In celebration of the Department of Electrical Engineering’s 25th Anniversary, the opening ceremony for the webEEnar series was held on the morning of September 20, 2021. The event was joined by over 200 participants from UPLB DEE (students, alumni, and faculty), other UP constituents, and the public.

The first webEEnar focuses on the realm of machine learning. Let us get to know the expert of our first session!
