ABOUT THE COVER With the ardent passion for excellence and high-quality education, Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL) commits to bring unparalleled educational advantage to the youth of Southern Luzon. Adopting significant measures toward the achievement of its vision, MCL is poised to produce globally competitive professionals fit to serve the ever-changing world. The use of 3D as a creative execution for MCL’s 2014 Viewbook is a fitting representation of how the school provides numerous opportunities to a student to realize his potential to become world class, right here. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT “We have formulated 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 globally relevant and of the success stories of millions of Filipino professionals making their marks on the student learning global physical stage. outcomes, designed Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL) gets this, and we want to equip our up-and-coming our curricula around young people in Laguna and environs so that they, too, can have successful careers. these, and sought to have our students MCL’s first batch of graduates roundly triumphed in the board examinations with an excellent overall passing percentage and a good number of topnotchers. We are, attain them using therefore, very confident that in the years to come our graduates will meet with success learner-centered in their various chosen careers here in our country and on distant shores. approaches.” Dr. Reynaldo B. Vea President/Chief Executive Officer ACHIEVEMENTS Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL) takes pride in the various accomplishments that its students and graduates have worked hard for, all of which also serve as a testament to the quality of MCL’s systems and offerings. Besides the 90% overall passing rate in the 2012 board and certification examinations of its alpha batch graduates, each college has had its own share of achievements. OUTCOMES-BASED EDUCATION Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL) has shifted from the traditional education system to the outcomes-based education (OBE) system in response to the increasing demands for professionals whose competencies meet global standards. OBE focuses on the knowledge and skills a student must have in order for him to successfully launch a career after finishing his academic program. These abilities or competencies are called outcomes. MCL’s Vice President for Academic Affairs, Engr. Dennis H. Tablante, said the basic principle of OBE is like thinking with the end in mind. “By the time they finish their programs, we want them to have the competencies and skills that meet the needs of the industries. We want them to be able to successfully demonstrate these skills,” he said. Each program has its specific Student Outcomes (the skills that students must have at the time of graduation) and Program Educational Objectives (what the school desires for its graduates to achieve many years after graduation). All outcomes are in line with MCL’s mission to produce graduates that possess the entry-level technical competencies, soft skills, and global perspective that will make them the most sought-after graduates by industries worldwide. MCL has also invested in its facilities, faculty and administrators for the efficient implementation of the OBE system. COLLEGES Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL) started off with only three colleges: the Mapúa Institute of Technology at Laguna (MITL), the Enrique T. Yuchengco College of Business (ETYCB), and the College of Computer and Information Science (CCIS), which was previously known as the College of Information Technology. In 2008, the Mapúa-PTC College of Maritime Education and Training (CMET) was established in cooperation with the Philippine Transmarine Carriers, Inc. (PTC), one of the country’s leading companies in crewing management. The following year, the school established the College of Arts and Science (CAS). MCL also created the Institute for Excellence in Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning (I-ExCELL), which offers one- year diploma programs in Culinary Arts and Digital Arts and Design. TOPNOTCH ENGINEERING PROGRAMS Right here Mapúa Institute of Technology at Laguna (MITL) molds its graduates to become globally competitive future leaders and dedicated, socially responsible and result- oriented engineers. At MITL, students are trained and guided by their experienced mentors through outcomes-based curricula and immersions in different companies. This kind of learning environment helps the students in generating answers to the most challenging technological and sociotechnological problems of various local and international industries.
