One hundred thirty-seven
science and mathematics teachers, students, and enthusiasts attended UP
NISMED’s 3rd free public lecture on August 27, 2014 at the Dolores F.
Hernandez Hall Auditorium, Science Teacher Training Center, UP NISMED, Diliman,
Quezon City. Dr. Crispin Emmanuel D. Diaz, Director for Research and Extension
of the UP School of Urban and Regional Planning (UP SURP) and one of the
country’s leading experts in transportation planning, discussed the key ideas
on effective urban planning and the science and mathematics concepts behind
road network design. With many of the attendees being commuters themselves, the
lecture provided opportunities to better understand the factors that contribute
to traffic congestion and develop awareness on how science and mathematics help
in the study and alleviation of transportation-related problems experienced in
crowded cities. Dr. Diaz highlighted the role of science and mathematics
education to meet the country’s need for engineering fields.
