DIS Extension ProgramEmpowering Communities through Technology: DIS Extension Program's RFID System at ICENHS

New RFID-Enabled Attendance Monitoring System Launched at Iligan City East National High School
In an effort to modernize its attendance monitoring system, Iligan City East National High School (ICENHS) has recently installed a state-of-the-art Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system. Developed by a team of experts from MSU –ย College of Information and Computing Sciences, Department of Information Sciences, the system aims to provide a more efficient and reliable way of tracking student attendance.
Led by Mr. Reymark D. Deleรฑa, MSIT(candidate) ofย Department of Information Sciences (DIS), along with Prof. Joseph C. Sieras, MSIT, and Ms. Azima D. Ampuan as co-proponent, the team crafted an extension proposal titled RFID-enabled Attendance Monitoring System for Iligan City East National High School. Their proposal was well-received by the school administration, which granted them permission to install and test the new system.
After several months of hard work, the team has successfully installed the necessary RFID-related equipment, including a Raspberry Pi, an ORANGE Pi, two mounted monitors, LAN connections, and six RFID readers. The monitoring software has also been thoroughly tested through integration testing. The new system is set to go live on February 20, 2023, just in time for the start of the new school year.
What’s remarkable about this project is that it also involved senior students from the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) program. Under the guidance of their professors, the BSIT Network Systems track helped with the cabling and networking of the mini computers, while the BSIT Database Systems track assisted in the software integration testing. This allowed the students to gain valuable hands-on experience in real-world project development and implementation.
The success of the project is due in large part to the support of the School Administration, led by Dr. Rosemarie S. Macarandan, as well as the School’s Parents-Teachers Association (SPTA). The DIS team is also grateful to Dr. Basari D. Mapupuno, MSU President, Dr. Fema A. Abamo, Vice Chancellor for Research, Extension, and Development, to Prof. Pandao O. Bula, Director for Extension, and Prof. Mudzna M. Asakil, Dean of CICS, for their support and guidance throughout the project.
The DIS is committed to sharing its expertise with the community and is open to collaborating with other organizations and institutions. If you’re interested in bridging the digital divide in your community, don’t hesitate to reach out to Ms. Jenan Fathma Rande, the College Extension Coordinator at MSU CICS.
In conclusion, the RFID-enabled Attendance Monitoring System is a testament to the DIS team’s dedication and expertise in developing innovative solutions that can benefit not only their students but also the community at large. With this new system in place, ICENHS is poised to lead the way in attendance monitoring and pave the way for other schools to follow suit.

The College of Information Technology (CIT) at the Mindanao State University Main Campus has recently undergone a renaming process and is now known as the College of Information and Computing Sciences (CICS). This change was recommended by Prof. Maimona M. Asum, the former Dean of the College, and the Executive Committee on the Board of Regents, and it was approved on July 12, 2021, to better reflect the changing trends and advancements in the field of computing and information sciences.
MSU CICS Recently Underwent COPC for the BSIT Program
By: Jasmin Jeanette C. Mama, MIT
The College of Information and Computing Sciences (CICS) recently underwent a rigorous Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC) evaluation for its BS in Information Technology majors in Database Systems and Network Systems program, administered by the BARMM Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education (MBHTE). The evaluation took place from March 13-16, 2023.
During the four-day event, the program was thoroughly assessed in critical areas such as Administration, Faculty, Curriculum, Library, Laboratory, Admission and Retention, and Research. The purpose of the COPC evaluation was to ensure that the implementation of the BSIT program complied with all requirements in accordance with the applicable CHED Memorandum Order of Policies, Standards, and Guidelines (PSG). The PSG contains provisions that cultivate the culture of excellence in offering the program.
In preparation for the visit, the college, under the leadership of Dean โ Prof. Mudzna M. Asakil, MSCS, worked diligently with the Department of Information Sciences (DIS) Faculty Taskforce, headed by DIS Chairperson Prof. Joseph C. Sieras, the Administrative Staff, the Executive Committee of the College, the BYTES Officers, and students to compile necessary documents and prepare the College facilities for the ocular inspections.
The college wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to the MSU Administration for their steadfast support throughout the COPC journey. We would like to extend our special recognition to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, VC Dr. Amerkhan G. Cabaro for his exceptional dedication to this initiative, as well as to MSUS President Atty. Basari D. Mapupuno for his unwavering commitment. We applaud you, Sirs, for your invaluable contributions towards the success of this endeavor.
The College would like to express also its deep appreciation to Prof. Sadat G. Blah, who served as the evaluator during the BSIT COPC evaluation, for his invaluable insights, time, and recommendations. The successful completion of this evaluation underscores the commitment of the College of Information and Computing Sciences to providing high-quality education in the field of information technology.
