The Commission on Higher Education lauded Samar State University for topping all universities worldwide by maintaining its Top 1 spot under the Fourth Industrial Revolution category. “Makikita sa ranking ng SSU na tuloy-tuloy ang pag galing ng ating mga pamantasan dahil sa ganda ng kanilang mga proyekto at pag kumpara nila sa kanilang ginagawa sa mga pamantasan sa ibang bansa ,” CHED Chairman Popoy De Vera said in a statement on Tuesday, Aug. 8.
The project, CHED noted, pioneers a “comprehensive” citywide geohazard mapping and simulation system wherein the resulting maps will have a scenario-based comprehensive plan contributing to risk reduction and creating resilient communities. In 2022, SSU’s “Smart Edubox─A Wireless Sensor Based Educational Service Delivery” project also ranked 1st under the same category.
