A committee that cares for the growth and development of its student members in their academic welfare 3. A reliable source for academic information and assistance for IE Club 4. A team of passionate Clubbers, led by its Vice-President, Directors, and Project Managers, who are beaming with ideas to innovate ways to reignite the passion for learning in IE Club
The Real Deal The Academics Committee (AcadComm) has found opportunities to utilize its members to serve the organization and the community through its projects The motto “Passion for Learning” has described the mission of the Academics Committee: to strengthen the passion of Clubbers to learn in their academics, to direct their passion for learning in service to their fellow Clubbers and Filipinos in need. As industrial engineers, continuous improvement is essential not only in our academic field, but also in our organization, and in the Academics Committee. Due to various factors, there is a need to address the problems that has surfaced and has been lingering in the committee over the years: 1. The implementation of the year-long staple projects of the committee. These are the projects that provide essential academic aid to Clubbers and have been present for a few years now. Yet these projects may have lacked the passion that Clubbers should give to them, and the relevance each project give to the Clubber’s academic welfare. Some reasons may be due to inconsistent service, lack in participation of Clubbers, lack in publicity, lack of updated academic resource materials. 2. The involvement of committee members. There is lacking in passion from most members, in leading AcadComm towards its goals, as members and officers. This also contributes to the first main problem of lack in effective implementation of committee projects. Although AcadComm can provide so much for the organization and its members, there is a need to take advantage of today’s available resources, review the needs of the members in both academic and social aspects, and implement projects that will effectively maximize each member’s skills, giving them a sense of accomplishment, growth, and belongingness as members of AcadComm and IE Club.
ACADCOMM IS THE VENUE FOR MEMBERS AS INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERS TO LEARN, DEVELOP, AND SERVE THE ORGANIZATION AND THE NATION Vision: A LEARNING EXPERIENCE AcadComm as a place of reliable source of academic information for IE Club and engineering students AcadComm as a place for passionate members to find holistic development through learning and serving.
