Congratulations to the Civil Engineering students from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) for completing their internship at the UP National Center for Transportation Studies (NCTS)!
The culminating activity was held on October 3, 2025, at NCTS Room A, marking the end of their two-month internship from July 21 to September 19, 2025, during which they completed 300 hours of hands-on training. The interns were assigned to the Training Group and the Transportation, Environment, and Energy (TE&E) Group, where they engaged in research and technical support activities.
Hosted by Ms. Maribelle Lobendino, NCTS REPS and Student Affairs Coordinator, the event featured welcome remarks from NCTS Director Dr. Jun Castro, along with other NCTS staff members who joined in commending the students’ efforts.
Throughout the internship, the program provided students with valuable exposure to real-world research, data analysis, and project development, while strengthening their understanding of engineering applications in transportation studies. The experience also helped them build essential professional skills, discipline, and work ethics, preparing them for future careers in engineering, research, and public service.
