Cavite State University - Carmona Campus, in collaboration with the Software-Hardware Integration Engineering Leaders and Developers (SHIELD) Society, successfully conducted the webinar titled “PowerED: Exploring the Essentials of Electronic Components and Applications” via Cisco WebEx on November 27, 2025. Designed to strengthen participants’ understanding of essential electronics concepts, the online activity provided a full day of learning anchored in both theoretical knowledge and practical application.

The program began by welcoming participants into the virtual platform, followed by the Prayer, Philippine National Anthem, Cavite Hymn, and Carmona Hymn presented through an audio-visual presentation (AVP). In his welcome remarks, Mr. Jhumel C. Ignas, project leader of TO-SERVE and department extension coordinator, emphasized the importance of equipping individuals and communities with basic technical skills that can support education, livelihood, and innovation. He highlighted that PowerED aims to make electronics more approachable and meaningful, especially for aspiring learners and future community partners.

Throughout the webinar, Engr. Precious Donita Roallos, faculty extensionist, led participants through a series of interconnected topics that built a strong foundation in electronics. She began by discussing essential electricity principles, enabling attendees to understand how electrical energy behaves in everyday systems. This was followed by a clear introduction to basic electronic components—such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors—and their roles in creating functional circuits. She further guided learners in reading and interpreting simple circuit diagrams, helping them visualize how components work together.

After a short health break, the session transitioned into a more interactive segment through a virtual demonstration of circuit assembly using TinkerCAD. Participants were able to observe how circuits operate in a safe, simulation-based environment. The succeeding discussions continued with lessons on tools and measurement basics, which covered the proper use of multimeters and common electronics tools, as well as simple troubleshooting techniques essential for identifying and fixing circuit issues.

The webinar also featured a Community Application Talk delivered by Engr. Jorilyn Paculdo, a BSCpE alumna, who shared practical insights on how electronics knowledge can be applied meaningfully in various community settings. She encouraged participants to view their technical skills as opportunities to contribute to problem-solving and innovation at the grassroots level. An engaging open forum and Q&A session allowed attendees to seek clarification, share experiences, and deepen their understanding of the topics discussed.

To formally recognize the efforts of the speakers, the awarding of certificates was held shortly after the open forum. Dr. Jonell V. Ocampo, project staff of TO-SERVE, delivered the closing remarks, expressing his appreciation for the collaborative work behind the webinar and reaffirming the department’s commitment to providing relevant and accessible technical education initiatives.

The program concluded with the CvSU Hymn, presented through an AVP, marking the end of a productive day of learning and community-focused engagement. Through PowerED, CvSU Carmona continues to create avenues for knowledge-sharing that empower participants with skills they can carry forward into their academic, professional, and community endeavors.
