Summary, etc It has been forty years since the first batch of undergraduate Computer Science students started at the University of the <br/>Philippines (U.P.) Diliman. Professor Evangel Quiwa is one of the faculty pioneers who spearheaded the birth of the Department of Computer Science (DCS) at the U.P. Diliman College of Engineering. Early batches of students spoke of Prof. Quiwa with equal measures of respect and fear. His undergraduate courses in CS 32 - Data Structures and CS 131 - Numerical Computing were taken with trepidation, and you can hear mixed sighs of relief and dismay when exam results are released. Prof. Quiwa though, was not just a respected teacher at UP. He was likewise a key part of that initial group of computer engineers and scientists in the early days of computerization efforts at U.P. In those years, mainframe computers were few and far between and programmers skilled in handling such computers were even more rare. These computing pioneers at U.P. worked at the University Computer Center, and initiated efforts to digitize and optimize major systems in U.P., from the admissions systems, the tuition fee assistance program, to the registration system. Having started as one of Prof. Quiwa’s students in both CS 32 and CS 131,and eventually joining the DCS faculty, I am honored to have been asked to write of Prof. Quiwa’s contributions to Computer Science teaching and applied research at U.P.
