BAGUIO CITY — The University of Baguio Legacy Gym came alive with creativity, collaboration, and innovation as the University of Baguio – School of Engineering and Architecture (UB-SEA) officially opened its annual SEA Exhibit for Academic Year 2026-2027 on October 16, 2026. The event featured interactive booths organized by various student organizations, providing students with opportunities to explore engineering and architecture disciplines through engaging displays and activities.
Student organizations under the School of Engineering and Architecture showcased discipline-specific projects, exhibits, and interactive activities throughout the venue. Among the participating organizations were the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE), the United Architects of the Philippines Student Auxiliary (UAPSA), the Institute of Electronics Engineers of the Philippines – University of Baguio Student Chapter (IECEP), the Philippine Society of Sanitary Engineers (PSSE), and BET MECA, along with sub-organizations SEArtisans, SEA’nergy, and SEAy It. Their booths highlighted innovative ideas, technical concepts, and creative approaches relevant to their respective fields.
The exhibit was conducted in two phases, enabling students to visit the booths, participate in games, and interact with organizational members. Through these activities, attendees gained a deeper appreciation of the various engineering and architecture programs while learning about the roles of student organizations in academic and professional development.

More than an exhibition of projects, the event demonstrated the value of experiential learning and collaboration. By transforming technical concepts into engaging and accessible exhibits, students were able to apply classroom knowledge in practical settings while strengthening their communication, teamwork, and leadership skills.
The annual SEA Exhibit aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The event supports SDG 4: Quality Education by promoting experiential and student-centered learning opportunities beyond the classroom. It also advances SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure by encouraging innovation, creativity, and the application of technical knowledge in engineering and architecture. Furthermore, the collaborative nature of the exhibit contributes to SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, as student organizations, faculty members, and student leaders worked together to create meaningful educational experiences for the university community.
As one of the School of Engineering and Architecture’s flagship activities, the SEA Exhibit continues to provide a platform where learning, innovation, and creativity converge, inspiring students to develop solutions, share ideas, and prepare for future professional practice.
