4. Establish strong linkages and collaborative researches
with the government agencies and other research
institutions.
To establish strong linkages with government and other institutions,
various extension or community projects and activities were
conducted by the ECE Department participated by both faculty and
students, among others are the following:
(Table)
The Electronics Engineering Department through its On-the-Job Training
Program extended community service by increasing the required 250 training
hours to 260 training hours, 10 hours of which is rendered as extension work to
cooperating agencies and linkages. This will further enhance the commitment
between the university and the agencies.

3. SYSTEMATIC AND EFFECTIVE PROCEDURES

1. Privileges and Incentives for Researchers (excerpts from
BSU Research Manual)
To motivate researchers in the University, there are categories of privileges and
incentives provided namely:
1. Credit for Academic Ranking (p.25, BSU Research Manual)
Researchers may claim credit, particularly for the purpose of determining
academic rank, for their research outputs subject to the criteria of the accrediting
body concerned.
2. Financial Incentives (p.25, BSU Research Manual) Researchers who
publish their researches in national and international refereed or non-refereed
journals are entitled to financial incentives as follows:
(table)
Financial incentives for researchers who will present their completed
researches in the institutional in-house review are the following:

Annual Local In-house Review of Completed Researches and
Projects

The College of Engineering Research and Development Center annually
organizes local in-house review to evaluate the research outputs of each
department in the college. A panel of evaluators from the university research
council are invited to assess each research presentation and to select the Best
Research Paper and Best Presentor. The best research paper will receive a cash
prize and will represent the College of Engineering on the institutional in-house
review. All presented papers will be published on the COE Journal of Research.

Financial incentives for researchers who will present their completed researches
in the institutional in-house review are the following:

5. PROVI SI ON OF MATERI ALS AND OTHER
RESOURCES

(Table)
Listed below are the complete list of facilities, equipment, ICT and other
resources that are made available to all faculty members conducting researches.
There are two offices that the researchers can utilize in doing research works:
the RDC Office and the College of Engineering Research and Extension Office.
The participation of ECE faculty is manifested in their ardent commitment to
provide for research works which are geared to the cultivation and enhancement
of their productive capacity. Utilization of every research outcome remains to be
their prime objective to help the community and provide for advancement in any
defined field of endeavor.
6. PARTICIPATION OF SIGNIFICANT NUMBER
OF FACULTY/STAFF/STUDENTS/COMMUNITY IN
MAJOR PROJECTS/ACTIVITIES
Some of the accomplished researches of .ECE faculty are listed
below:
(Table)
Another proof of the active participation of the faculty is evident in
their effort for the effective dissemination of the product and
outcome of their research through any publication, journals,
competitions, in-house reviews, and the like. These activities are
being rendered so that more will be reached by projected benefits of
the research, thus maximizing the purpose for which the research had
been done.
We have enumerated below the faculty researches which have been
successfully published in different research journals for local and
international circulation as well:
(Table)
Exhibit and Paper presentation also serve as an effective avenue to
research dissemination process. These provide for us the opportunity
to solicit the response of the possible direct consumers and
beneficiaries of the research thus giving us most significant inputs
and recommendations for further evaluation, and enhancement of the
material.

The following are some of the activities our faculty has participated
to give support to improvement and utilization of our researches:
(Table)
Due recognition is always vested to all research accomplishment with defined
purpose and contribution to community and human race as well. Awards and
Distinction motivate people to serve more. And serving more means
consolidating the best of our efforts and resources for a better research outcome.

The BSU Research Manual provides for the systematic and effective procedures
(pp. 25) and guidelines on the administration of various incentives, grants,
awards, and privileges to all deserving research material and research presenter
as well. Among the grants mentioned therein are credits for academic ranking
and financial incentives for researchers who publish their researches in national
and international refereed or non-refereed journals.

Though all of these grants and recognition may boost individual esteem and
competence, and financial capacities, nothing can be compared to the benefit of
knowing that one has contributed something essential to this world. It is the
greatest prize one can get from research.
