Alumni Visit: BindTech Graduate Shares Reviewer Book for Future RMELE Takers

The BindTech Department proudly welcomed Mr. Leo Juanico, Batch 2012, during his alumni visit this week. Currently serving as an Assistant Electrician aboard an international cruise ship under Senga Shipping Lines, Mr. Juanico returned to his alma mater with a meaningful contribution for the next generation of learners.

During his visit, Mr. Juanico generously donated a comprehensive reviewer book tailored for students preparing for the Registered Master Electrician Licensure Examination (RMELE). His aim is to support aspiring electricians in strengthening their technical foundation and increasing their chances of success in the board examination.

Mr. Juanico shared that his experiences in the maritime industry and his journey from student to seafarer inspired him to give back. He hopes that the reviewer will motivate future takers, provide reliable study material, and serve as a reminder that hard work and perseverance can open doors to global opportunities.

The BindTech Department expresses its gratitude to Mr. Juanico for his continuous support and commitment to the growth of the program. His gesture serves as an inspiration for current students and a testament to the strong bond shared within the BindTech community.

BindTech–ELT Department successfully conducted its Intellectual Property (IP) Orientation, Patent Search, and Patent Draft Training-Workshop on November 18, 2025, at the NISU-VSC Hostel.

The activity gathered a total of 40 participants, composed of 28 selected third-year students as trainees, 7 fourth-year students as trainers, 4 faculty facilitators, and 1 faculty resource person, Dr. Larimar Araw-Araw.

The workshop aimed to strengthen students’ understanding of IP rights, develop competency in patent search techniques, and introduce the fundamentals of patent drafting. The selected fourth-year students, already trained in patent-related processes, served as peer trainers, ensuring a collaborative and skill-enhancing learning environment.

This activity is essential for third-year IT students who are expected to develop technologies as part of their Research 1 requirements. By equipping them with knowledge on IP protection, the institution seeks to safeguard innovative works from unauthorized use and prepare students for future technology development and commercialization.

Throughout the session, participants learned key IP concepts, identified patentable inventions, practiced prior art searches using patent databases, and drafted basic patent components including claims, abstracts, and descriptions.

The department emphasized that the initiative not only builds technical competence but also promotes a strong culture of innovation and responsible intellectual property management within the university.

The successful conduct of the activity marks another step toward enhancing NISU-VSSC’s capacity in research development, innovation, and technology protection.
