COLLEGE OF ENGIEERING
Ayala Blvd., Ermita, Manila
Contact No. 3027750 loc 303
The College of Engineering (COE) was conceptualized when the Technological
University of the Philippines (TUP) acquired its university status on July 11, 1978
by virtue of Presidential Degree No. 1518. Conceived to enter to the needs of the
technician graduates of the programs Civil Technology, Electronics Technology and
Mechanical Technology, the College started its operation in 1979 implementing the
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE), Bachelor of Science in Electrical
Engineering (BSEE) and Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME)
curricula with very limited number of inputs. Realizing the unpredictable and very
limited number of inputs from the technician courses, the College opened the
doors to high school graduates in 1980.

Envisioned to tailor and nurture the engineering students right at the start of their

GRADUATE
curricular programs, the College implemented even the basic technical subjects;
Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics. With a blend of theory and skills, COE has
produced highly employable graduates and thirty-six (36) placers at the CE, EE
and ME Board Examinations since 1984.

PROGRAM Recognizing the increasing demand for electronics and communications engineers,
COE added and implemented the Bachelor of Science in Electronics and
Communications Engineering (BSECE) curriculum in 1990 by virtue of Resolution

CATALOGUE
No. 004 s 1989. Graduate engineering programs leading to the degree Master of
Science in Civil Engineering (MSCE), Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
(MSEE) and Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) were offered in
cooperation with the Graduate School and the Integrated Research and Training
Center (IRTC) in 1992 through BOR Resolution No. 335 s 1995, to meet the
needs of engineers who wish to pursue higher and advanced learning in their
chosen field.

Selected by Department of Science and Technology (DOST) as one of the

nineteen (19) engineering network schools COE participated in the development of
the Master of Engineering Program (MEP) by virtue of BOR Referendum No. 07 s
1995, the Master of Engineering (MEng,g) was implemented via the PATE NCR
consortium with University of Santo Tomas (UST), De la Salle University (DLSU),
Mapua Institute of Technology (MIT) and Adamson University (AdU).

In its continuous pursuit of excellence and quality in engineering education, the

College of Engineering is presently Level II Accredited Status since 1999. It has
also achieved the recognition of CHED as Center of Development in civil, electrical
and mechanical engineering programs in 1999.
