The Engineering Maestros’ Guild (EMG) is a new club introduced this academic year aiming to spread the joys of engineering to the Monarchs of Southville. The STEM-centered organization had its first set of meetings last year, with initiatives centered around hands-on creation. With profound interest, The Mover was able to interview the Guild President Kahel Cristobal and Vice President Dayshaun San Pedro for more information about this up-and-coming club.
According to Kahel and Dayshaun, they started EMG from their realization that there were no engineering-centered clubs in SISC. Aspiring engineers themselves, Kahel and Dayshaun began the initiative to start something new.
Kahel stated, “I really had the passion, and besides, the career path I am choosing for my future is Engineering. However, I noticed that there were no engineering clubs in Southville.”
Thinking about what field of engineering to focus on, they ultimately decided on making two divisions: the Vehicle Department and the Construction Department. The former centers on activities related to the production of vehicles like planes and cars. On the other hand, the latter focuses on the development of infrastructure like bridges and buildings.
One distinct feature of EMG is the diverse project-based activities where students can experience hands-on activities. One such activity introduced was the bridge-making project that provided practical experience and gainful knowledge. This further connects with the club’s objective of having the officers endeavor to foster team collaboration among members and their passion for engineering. By involving similar activities, EMG introduces vital involvement in real-world challenges and an environment that provides a supportive community for learners.
Together with their club officers, EMG members embody collaboration to create an inclusive environment for everyone. They share the spirit of passion shown through their work done together to tackle complex challenges. The atmosphere reflects the fun and lively interactions within the club, with everyone participating actively.
Dayshaun describes the club using the word ‘passion.’ He stated, “All the members of the club are actually very passionate about engineering, and despite being a relatively small club, I can see that all of us are enthusiastic about our work.”
He shares his insights on the lively enthusiasm the members have. Despite engineering not being a popular interest among most students, all the members of EMG demonstrate the passion to extend their efforts towards personal development as innovators, changemakers, and future leaders of society.
Hoping to see more future enthusiasts in engineering, EMG’s officers encourage and welcome members willing to embark on the next step of their journey together. Even those without a significant interest in engineering are warmly welcomed as the club aims to spark curiosity, share knowledge, and meet lifelong friends where dreams become reality.
