Building Integrated PhotoVoltaic

June 15, 2010
BIPV is a relatively new field of engineering and it is not yet mature. it’s immature nature can be trace to a fact that no comprehensive training program exist in order for it to be offered in engineering courses. It’s something that I have to learn while at the same time hold on to what I already know previously. I just hope that I can juggle my work and my thesis in order to catch on to the opportunity that it can bring me too.

Learning again

June 7, 2010
Well, it’ been almost two months since I last post my blog and it will be more irregular as I stopped teaching for now. It’s been two months since I entered the industry and several adjustments have to be made not only in my lifestyle but also in my knowledge bank. I still miss teaching and definitely I have to teach because that is the only way to be sharp. But I’m also learning a lot. I have learned a lot using autoCAD since the last time I taught it in a subject called CAE (CENCOMP in old lasallian eng vocabulary). I’m now studying about BIPV or Building Integrated PhotoVoltaic which is the integration of solar panels in the design of structures. I’m also helping some TIP-QC students in their outreach regarding the design of picohydro (I’m also grateful to kuya Obeth for his input, GreenHeat too have Hydro engineering capabilities).
 
Personally, I’m also learning how to look at myself more deeply. I need to exercise more financial awareness and wisdom far greater that what my dad has shown to us (Now this is where I miss him badly!) Aranda Engineering Tech. Ltd. is also in its birth pain (I know its not bad to abort businesses…) but at least it has some very promising clients.
 
While I cannot promise a regular dose of blog for these time I just realized I haveshould continue to write. I have to express what I have learned in order to help myself reflect more on to this and also allow people to express their thoughts on what I’m going through
