MUST Goals and Objectives

What can I say about it?

Mindanao University of Science and Technology, is an institution that highly gives quality education especially to students and also MUST is an institution in center of Excellence in Engineering and Technology which is definitely great to know.

When we say goals it refers to the aim or purpose of achieving something, right? In my own insight the MUST goals and objectives are very realistic, why? It is because I do believe, trust and salute the “stakeholders” itself whom who proposed, planned and organized to make the said institution be in progress. I’m not telling this because I’m one of the students of MUST and In fact not to be bias at all, The stakeholders such as the president, vice- president, teachers, students, personnel and staffs are very active, responsible and open-minded. They excel in different fields. Let’s take for instance: The new ICT building, the computer laboratory, the ongoing science complex, see!?! There were lots of improvements in a very short period of time. I’m so blessed and thankful for this one of a kind opportunity, I’m now in fourth year college taking up Bachelor in Secondary Education major in Technology and Livelihood Education (T.L.E.) and I really enjoy and already make used of the said improvements. That’s the reason that I’m confident and proud to say that their aim would surely become possible and successful as well.

My own suggestion. In order that the MUST institution will maintain its good quality education, the“stakeholders” should consider the following:

• The cooperation and participation should always be intact;

• The passion towards work will not change in passive way;

• The commitment should always be in their hearts;

• The virtue of having good attitude in dealing with the other stakeholder needs, should always be present

We should go hand in hand so that there will be good outcome with said MUST’s Goals and Objectives.

Goal 1: Pursue of Excellence in Instruction

This first goal is already pursuing its excellence in Engineering and Technology. Actually they always give high quality education that makes every student gain knowledge with the used of unique Instructional Materials (IM’s) that serve as learning tools. The way that the facilitators/ teachers deliver their lesson is very effective because there is so called “hands on training” that indulge every student in different actual activities which is good to know. The teaching- learning processes that MUST’s institution offers are definitely very effective. PERFECT!!!!

Goal 2: Pursue Excellence in Research

This goal is very possible and realistic because it gives every individual (students) the chance of engaging themselves to a research projects. Honestly, it cost you a lot but surely! No doubt….It will enhance your capacity to think. In fact, we’ve also experienced making a research paper; it is difficult because you must give time as well as effort. The researchers need to prove its research in order to know whether it is effective, useful or not. Actually it gives that urge and eagerness of the students whom making some research because of the awards that they are getting. This will surely serve as learning experience for us.

Goal 3: Pursue Excellence in Extension

This third goal was already proven effective, right? The “extension” of MUST institution is a way to extend their help to those students who also live in far places to pursue their studies in a university that gives the contentment of learning. The university is highly doing that. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!!

Goal 4: Establish the Center of Energy and Environment

The fourth goal is very important because they really tend to impart to those students on how to take good care of all the equipments, to conserve energy and how to protect and preserve the environment. They teach the students to be a good role model for a great “change” to make them become progressive as well.

Goal 5: Promote Student Affairs, Welfare and Success

The fifth goal emphasizes the ability of the students that they need to develop. It talks about the overall duties of students to excel in their chosen field in order to achieve their purpose in life.(It includes passing board examination,etc.) The standard of learning should be maintained in an active way. It is very useful for the students. :-) The university gives chance to those deserving students to pursue their studies in college with the use of Scholarship program. See they extend their help, mark my word… This is a university were you can find a brighter future ahead. Mark my word!!

Goal 6: Maximize Library and other Resource Support to the Learning

Goal number six, is very interesting in my part it talks about the maximizing the use of the library. Honestly, it is a big help for the students to have the enough availability of books in the library. This will make used for their own projects, assignments, research works and other school purposes. My only suggestion is that the books that the student wanted to borrow should always be available. I mean, it can be brought at home (some books are only for room use!). I am saying this because not all students can afford to photocopy some pages of the books(they need to use) because of “financial problem”. It is very important that the library resources can accommodate the needs of every student. As much as possible. On the other side, the E-library is a big help also, the staff and other personnel in the E-library should not block the websites which is very useful, and especially for those students who are taking “Educational Technology” instead of working in the E-lib to save money as well, they are force to pay in the internet cafe. I think they should make actions on it. In order for the students to avoid some difficulties they should help the students to sustain their needs.

Goal 7: Implement Massive Infrastructure Development

This seventh goal is also very realistic. Let’s say for instance, the ongoing science complex building is a proof, they build it in a short period of time. It’s good to know, because it provides the students a conducive learning environment. The other plan infrastructure such as the ICT Road and Powerhouse Science Complex, University Dormitory, University Student Center, University Cafeteria, Engineering Building, Technology Building, Education Building and University Library, I’m sure that this will be granted because the stakeholders are very responsible.

Goal 8: Implement Massive information and Communication Technology Development

The eight goal emphasizes the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). In fact it is a big help for us because by the use of it we can access information quickly. We should know the fact that not all the students don’t know how to manipulate the computer. There should be a free lecture/ class that help the first timer to educate their selves with ICT programs.

Goal 9: Pursue

Outstanding Human and Organizational Development

It deals with the personality,attitude and performance of the individuals especially to students like me. This goal enhances the student’s capability to be competitive in a right way. They want the students to be responsible and as much as possible to be independent, they can stand on their own and also they can make wise decision to become progressive in their studies.

Goal 10: Ensure More Efficient and Effective Resource Management and Generation.

The last goal I think, it involves the use of “money”. We can’t avoid the fact that in order for a resource management to become fruitful they really need to spend such money to finance the University’s various program and projects. Through this, the stakeholders should know how to take good care of the financial “money” on their hands.

Lets do it and Surely we can do it!!!
