Emerson, the US-based technology and engineering company, is collaborating with Miriam College\u2019s new Henry Sy Sr. Innovation Center to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education. A major part of the collaboration is Emerson\u2019s donation of an instrumentation laboratory at the school\u2019s new Innovation Center, the country\u2019s first integrated makerspace, located along Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City. Emerson has approximately 3,500 employees in the Philippines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Emerson Instrumentation Laboratory, or Instrulab, is a learning space with various tools for testing and conducting investigatory experiments. The facility is meant to inspire and energize the youth about the vital and fun benefits of learning about math and science as well as connect these fields to technological advances and modern conveniences. It is designed to teach students the fundamental concepts of pressure, distance and velocity, temperature, mass and weight, among others.<\/p>\n

Emerson will also support Miriam College\u2019s Innovation Center through initiatives where company personnel participate in lectures, programs, and collaborations with students and educators to train the \u201cSTEM workforce of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emerson\u2019s partnership with Miriam College is part of the company\u2019s advocacy to promote STEM education. In the Philippines, it has forged partnerships with 12 universities and 12 K-12 schools and sponsors 20 scholars in partnership with the AmCham Foundation. Its support of local educational institutions that nurture and inspire young students to pursue STEM disciplines is part of its commitments around the world. With programs and initiatives such as funding laboratories and professorships, sponsoring research in topics critical to Emerson\u2019s technology future and providing scholarships to fund education, Emerson aims to extend the benefits to the local communities by helping raise the quality of educational opportunities and improve lives in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a global technology and engineering leader, Emerson\u2019s continuing success depends on being able to attract highly-skilled talents, especially in the STEM disciplines. Our donation and engagement with an educational institution like Miriam College provides us with a unique opportunity to encourage young women in particular \u2013 as well as others in the community \u2013 to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of STEM disciplines in modern life as well as to explore career opportunities in these fields,\u201d said Ed Boone, vice president and general manager of Emerson Philippines. \u201cWe believe supporting STEM education in the Philippines can greatly affect the country\u2019s progress and development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emerson has evolved its business in the Philippines to provide more value-added solutions and services not only to the organization\u2019s business units but also to the customers in various areas of engineering, customer support, finance, marketing and business development, information technology, and supply chain management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
