Iyan ang mga naglalaban sa finals ng Inter-School ECE Quiz Contest,- including SLU of Baguio. Mayroon pa ba nito?


Oooppsss.... kilala ko iyan....

Oh yes. SLU was also a well-known school then. Supported by Texas Instruments. Malayo kasi, so hindi ko na mentioned.

BTW, if you really want to look at percentages, the November exams should be a better measure than the March/April exams.

Most of the fresh grads na hindi Octoberians take the November exams. Diyan din ang most number of examinees.

org po namin ang naghohold sa isa sa mga intercollegiate electrical and electronics engineering quiz show. sa mga finalist po, magaling po talaga ang SLU at USC.

ang isa pang gauge kung magaling ung ECE school ay pagtingin kung ano na ang na-icontribute nila sa research and development ng ECE sa pinas. sa National ECE conference, makikita mo ang galing ng mga students sa research ng iba't-ibang schools.


plugging lang po :D
kung hahanap po kayo ng school sa ECE, check nyo rin po ang laboratory facilities nila. sa UP po, we have different research laboratories. check nyo na lang po dito sa site namin ->

Duh... it's something most of us working in the University sector know already.

The smaller number of students you teach, the higher the quality you can maintain. UP has an artificial limit on some courses... a 90% passing rate isn't hard if you only have one section in the course graduating at any given time.

And of course, there's the part where UP's prestige ensures that they can get the cream of the crop of graduating students from across the country.

Also, a good way to artificially inflate board passing rates is to have a horribly restrictive "pruning" of students at some point. At the height of the PT craze, some schools whittled down students from 2000+ in second year down to about 300 in third year through "achievement" exams... good way to boost boards, definitely.

A prestigious school will take a first-class student and make them pass the board... but a good school can take a third-string student and make them pass the board. And therein lies the difference.

just want to share... kaya nga di ba kapag lumabas ang result ng boards usually per category depending on the number of students who took the board exam in a particular school... it only means that you cannot really compare a school with a higher number of students who took the exam with that of a school with a lower number of students who took the same exam... pero sabi nga ni otep, ang importante eh isa ka sa mga mapapalad na nakasama sa mga pumasa...

terrible disservice to mapuans. with that kind of logic, mag abogado na lang siya.

point well told.

stumbled upon this in one of the forums in the net.

people there were arguing on the best ECE school.

this post tops it all. wanna share it with you.

but first of all, i dont mean to degrade any of the schools mentioned here.

and second, i apologize in advance to those who will be offended.

peace! :D

Alam nyo mga UP bois, mukang hindi ata talaga kayong marunong mag-isip no!!???

If according to board exam result “statistics”, kung 50% ba ang passing percentage namin, tapos kayo eh mga nasa 96%, ibig bang sabihin nun na masmagagaling na kayo!!!???

Ang 50% passing percentage with almost 300 examinees ay hindi nakakahiya kung ikukumpara sa 96% passing percentage with a shameful of 25 examinees ONLY!!!

Why??? It is simply because that 50% of 300 is greater than 96% of 25… Siguro naman naniniwala kayo dun no!!???...

And one more thing, mga UP bois, alam nyo ba na kung lalaliman nyo lang ang pag-iisip nyo, “makikita nyo na masmataas ang passing percentage namin kaysa sa inyo???”….

Hindi nyo magets kung bakit no??? Tsk tsk tsk… Okay ganito kasi yun…

Para ikumpara nating mabuti ang performance ng Mapua at UP, siguro dapat eh gawin nating “equal” ang number of examinees ng dalawang eskwelahan…

Ipapakita ko sa inyo na “Mapua has a higher passing percentage than UP”….

I have 2 cases to explain this:

This is the first case…

For example, let’s hold the 25 examinees of UP, then let’s decrease the number of examinees of Mapua from 300 down to 25 examinees to make it equal with UP’s… The question is “sino sa dalawang eskwelahan ngayon ang masmataas ang passing percentage???”….

According to the board exam result “statistics”, out of 25 examinees, UP can pass 24 examinees, so there passing percentage is 96%…… However, in the case of Mapua, since 150 examinees ang kaya nitong ipasa, that means na kayang-kaya nitong ipasa ang 25 examinees only, so their passing percentage is 100%….

CONCLUSION in 1st case: If both schools have 25 total examinees, and UP has 96% passing percentage and Mapua has 100%, then Mapua wins!!!

Eto naman ang 2nd case:

Kung yung 300 examinees ng Mapua naman ang ihohold natin, at yung number of examinees naman ng UP ang gagawin nating 300 to make it equal with Mapua’s, “sino na ngayon ang masmataas ang passing percentage???”

According to the board exam result “statistics”, out of 300 examinees of Mapua, there were 150 passers, so Mapua’s passing percentage is 50%..... In the case of UP, since out of 25 examinees, 24 passed the board exam, there is one examinee who didn’t pass the exam. So this means that increasing further their number of examinees above 25 will only result into a shameful passing percentage!!!….. THIS IS ALREADY THEIR LIMIT!!!!....... This means that kung gagayahin nila ang 300 examinees ng Mapua, at 24 passers lang ang kaya nila, then ang passing percentage nila ngayon ay isang kahiya-hiyang 8%!!!!!!

CONCLUSION in 2nd case: If both schools have 300 total examinees, and UP has 8% passing percentage and Mapua has 50%, then Mapua wins!!!


OVERALL CONCLUSION: If Mapua wins in both cases, then we can say that Mapua has a HIGHER passing percentage than UP!!!


So ano na ngayon ang masasabi nyo mga UP???... Ano na ngayon ang depensa nyo ha!!???.... Kung may sasabihin kayo, sana naman wag puro REACTIONS!!! Napapansin ko kasi sa mga posts nyo eh halos lahat ay reactions lang pero walang explanations!!!..... Matuto naman kayong mangatwiran ha!! Wag puro REACTIONS!!! We want the logic!!!

new way of interpreting percentages!

Hehehe, kakatawa naman itong interpretation mo. joke time ba ito?

im also a graduate of ece pero hindi mapua and up pero para sa akin nasa estudyante na yan wala sa school. baka mabatukan ka ng prof mo sa interpretation mo.

[brando_bragadon]

so meaning nyan.. 25lang nakagraduate sa UP, pero as as mapuan yung naka graduate eh.. 300, so sa makakabasa nitong reply na to, who do you think is the best??? is it the 25 who graduated UP??? or is 300 that graduate mapua??? decide guys...

[brando_bragadon]

Ang bobo naman sa Math ng gumawa ng calculation na yan. Kawawang mga magulang, napunta sa wala ang binayad sa matrikula. hehehe.


Mapua (at least the present one) will never beat UP because it's just a business entity while UP is a globally respected University.

no offense to mapuans.

no offense?? paano mo ma iisip kung sinabi ko na marami sa UP na nakaka graduate pero walang trabaho? tapos sabihin ko na no offense..

it may be true, but even though you are still offended.. please think first..

basta, hindi yan sa school, sa tao lang yan..

example: si Bill Gates, hindi manlamang nakatapos ng college pero isa sa mga successfull na tao sa mundo..
