Remarkable First-Ever Hard Hatting Ceremony of CebuTech Danao Campus for Electrical and Civil Engineering Students

The College of Engineering at Cebu Technological University-Danao Campus celebrated a milestone today, June 26, 2024, with its inaugural Hard Hatting Ceremony. Held at the Kadasig Gym, this momentous event was themed "Pioneering Progress: Hard Hatting Ceremony 2024," marking a significant first for the Electrical and Civil Engineering departments. The ceremony brought together third-year students from both day and evening classes, creating a sense of unity and excitement. Proud parents and guardians accompanied the aspiring engineers as they walked the red carpet, celebrating the hard work, continual efforts, and enduring resilience of the interns of batch 2023-2024.

This hard hatting ceremony goes beyond formality; it embodies the recognition of the trainees' commitment and excellence in the engineering academe. The symbolic handing out of hard hats is not just about safety; it signifies the students' capability, commitment, and purpose to drive enthusiastically forward to their entrance into the engineering world. As the final hard hat was placed on the last student, all 112 technologists were acknowledged, recognized, and declared ready to advance to their On-The-Job Training (OJT), internships, and deployment in various areas of their specialization.

Congratulations on your hard hatting, future Engineers!

Vanguard of Truth, Originality and Integrity

In the fast-paced turn of events, to our surprise, antecedent lay-outs and recent articles of The Working Hand (TWH) have been subjected to plagiarism, with little to visible similarities without proper attribution. Whether it's blatant plagiarism or unintentional plagiarism, it is an equivalent message of irreverence to the Editorial Board and Staff. The organization would like to put an end to this culture of intellectual theft, for this eats away the trust of the creative team of the organization, and in effect, it cripples their creativity and jail creative ideas.

In light of this matter, the organization would like to outline the importance of fostering a climate of transparency and collaboration—where intellectual property is put into high regard and valued—promoting the culture of respect and collectively safeguarding the ingenious works of TWH.
