GLOBAL CHALLENGES’
The 10th IIEE Visayas Regional Conference
Theme Overview
-----------------------------------------------------
We had once a beautiful Earth - unique in the heavens, a wonderment solitary in the universe.In the past, there were global crises – somehow the world survived. Today, not only have the oil prices soared to unprecedented heights but more seriously, the global economic meltdown. Now we are into resurging uncertainties… we need to sail again through an uncharted limbo! Sooner or later, we have to pay the bitter price.
Depleting natural resources, denuded forests, unabated CO2 emissions, pollutions of any sort, atmospheric denigration, ecological imbalance; all these sum up into scarcier food, dirtier air to breathe, the emergence of new mutant plagues and to top it all, Global Warming. With the global financial structure down to its knees, all these are just few of the Global Challenges --- the price we have to pay.
ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE AMIDST GLOBAL CHALLENGES
The world is sick and we need to do something about it. Although the INSTITUTE OF INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS OF THE PHILIPPINES (IIEE) can only do little in addressing these challenges, lest it is our compulsion to actively participate and contribute in mitigating the consequences of these crises - in effect, delaying the demise of the very life solely known in the cosmos. As an organization, we can position ourselves in several advocacies, foremost of them are as follows:
a) Efficiency in Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Utilization of Energy,
b) The Shift to Renewable & Clean Forms of Energy Sources;
c) Quick Adaptation & Application of Technology Changes;
d) The Drive to Mold Competent & Global Electrical Engineering Workforce.
But note that achieving excellence amidst these challenges starts from the hearts & minds of the organization’s members. IIEE-Region 7 believes that if & when the competencies embedded within the electrical engineer are made global; it would result to great wonders in terms of achieving the first three goals cited above.
As it has always been IIEE’s drive to provide avenues for its members’ growth, its desired objectives include strong but modern competencies & skills, innovativeness & creativity, quick adaptation to new technologies, ability to communicate, competence in management & human relations, and the never-ending desire for continuing professional development.
That is the essence of the 10th IIEE Region 7 Conference which will be held on August 27 - 29 at the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC), Mandaue City.
It is in this backdrop that we welcome all the delegates, participants, guests, supporters & sponsors to the 10th IIEE Visayas Regional Conference.
