The University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) proudly celebrates another remarkable achievement as Ralph Clarence C. Delima, a BS Mechanical Engineering student, emerged as CHAMPION of the Autodesk Inventor CAD Competition during the 16th Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers (PSME) Students’ National Conference 2026, held on October 14, 2026, at the SMX Convention Center, Manila.

The Autodesk Inventor CAD Competition provided a platform for aspiring mechanical engineers to showcase their proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD), three-dimensional modeling, engineering visualization, and innovative problem-solving using industry-relevant design software.

Joining him in representing USTP was fellow BS Mechanical Engineering student Luis Enrico P. Nicolas, who also demonstrated his commitment to technical excellence by participating in the national competition.

Delima’s championship victory is a testament to the technical competence, creativity, and competitive spirit of USTP Mechanical Engineering students. This achievement further highlights the University’s commitment to providing quality engineering education, fostering innovation, and preparing future engineers to meet the evolving demands of the engineering profession.

Beyond the competition, their participation in the national conference offered valuable opportunities for professional exposure, technical learning, and engagement with fellow engineering students and industry professionals from across the country.

The USTP community, particularly the College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA) and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, extends its warmest congratulations to both students for representing the University with dedication and excellence. 

May this achievement inspire more USTP students to pursue excellence, embrace innovation, and demonstrate their engineering competencies in national and international competitions.

Innovating. Designing. Engineering Excellence.
