POWERING THE FUTURE: Seminar Highlights
On July 27, 2026, future and current electrical engineers gathered for an enlightening seminar centered on "Power Plant Fundamentals and Its Optimization."
The event officially kicked off with opening remarks from our IIEE Co-Adviser, Engr. Ericson L. Visaya, followed by a solemn Audio-Visual Presentation for the Invocation, Lupang Hinirang, and the IIEE Hymn.
The highlight of the event was an inspiring and deep-dive session with our distinguished resource speaker, Engr. Jerson Maglunob.
As a Senior Engineer for Digital Transformation, Smart Power Plants, Optimization, and Outage Planning at the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) in the UAE, Engr. Maglunob shared invaluable insights on modernizing power generation through smart technologies.
Beyond his impressive professional credentials—including being named one of The Filipino Times Watchlist Top Filipino Engineers and Architects in the Middle East and serving as the 2026 Chapter President of IIEE-UAE—he showed us the true heart of an engineer through his humanitarian work, such as the Oplan Dagitab Bigay Liwanag project bringing solar power to remote indigenous communities.
A huge thank you to Engr. Maglunob for sharing his expertise, leadership, and passion for sustainable energy engineering with us!
