Through the collaboration between the Metals and Engineering Innovation Center (MEIC) of Bicol State College of Applied Sciences and Technology (BISCAST) and the Philippine Science High School – Goa Campus, a successful 3-day Training Workshop on MEIC Machine and Equipment was conducted last May 6–8, 2026 at the MEIC Facility, BISCAST.

The workshop was facilitated by the BISCAST MEIC Team led by Engr. Joselito A. Ruadil, MEIC Focal Person, together with Engr. Augusto A. Avancena, Engr. Michael S. Barcacena, Engr. Lyncel S. Celimen, faculty researchers, Engr. Mark Allen O. Estipona, and Engr. Mary Therese T. Basco- MEIC staff.

Participants included instructors from the Philippine Science High School – Goa Campus, BISCAST ManFabLab Staff, and selected BISCAST BSME and BSEE students who actively participated in the hands-on training sessions on the operation and application of MEIC machines and equipment.

On the first day, participants attended lectures and live demonstrations on machine operation, fabrication processes, and safety procedures. During the second and third day, participants designed and fabricated their own toolboxes using the MEIC machines and equipment, allowing them to apply their newly acquired skills through actual fabrication activities.

The workshop formally opened with remarks from Engr. Dominic P. Bolima and concluded with inspiring closing remarks from Dr. Charlie P. Nacario, SUC President II.

The organizers also extend their sincere gratitude to the Department of Science and Technology – Metals Industry Research and Development Center (DOST-MIRDC) and the Department of Science and Technology – Provincial Science and Technology Office Camarines Sur (DOST-PSTO Cam Sur) for their continued support in promoting innovation, technical skills development, and technology-driven learning initiatives.

This initiative reflects the shared commitment of BISCAST MEIC and PSHS – Goa Campus in strengthening technical competencies and advancing engineering and technology education through collaborative and industry-relevant training opportunities.
