CCMS strengthens computing curricula through industry-led review

The College of Computing and Multimedia Studies conducted a Program Advisory Board Seminar-Workshop and Curriculum Review on July 9 at the CCMS Innovation Laboratory, bringing together faculty members, students, alumni and industry partners to recommend improvements to its computing programs.

CCMS Dean Rodrigo Belleza led the discussion and guided participants in reviewing the curricula of the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Bachelor of Science in Entertainment and Multimedia Computing programs.

Participants shared insights on the competencies, course content and learning experiences that CCMS could strengthen or include in the curricula. The discussions focused on ensuring that the programs remain responsive to developments in the information technology and multimedia industries and the changing needs of employers.

Industry representatives included Rod Julius Zamora of OpenIT, Darwin Kim Bulawan of Aboitiz Data Innovation, Argel De Mesa of Impact Technology Resources, Genrey Gabriel Rodriguez of Cloud Employee Ltd. and Aeres Joy Azores of DCExcel.

Alumni participants included Ada Loreen De Castro Enico, Olan Lasquety, Gabriel Biler, Russel Barnes, Althea Dianne Baculi, Faye Clar De Jesus and Jericho Gutierrez. Select students and CCMS faculty members also contributed their experiences and recommendations during the review.

Through the activity, CCMS strengthened collaboration among the academic community, graduates and industry stakeholders. Their recommendations will support the continued improvement of the three programs and help prepare students for professional practice and emerging opportunities in computing and multimedia.
