Industrial Engineering Week 2010

Work smart, not hard.

Every year, we hold the Industrial Engineering Week. And it’s always on a February. This year, we had it last February 25-27, 2010. Yeah, it’s just 3 days (2.5, technically), but we already got used to calling it the IE Week.

February 24 – Put Up

From 8am to 5pm that day, we were all sweating out during the putting up of our booths for the Market Expo. Though we weren’t really the ones who built them as we had some carpenters to do it, still, we exerted effort in beautifying our booths.

At the end of the day, we were joyed at what we have done.

February 25 – Opening

We had a mass first thing in the morning at the USC-TC church. We then proceeded to the lobby of the Bunzel building (Engineering building) for the opening program. There were the opening remarks by Mrs. Dakay, the inspirational speech by Mr. Galindo, an intermission (games participated by 4th year students), and the ribbon cutting by Mr. Embalzado and the IE Council President (yours truly).

Then we had the ever-present vanity sessions! All we did after that was man our booths and get some free taste of the products from the other booths!

February 26 – Visitors

There was actually a College Faculty Assembly that day, so there weren’t too many Carolinians present at that time since there were no classes. We ruled the lobby! We were roaming around, looking for fun when it got boring in our own booths. In the afternoon, we had visitors from the outside — 4th year high school students from the Mandaue City Science High School and 4th year Industrial Engineering students from the University of Cebu Lapu-lapu and Mandaue. The UCLM IE students conducted some interview, and we answered their questions accordingly. We had them taste our products after that.

February 27 – Closing

Everybody was in costume or business attire for the judging of booths/businesses. Guests were there to conduct the final interview. After everything was the closing remarks of our adviser, and we had the final pictorial.

We then started cleaning up the place by taking down our booths.

After all the struggles we underwent just to make this event successful, it’s finally over. And I know all our efforts paid off! The constant headaches, the almost-sleepless nights, the last-minute decisions — everything, though not really wanted, was worth it. It wouldn’t have been the Market Expo that it was if it weren’t for the silly times — jumping here and there, having ice cream for lunch, witnessing a live drama (ssshhh!), stealing visits to other booths just to get a free taste of their products, hurriedly running back to our respective booths when we thought the powerful one was coming (hahaha!), etc… Hilarious!

By the way, it’s already the third year of the Market Expo, and I hope that next year’s activity will be as cool and funny as ever! Hahaha.
