 For students who seek a perfect place for studying that is
convenient and comfortable, learning spaces play a significant role in the
campus culture of students.

CENG bench is a project designed to lessen the students'

problem with regards of the spaces suitable for all kinds of work. It is to
provide place and comfort to the students who are tired from their daily
school routine. One of the biggest concerns in establishing the CENG
bench was tailoring it to fit to the student’s needs and satisfaction.
Surely one wants to have a usual "tambayan" where you can enjoy the
privilege of learning and relaxing at the same time. Also, having a place
to study can improve your skills especially in solving and memorizing,
develop your assignment writings and preparation techniques that can
evolve into a better academic skills, leading to better grades and
enhanced one's ability.
 CENG bench may be the answer to some problems. It is a
learning environment with both physical and virtual components that
provide formal and informal opportunities for learners to come
together with peers, teachers, and other experts in their field. Here,
individuals can access relevant knowledge and information, enlist
support from educators and other learners, and, in so doing, develop
new opportunities to improve their livelihoods.

The existence of this project is to encourage students to

engage more in their study habits especially having it placed outdoor.
This project is an extension activity/program and project
development that will be constructed inside the BU College of
Engineering campus. It is designed and planned primarily to offer a
different kind of study area which can benefit students and
instructors on the academic matters wherein it can be situated
anywhere they want provided that it is for the purpose of learning
and for other significant concerns.
• To be able to conduct an extension activity in Bicol University College of
Engineering that would benefit students.

• To provide a place of learning besides the classroom especially for students who
prefer studying outdoors.

• To be able to construct a bench for all students and faculties and even visitors that
adds beauty to the campus.

• To engage constructively with diverse forms of knowledge and experience.

• To recognize and apply methodological approaches of Construction Materials and

Testing.

• To work productively with those within and beyond the university on

interdisciplinary collaborative projects.

• To develop and appreciate the subject Construction Materials and Testing.

The project focuses on the construction of an additional bench to be
placed in front of BUCENG lounge .The CENG bench will be made wider
and with shelf underneath the table to accommodate more stuff.
Moreover, the said hub shall feature new and stronger materials to be used
for its assembly, for the group observe that the old hubs were made with
low quality materials. Also, the hub is transferrable so that it could be
moved to a safer place during typhoons. The time frame for the
completion shall vary on several factors such as availability of funds,
materials, and labor, and weather conditions. Once the project is finished,
both students and faculties shall benefit from it.
Use for studying
• A go-to place of a student who seeks a study space where he could
study, complete assigned tasks, or do other school stuff during
school hours.
• The ambiance of the Bench should be peaceful or quiet for the
student to be able to concentrate or work or relax on school-related
things.
Use for other activities of the students
• The Cengians can also be used as students’ relaxing space, waiting
area, or a place where they can chat or eat snacks with their
classmates/friends.
Based from its two uses mentioned above, the study hub should be
located at an area with some distance from classrooms to prevent
disturbance of classes when a student or group of students decide to
stay there.
• The hub is located beside the lawn tennis court and in front of
BUCENG Lounge of Bicol University College of Engineering. It is
a perfect spot for the location of the CENG BENCH for now due to
its nice atmosphere and its distance from the classrooms.
In conducting the extension project of constructing the CENG BENCH in
Bicol University College of Engineering, the proponents came up with series
of activities in fulfilling the goals and objectives of the project. The project
includes 5 phases: ANALYZE, SET, DEVELOP, IMPLEMENT, and
EVALUATE.
1. ANALYZE
The major concern of the Engineering students is about lack of
comfortable study areas within their campus. Thus, to cope with this
pressing problem, we initiated a comprehensive project that will satisfy
student’s needs and concerns. We assure that this project will be a great
contribution to our College and will serve as an effective approach in
motivating students to CENG BENCH.
2. SET
We come up with the objectives to be achieved to address these
needs and concerns. The construction of Ceng bench aims to provide an
alternative learning area where they concentrate and have a productive day. It
can also be a place where students can have meetings, group study and can be
a resting area.
3. Develop
To address the concerns of the students, we proposed the
construction of the Ceng Bench. Through this project, we envision a more
active performance of students and good study habits. Fundamentally, we
would like to see students occupying the bench while holding some school
materials like books and pen, and also to acquire harmonious relation with
their fellow students particularly while performing group works. This bench
will benefit all the students of College of Engineering.
4. Implement
Putting into practice what was proposed in the project proposal
into the actual project. The preparation of necessary papers and
materials needed for the CENG bench.

1 • Design plan of project

2 •Estimation of materials

3 •Hiring of Laborers

4 •Start of construction of Ceng Bench

5 •Final Output.
4. Implement
Putting into practice what was proposed in the
project proposal into the actual project. The preparation of
necessary papers and materials needed for the CENG
bench.

5. EVALUATE
Evaluating the project whether it attain its objectives. To
see if the final output was durable and well crafted. The
evaluation is done through surveys. We ask some students
to test our bench by providing them an assessment form.

10) Place the 6 inch short piece of Doug fir
behind the center of the bend in the siding strip
to support outside the form.
11) Secure this with 2-½ -inch screws.
12) Cut and install the second wood-siding strip
on the opposite side. Measure the center of the
bend making sure you keep the 17 inches
consistent. Secure with a 6-inch Doug fir and
screws.
13) Measure 11 inches from the inside of each
17-inch Doug fir and mark a line on the
plywood.
14) Cut the packing foam 9 ½ X 1 X 2 7/8
inches.
15) Place the packing foam on that line and
secure with glue.
16) Lay the 5-inch square wire over the

Note:
The total cost of materials used in the construction of the CENG bench is
the estimated cost above.

The estimated labor payment for the construction of 1 CENG bench

would be: Php 300 x 5 days = Php 1,500
Since there are 2 laborers, the total payment for labor is Php3000.

The worker’s offer is somewhat like complete package for about 14,000.00.
He provides the materials and all equipment used. (The information above
is the estimated cost for all parts of construction for financial report
purposes)
Noticeably, most of the students of College of Engineering in Bicol
University stay at the campus’ Students’ Lounge during their free time.
It is where they often eat, hang out with friends, and held their group
studies since loud noises are not allowed inside the library. However, the
lounge is not that big to hold every student that often times the lounge
becomes crowded.

And with these, the group had constructed bench to at least provide an
additional place for students to stay, waiting area do their stuff.
Generally, the bench shall be an efficient solution in addressing the
concerns; the stated objectives and needs were satisfied and achieved.
The demand for bench has never been greater. Alternative learning
models and education spaces enables learning to take place anywhere,
anytime will help today’s learners and tomorrow’s students achieve
their full potential.
The improvement and maintenance of CENG Bench is important for the
continuous use of it. The following are some recommendations:
• Putting an LED light bulb in the word CENG that can highlight the
design and color of the CENG Bench at night.
• Putting an outlet used for charging wherein the source of electricity
comes from a solar panel, one that produces electricity through heat
and sun light.
• Putting foam covered with thick plastic in the concrete bench for
comfortable sitting and studying.
• Attachment of insulator or nipa roof that can lessen the heat caused
by the sun.
• Putting bamboo blinds at the edge of the roof used for sun light
protection and even heavy rains.
