The deeper the foundation, the higher the building...

    The deeper the foundation, the higher the building... The UP Association of Civil Engineering Students indeed towers above the rest as one of the oldest organizations in the College. The organization, now on its 50th year, continues to serve its members and the college to the fullest. Proof of this are its long lists of outstanding alumni, consistent topnotchers in the CE Board Exams and respected Civil Engineers in their respective fields.

   A wealth of tradition has been passed on from generation to generation. Each year, it continues to mold batch after batch of young and aspiring engineers. As an academic organization, ACES' primary concern is the academic welfare of each member. It seeks venues for the application of the theories discussed in class. In fact, majority of its activities is geared towards this goal because, as everyone would agree, one cannot learn everything in the classroom. ACES are testimony to the fact the Smart need not mean Nerdiness and Active need not mean Delinquency. Fifty years have developed a unique culture able to create a balance between academics and orglife. The organization ensures the formation of well-rounded individuals prepared to face a world beyond the University grounds.

   More than this, the UP ACES has crossed the line from being just an organization. It has become a family and the tambayan, a home. Alumni keep still in touch, if not through visits to the ACES "home" then to the ACES "homepage". The bonds formed among residents and alumni transcend time and space.

   Annual activities keep this family busy. Aside from the much-awaited main event, the National Inter- CE Quiz, there are the premiere sponsorships, film showings and other income- generating projects. There are also the Indakan, a major night event, the day events - Fiesta Games. Halu-Halong Palo, and Jameng'g during the Engineering Week. After each activity, people would engrossed in planning parties, board operations (parties held in support of new graduates planning to take the board exams), gimmicks, night-outs and sem-ender escapades.

Each year there's something new, an added storey to the ACES building that rises higher than ever, with a foundation deep enough to support it. Three simple words would probably come closest to capturing the essence of UP ACES... Solid, Bigtime, Forever!
