THE CENTER FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS DESIGN (CICD)
THE CENTER FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS DESIGN (CICD)
To improve the Philippine semiconductor and IC design sector, the Department of Electronics Engineering spearheaded an initiative to expand microelectronics education by exchanging IC design EDA tools and offering workshops and training. This project's main objective is to keep creating a training course or module for academic staff from different universities in the Visayas Mindanao area. This ongoing program, called "train the trainers," intends to improve microelectronics education in the Philippines. Each faculty member will get the skills necessary to better develop, instruct, and improve their electronics and IC design courses thanks to the training. As a result, the Philippines' IC design community will flourish, the talent pipeline will widen, and more graduates with IC design expertise will be produced.

ADOPTION OF MEDICAL MAKERSPACE TECHNOLOGIES IN HEALTHCARE
ADOPTION OF MEDICAL MAKERSPACE TECHNOLOGIES IN HEALTHCARE
MSU-IIT has launched an extension project focused on adopting medical makerspace technologies in healthcare. This initiative, led by Assoc. Prof. Lemuel Clark Velasco from the Department of Information Technology, seeks to enhance the uptake of innovative medical makerspace technologies such as virtual surgical planning software and additive manufacturing among healthcare professionals.
In addition to offering training programs for medical community collaborators, the project will also engage Asst. Prof. Angelito Britos and Instr. Lowell Pamatong from the Department of Physics to help plan and implement technology apprenticeship and shared service facility programs for medical makerspaces in healthcare institutions.
In a pioneering effort to transform medical education and surgical techniques, the College of Computer Studies (CCS) Extension Program and the CCS-Executive Council (EC) recently conducted the AthenaMD Virtual Surgical Planning Technologies for Mandibular Reconstruction Training Program. This program took place at the CCS Faculty Lounge from March 4 to 22, 2024, where participants were introduced to cutting-edge virtual surgical planning (VSP) technologies and their role in mandibular reconstruction.
Participants engaged in practical training sessions, using the AthenaMD website to thoroughly explore VSP technologies. With expert assistance, attendees familiarised themselves with the complexities of VSP software like 3D Slicer and MeshMixer, vital tools for crafting digital representations of human anatomy.
