ENGINEER MOTIVATES FUTURE<br />
ENGINEERS THROUGH SONG<br />
By Cielo Panda<br />
So, how bad do you want that<br />
engineering license?<br />
You’ve done your best in engineering<br />
school and finally graduated, but<br />
it doesn’t end there. After that,<br />
there’s another challenge to face<br />
that will complete the first step<br />
towards professionalism—taking<br />
your licensure examination.<br />
Reviewing for your licensure<br />
examination can be very stressful<br />
mentally. This isn’t just any<br />
normal exam wherein you could<br />
procrastinate reviewing for a week<br />
or two. Usually it takes a few<br />
months to cram 4 (or more) years<br />
of your engineering knowledge into<br />
your brain before you can say that<br />
you’re ready to take the licensure<br />
examination. The anxiety is real!<br />
That’s why Emanuel Gabriel, a<br />
Filipino engineer, created a cover<br />
of Travie McCoy’s and Bruno Mars’<br />
hit song, Billionaire, to motivate<br />
future licensure examination<br />
takers everywhere.<br />
Engr. Emanuel got the top<br />
spot in the Philippines’ 2014<br />
Electronics <strong>Engineering</strong> Licensure<br />
Examination, and was one of the<br />
5th placers in the 2013 Electronics<br />
Technician Licensure Examination.<br />
He was also Magna Cum Laude<br />
in the course BS Electronics<br />
<strong>Engineering</strong> at the Polytechnic<br />
University of the Philippines-<br />
Maragondon. Currently, he is an<br />
instructor at Excel Review Center,<br />
a licensure examination review<br />
center in the Philippines.<br />
According to Emanuel, he already<br />
had the feeling that he would pass<br />
both exams, and he was aiming to<br />
be at the top—and he succeeded<br />
on both examinations.<br />
He created the cover because he<br />
was inspired by his students. “I also<br />
did it to lessen the nervousness<br />
of all engineers-in-the-making<br />
who will take the exam, especially<br />
my students,” Emanuel said. “I<br />
want to be part of an engineering<br />
student’s success that’s why I’ve<br />
decided to choose a teaching<br />
career. I feel very happy that I will<br />
always be part of their success.”<br />
He added.<br />
Here’s a piece of advice from<br />
Emanuel for the future batches<br />
of engineers around the world:<br />
“Always have a timeline, put more<br />
effort on your studies, but make<br />
sure that you also have your<br />
leisure time. Always take notes, it<br />
will surely help you.”<br />
