Message from the President
In year 2000, Mapúa enunciated a vision to be a global center of excellence in education. This was in appreciation of the phenomenon of globalization and its demands on schools worldwide. The technology- driven, knowledge-based global economy called for schools to produce graduates who are educated to international standards. It behooved schools to open up to the global community by exchanging faculty members and students and doing collaborative research with foreign universities and by tying up with foreign companies for international on-the-job-training (OJT) for its students. Mapúa envisioned itself not just meeting these challenges but being among the best in doing so.
Today, Mapúa has 10 engineering and I.T. programs that are accredited by ABET, the accrediting body for engineering, computing, and technology programs in the U.S. It was the first school to get such accreditation in the whole of Southeast Asia. This accreditation is a formal recognition that Mapúa programs lead to the attainment by its graduates of attributes and competencies that are internationally accepted. Today, Mapúa is sending a good number of its students for OJT in the US, Spain, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia over a wide range of academic programs. Today, Mapúa has linkages with schools in the US, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Greece, India, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Mapúa’s faculty members have co-written scientific research papers, a number of them award-winning in international conferences, with counterparts in other countries. In the past years, major global companies like Fluor, Emerson Process Management, and Cummins have established instructional laboratories within Mapúa. Three Mapúa faculty members have been accredited by Cisco to train trainors for its security course within South Asia. Today, Mapúa’s I.T. curricula accommodate specialization in specific competencies in industry-standard software such as SAS, SAP, Netsuite, Microsoft.NET Technology, JAVA, Oracle, and HP Unix.
In going for international standards, Mapúa has helped Philippine-based firms with their own need to compete worldwide by supplying them with globally competitive talent. This need is never more urgent than now as the full integration of ASEAN comes around the corner next year! The work of past years in providing a learning environment that supports students in attaining learning outcomes that are tuned to international benchmarks will hopefully continue to pay off in terms of the easy mobility of Mapúa graduates across ASEAN and beyond.
Come study with us. We are all leveled up to a global state of play!

Over time, the Institute expanded its program offerings and facilities. The 17,996-square-meter campus now houses architecture and design, engineering and sciences, engineering management, social sciences, and multimedia and visual arts programs. The Intramuros campus is easily accessible via buses, passenger jeepneys, and the Light Rail Transit. Inside the campus, all the buildings are interconnected, making the different offices, classrooms, and other facilities easily accessible. It has an airconditioned gymnasium, audio-visual rooms, laboratories, and a chapel, among others. Soon, a new research facility will rise on its grounds. The Intramuros campus is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to aid its students in their learning and development. With more than 12,000 students in Intramuros, the Institute’s population continues to grow. Today, Mapúa is widely recognized as the biggest engineering school in the Philippines.
