In line with the Philippine Science High School Diliman Campus Guidance Office's career consultation agenda, during the end of this school year's Humanities Week festivities, several colleges and universities are invited to set up booths in the classrooms and the exhibition area in the Advanced Science and Technology Building for a University Fair, setting up from the afternoon of Thursday, September 1, and opening for all students from first to fourth year (although the efficacy of the exercise on the seniors may be minimal, considering the UPCAT would have passed a month prior) for the whole of Friday, September 2.
Considering this, it seems best to highlight, for the UP Diliman Department of Computer Science, the activities of the CompSci orgs, as they have been particularly active in activities in line with the Department's mission, and the student projects, to showcase talent and skills honed through the tutelege of the aegis of the Department. Highly interactive demo software will be best for these purposes.
In addition, it was noted that students had difficulty differentiating between Computer Science and the Computer Engineering course offered by the EEE Department. This may be addressed.
Ideally, the booth should be manned by PSHS alumni, who could best identify with the target audience, both from the students and the faculty, although this need not be the case, especially if none can be found to represent a particular org or project. Also, minimizing the personnel required would be ideal, e.g. having student representing both an org and a project, although there should be sufficient numbers to handle each project or each org simultaneously. Also, a brochure highlighting the mission, vision and curriculum of the Department, bundled with profiles of the Computer Science organizations should be made available to the students.
Preferable to have the demo software in a laptop, so that it could be brought on Friday, and that a minimal amount of setup be needed.
