PLDT and Smart offer engineering students from the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos (UNO-R) a glimpse into the future of wireless technology. Electrical, Electronics and Communication, and Computer Programming Engineering students from UNO-R explored and tried their hands on upcoming technologies at the Technolab in Makati City.
The PLDT-Smart Technolab serves as a sandbox where the PLDT Group tests new and upcoming communications and connectivity technologies and solutions that could revolutionize customer experience.
Many of these innovations have yet to be launched commercially. UNO-R has been a part of the Smart Wireless Engineering Education Program (SWEEP) since August 2003.
SWEEP is the country’s first and longest-running Philippine industry-academe linkage program, that’s been run by Smart for the past 20 years. Underscoring the value of promoting STEM education in the country, SWEEP and its initiatives to welcome students to the PLDT-Smart TechnoLab are aligned with the PLDT Group’s much broader program for inclusive, quality education, and are also aimed at helping country achieve UNSDG 9 – Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
