Technological Institute of the Philippines

[EduCativ]

On February 8, 1962, a group of educators headed by Engineer Demetrio A. Quirino Jr. and Dr. Teresita U. Quirino established the TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF THE PHILIPPINES as a private non-sectarian stock school.
The Information Systems (I.S.) programs of T.I.P. Manila and T.I.P. Quezon City are the first and only I.S. programs accredited by ABET CAC in Southeast Asia. Accreditation is a voluntary, peer-review process that requires programs to undergo comprehensive, periodic evaluations. The evaluations, conducted by teams of volunteer professionals working in industry, government, academe, and private practice within the ABET disciplines, focus on program curricula, faculty, facilities, institutional support, and other vital areas. ABET is a not-for-profit organization owned and operated by its more than 32 professional and technical member societies. An internationally respected organization with some 2,000 volunteers, ABET has set the higher-educational standards in its fields for nearly 80 years.
The Architecture program develops students' skills in architectural design, freehand drawing, surveying, model making and rendering, and skills in management related to construction projects. It includes subjects in architectural design, construction materials, and construction management. The program is designed to provide a broad foundation for developing social and environmental awareness, problem-solving ability, and design creativity.
The Chemical Engineering program focuses on developing and applying industrial processes in which chemical or physical principles are involved. The program prepares students for careers in industries that deal with chemicals, drugs, food, textile, cement, and other products. The program allows students to design, create, and troubleshoot large and small chemical plant setups. The program also allows students to perform formal researches on chemistry-related topics.
The Civil Engineering program is a five-year program that provides students the knowledge and expertise necessary to plan, design, construct, supervise, and maintain facilities essential to modern life. These facilities vary widely in nature, size, and scope and include offshore structures, bridges, buildings, tunnels, highways, transit systems, dams, airports, ports and harbors, towers, and water distribution systems. The program also provides students the fundamental skills in land surveying, highway and transportation engineering design, structural design, and construction materials selection and testing. It also includes topics in flood controls, landslide, air and water pollution, and facilities design to withstand earthquakes and natural hazards.
Computer Engineering is a profession that applies engineering principles and methodologies in the analysis, design, implementation, and management of hardware, software, and the integration of both. The program includes computer hardware, system development, and design, microelectronics and embedded systems, data communication and network administration, and software development and design.
The Electrical Engineering program deals with the generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electricity. It also deals with the design, operation and protection, maintenance, and economics of electrical systems, emphasizing ethical values to harness economically and safely the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of society and the environment.
Electronics Engineering is a profession that integrates available and emerging technologies with knowledge of mathematics, natural, social, and applied sciences to conceptualize, design, and implement new, improved, or innovative electronic, computer, and communication systems, devices, goods, services, and processes. The Electronics Engineering program focuses on designing, constructing, integrating, operating, and maintaining electronic equipment, electronic devices, and circuits used in the transmission and processing of information.
The Industrial Engineering program brings together the various sciences concerned with technology, the production of goods, performance of services, and how people work. Industrial engineers integrate human, information, material, monetary, and technological resources to produce quality and cost-competitive goods and services in a healthy and efficient work environment. Industrial Engineering covers a broad spectrum, including production planning and control, manufacturing systems and processes, facilities design, human factors, occupational safety, quality control, systems reliability, systems analysis, and design with a strong emphasis on advanced computing.
The Mechanical Engineering program is centered on the principles of power generation through appropriately designed machines. The program emphasizes the various types of power generating machines, their functions, components, construction, and operation and maintenance. Specifically, it is concerned with mechanical design, energy conversion, fuel, combustion technologies, heat transfer, materials, noise control, acoustics, manufacturing processes, rail transportation, automatic control, product safety, and reliability, solar energy, etc. their technological impact on society.
T.I.P. laid down its objectives based on its founders' vision: to maintain a high standard of instruction to bring within reach of the masses the blessings of higher education and cooperate with the government in the implementation of its economic and social amelioration programs. The School had an initial enrollment of 2,400, which steadily increased.T.I.P. then directed itself toward specialization in the field of technology. In 1977, it offered a two-year associate course in Marine Engineering. In 1980, the Liberal Arts, Education, and high school programs were phased out to make way for the School's new thrust. In 1981, the student population already exceeded 23,000.
