The UP Engineering Society (UP Eng’gSoc) annually conducts its flagship event, SURGE Engineering Symposium, a Department of Education (DepEd)-accredited event for senior high school students which aims to introduce engineering courses to the Filipino youth through a series of interactive talks and activities.
The UP Eng’gSoc is the first college-wide, socio-academic organization for engineering students at the University of the Philippines Diliman. Since its founding on August 26, 1996, the UP Eng’gSoc has been committed to promoting academic excellence, interdepartmental unity, and cooperation as well as nurturing learning, self-improvement, and service among its members. In line with its mission and vision, the organization organizes events that are catered to current and aspiring engineering students.
In particular, UP Eng’gSoc annually conducts its flagship event, SURGE: Engineering Symposium. This is a Department of Education (DepEd)-accredited event for senior high school students which aims to introduce engineering courses to the Filipino youth through a series of interactive talks and activities.
The purpose of the annual SURGE Engineering Symposium is to promote various engineering disciplines as an important factor in the development of a productive and progressive community and to serve as an avenue for awareness in development and engagement in the field of science, technology, and engineering. Esteemed speakers in their respective fields of expertise and experience will provide students with the necessary knowledge and information to help them further pursue their academic careers.
The SURGE Engineering Symposium is particularly crafted for local senior high school students across the nation to unveil the various studies of engineering featuring the six fields of the following: Metallurgical Engineering, Geodetic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Materials Engineering. SURGE 2023 will be held on March 03, 2023, Friday, from 8 AM to 5 PM at the UP Diliman Engineering Theater.
