QCU and Barangay Novaliches Proper Advance Solar-Powered Early Warning System
The College of Engineering of Quezon City University (QCU) further strengthened its partnership with Barangay Novaliches Proper through a follow-up meeting held on September 3, 2025, to advance the development of a solar-powered early warning siren system.
Led by Dr. Ryan F. Arago together with faculty members and barangay officials, including Hon. Asuncion M. Visaya, Hon. Enrique Anonuevo, and Hon. Cecille Ramos, the meeting focused on refining the project’s implementation strategy and technical design.
The project team presented updated project plans, technical schematics, implementation timelines, budget requirements, and a working prototype of the renewable energy-powered warning system. The proposed siren aims to improve disaster preparedness and emergency response capabilities while minimizing dependence on conventional power sources.
The initiative forms part of QCU’s broader commitment to utilizing engineering innovation to address community challenges. Through close collaboration with local government units, the university seeks to develop practical technologies that enhance public safety and strengthen disaster resilience.
University officials emphasized that the project serves as a valuable platform for experiential learning, allowing students to participate in real-world engineering projects while contributing to community welfare.
As the project progresses, stakeholders remain committed to transforming the solar-powered siren system from prototype to deployment, ensuring that sustainable technologies can directly benefit local communities.
