Introduction

The main objective of URS2019 is to provide a venue for undergraduate students from public, and private academic institutions from all over Eastern Visayas to present their completed undergraduate research projects and accomplishments. This year's URS will have two categories, namely: oral, and poster presentation. Prospective authors are invited to submit abstracts of their undergraduate research completed within the academic year 2018-2019 via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=urs2019). All submissions to the symposium will be reviewed by at least two independent peers from the respective topic clusters for technical merit and content.
