Message from the President

If many a Filipino high school graduate today frame their dreams on a global scale, it would be because of the steady stream of globally-originated information in cyberspace and of the success stories of millions of Filipino professionals making their marks on the global physical stage. Mapúa gets this, and we want our up-and-coming young people to start realizing their big dreams, too, by studying with us. We empower our students so that they can "Mapúa is now formally prepare themselves for eventual work and life in the Philippines and anywhere else on the planet. In order to do this, we have formulated globally-relevant student learning all leveled up to a global outcomes, designed our curricula around these desired outcomes, and sought to have our students attain these outcomes using learner-centered approaches. state of play!" As our Commission on Higher Education (CHED) implements an outcomes-based quality assurance system, Mapúa has stayed well ahead of the curve by being the first in Southeast Asia to voluntarily subject itself to and successfully hurdle an outcomes- based accreditation by the US-based ABET. One can say that Mapúa is now formally all leveled up to a global state of play!

School of Architecture, Industrial Design, and the Built Environment The School of Architecture, Industrial Design, and the Built Environment is a dynamic and innovative center of excellence and a partner of the country in community and nation building. It employs research in creating designs for buildings, spaces, products, and services to keep up with technological developments while addressing social needs, market demands, and environmental concerns. Its main objective is to facilitate the learning and training process of future architects and Intramuros campus designers, who are globally competitive and responsive to social and environmental issues. The Institute’s campus on Muralla Street in the historic Intramuros, Manila first opened in 1956, housing combines theoretical and practical only its architecture and professional engineering courses. Over time, the Institute expanded its program aspects of the practice, with emphasis offerings and facilities. The 17,996-square-meter campus now houses architecture and design, engineering on the optimum development of and science, engineering management, social sciences, and multimedia and visual arts programs. the students’ conceptualization and creative skills. It is designed to cover The Intramuros campus is easily accessible via buses, passenger jeepneys, LRT, and private vehicles. a wide range of professional practice Inside the campus, getting around from one building to another is easy because the Institute’s main such as interior design, furniture buildings are interconnected. It has a gymnasium, a student pavilion and a chapel, among others. and accessories design, visual The Intramuros campus is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to aid its students in their learning merchandising, production design, and development. With more than 10,000 students in Intramuros, the Institute’s population continues to exhibition design, interior landscaping grow. Today, Mapúa is widely recognized as the biggest engineering school in the Philippines. design and lighting design. It also provides computer-aided design and drafting courses, building information modelling, internship and correlation courses to link the students to the latest trend in interior design practice.
