The T.I.P. Inhinyera Club student officers are made up of highly qualified students and academic achievers coming from the different engineering programs of T.I.P. They are headed by a unified Inhinyera President for T.I.P. Manila and T.I.P. QC, Jessica Pabillore, a 5th year BS Mechanical Engineering student from T.I.P. Quezon City (1st photo, 6th from left), together with Vice Presidents, Inna Victoria Puno, a 5th year BS Electronics Engineering student from T.I.P. Manila (2nd photo, 3rd from left), and Pauline Nicole Bernadette Luna, a 3rd year BS Electrical Engineering student from T.I.P. QC (1st photo, 1st from left).

The Inhinyera Club is governed by a board made up of T.I.P. officers who are also women engineers. They are led by Vice President for Strategic Initiatives and Chairperson of Gender Development and Inhinyera (GADI), Dr. Rosalinda Valdepeñas (Civil Engineer), with GADI Co-Chairpersons, Dr. Jesusa Padilla (Electronics Engineer), Dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture of T.I.P. QC, and Engr. Marianne Yumul (Electrical Engineer), Chairperson of the Electrical Engineering Program of T.I.P. Manila.

During the launch, T.I.P. President, Dr. Elizabeth Quirino-Lahoz, who served as induction officer and keynote speaker, impressed on her belief that T.I.P. Inhinyeras – equipped with their academic and total student development preparation at T.I.P., and their grit and determination – like men, can actually excel in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). “Put your sterling qualities as Inhinyeras to good use and realize your Inhinyera advocacy, your vision, mission and goals, and fly,” advised Dr. Lahoz.

Before the end of her message, the president proposed three projects that could help give the Inhinyera Club a headstart towards realizing its advocacy. These were: a tracer study on successful T.I.P. Inhinyeras, a special training in Root-cause Analysis such as Fish-bone Analysis or Ishikawa Diagram, and a research on how millennials learn.

The launch was concluded with an inspirational message from the Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Cynthia Llanes and an inaugural message from the Inhinyera Club President, Jessica Pabillore.
