebu and in the region
region seven for that matter is also
been exposed to this and hopefully they
are now currently using the technology
[Music]
this nicer or the mid centers for R&D in
the region is funded by the Department
of Science and Technology grant-in-aid
program the objective of this project is
to assess the flora and fauna
[Music]
Alysia part Venus ammunition ammo he
informed community of the urgency and
the need and our responsibility as
people like in Chanukah address with on
climate change
and you know the direction of the
university is to convert the university
to do research innovation smart

sebou technological university is voiced
to lead away as a premier technological
university in the Philippines south
