board exams should not be regarded as the basis for being the best. the professional regulation commission has issues to resolve. take for example the may 2002 civil engineering board exams.

by the way, im a 5th yr civil engineering student from up diliman expecting to graduate this coming march 2003. our professors have been constantly reminding us that our curriculum was designed to train future leaders in our respective fields. yes, we do not top the board exam (yet we get slots in the top 20), but we become the future bosses of the topnotchers from the other schools.

we are trained to analyze and design. the exams in our major subjects are never of multiple choice type, or board exam-like crap. we do not have those excessive drawing subjects. we do not draw when we work, we tell the other engineers to draw for us. we do not have autocad subjects because we feel that we should not end up as draftsmen. regarding the exams we have in our major subjects, the real field of civil engineering is not made up of multiple choice blueprients and computations either. whenever a client tells an engineer to do this and do that, try to bombard him with those lengthy equations that you learn so that the client will pay you more. you give him load of paper in multiple choice type and you're dead. see what i mean.

to top it all. the faculty in up is the best.

so totoo pala ang lahat na sinabi ng mga profs namin...

grad ako ng ece sa XU, and to tell you guys, na the college of engineering ng Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan is one of the best in the country. yun ang sinabi ng dean namin before we grad last march 2001.

Most of our engineering profs took masteral in UP-diliman, kaya palagi nila naicompare ang curriculum ng UP-diliman sa school namin...

at maganda talaga ang results sa school namin.

kakaunti lang ng mga XU grads makapasok sa top 20 slots, pero isa ang Xavier na may pinakamataas na passing percentage at kailan man hindi bumaba ang passing namin compare sa national passing...kahit itanong nyo sa PRC at CHED.

Dahil sa maganda ang performance namin sa engineering exams, maraming company na pupunta sa Xavier during the campus recruitments.

at sa batch namin(ece lang, 20 +) around 10 students na nagtratrabaho ngayon na nasa Luzon plants (hitachi, analog devices, maxim etc. )

isa ang school namin na may maganda ang Engineering training.
kaya kahit wala pa kaming track record sa ECE nung magsimula pa lang, isa na agad ang Xavier sa selected schools ng annual GTAAA selections...

pero sa tingin ko, UP-diliman ang d best sa eng'g.

but ofcourse comparable talaga ang training namin sa UP...yun rin ang sabi ng mga kaklase na nagtransfer sa school namin na galing sa UP.

just sharing lang.

o tama na ha! lahat magaling sa engineering!

ganito na lang: kung engineer ka at sa tingin mo naging saksesful ka, ibig sabihin, magaling ang school mo!

pag average ka lang, di ka pa rin boss, ibig sabihin di magaling school mo! (o wag na hihirit at baka mahalata ka lang)

at kung wala namang engineering sa school mo, wag ka mag post sa thread na ito. (sige mahahalata ka lalo pag sumagot ka pa)

at pag may nag-away pa dyan, sa presinto na kayo magpaliwanang!

ok. peace tayo para masaya. :)

o para sa mga hindi sigurado sa mga pino-post, eto ang reyalidad:

both schools are good (UP and DLSU): both has quite a number of profs with PhDs (theory) and well-known Industry Professionals(application).

UP Engineering Courses: 5 years without practicum
DLSU Engineering Courses: 4 years with practicum

both schools (and quite a few others) DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT teach the students how to TOP THE BOARD EXAMS but rather how to be a good and significant engineer in his/her chosen field. (wag na mag-react at baka mahalata ka pa)

UP focuses more on theory and management.
DLSU focuses more on business and application.

how do i know? common sense. you still don't know? hahaha (i bet you'll choose another school to be the best)

do you know what i think? your opinion is lame.

you will be a succesful businessman in the future. but not a succesful engineer. i have high regards for UP students pro bkit ganyan explanation mo. wen you are into engineering they teach you to be TECHNICAL not ENTREPRENEURIAL.

i dont agree with you on not basing the reputation of a school on the board exams. definitely its one of the barometers. those drawing subjects are very helpful. lam mo ba un? even in massachusetts institute of technology they pay attention in yur ability to write in engineering lettering. no wonder wala gaanong topnotcher ang UP sa board exams. they are afraid to be technical. i wonder why? matatalino ang mga taga-UP db? lam mo ba when you are reviewing for the board exams pinag-aaralan mo lahat ng kaya mong pg-aralan. you dont leave nothing to chance. your aim is still to answer the given questions with proper solutions. because that is the only way you would be able to answer the questions correctly comfortably.
anyway sa skul rn **** nmin e hndi multiple choice ang exams. puro problem solving.

here is my list. in no particular order because i haven't been 2 other schools. i regard the schools in the list all at the top.

1. Mapua Institute of Technology
2. Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology
3. St. Louis University
4. UP-Diliman
5. De La Salle University-Taft

i don't believe na sa lasalle madaling pumasa ng engineering. sobrang hirap kaya... hindi ka pagbibigyan ng mga professors kailangan mo talaga i-deserve iung grade mo... survival of the fittest din hindi lahat ng pumapasok na eng sa lasalle ay nakakagraduate... 1rst year pa nga lang may naki2ck out na.. kaya don't tell me na walang kahirap-hirap sa lasalle dahil i tell you na sobrang pressure sa pag-aaral dahil sobrang bilis at mataas ang expectations ng mga profs sa mga students...
basta engineering course... sobrang hirap... kasama na dun ang lasalle..

talga naman survival of the fittest in any Engg course, in any university. in UP nga lang, yes while it is true that we get the grade we deserve, while the profs are fair in giving grades, bumbawi sila sa exams namin. like for example, in an ENgineering science subject in UP, ES 12 (Dynamics of Rigid Bodies), three questions lang ang isang exam, and two hours lang ang time. ganito rin for the other engg courses. akala mo ok lang....ges *** kahit isa hindi mo masasagot kahit gaano ka-deep ang pagkaunderstand mo sa topic. ol am saying is talagang MAHIRAP sa UP. talagang we are trained sa mahirap. we are trained na hindi lang kung ano *** tinuro ay un na. it's how those topics are connected. FUSION! i dunno why pero well, what do you expect from the best diba?

well, bout the topic. UP and UST have excellent engg colleges. La Salle is good din.

hello_pain

Jul 16, 2002, 09:32 AM

yes i agree that it is hard to pass any engineering course. i think UP is good because of the students. bago ka makapasok sa UP mhirap tlg. and because those that were able to study in UP is good, they make their respective schools a lot better. to me i'd like to think that if you are able to make an average student from highschool be a good engineer when he graduates is the best barometer for any engineering school.

Wala akong paki sa public perception surveys na yan, madali namang imanipulate yon. And its really far from reality. Lets talk about individual merits not just perception!

And we are talking here of which are the best engineering schools, bakit pilit mong ipinapasok ang ateneo? Please lang 'no, eh ece lang naman and eng'g ng ateneo nasa infancy stage pa or baka naman you're referring to that fake eng'g course- Mgt. Eng'g? (admu lang, i don't give a damn on ateneo's provincial schools).

If you wan't perception that is credible, why not consider that of other countries? Take for example Canada. If you are an engineering graduate of UP, DLSU and Mapua, you just have to take their board exams there and if you pass, you can practice your profession. Unlike other schools here that are not accredited, they still have to take undergrad courses there.

Kaya please lang, AB courses lang po ang forte ng ateneo and yun nga palang law school nyo-breeding grounds ng future corrupt government officials and criminals! Reality lang po.

nainis lang kasi ako dati kay scoobydoobydooo nang sinabi nya na 'fact' raw yung ranking 1,2,3,4 , kaya nishare ko ang public perception na narinig ko mismo sa 2 tenga ko. ok?

again, sorry not intentionally yun... that was the time na nagsisimula ako magPEX.

i know. my post was just the reaction to scooby's POST.
the intention was percetion of the country's leading school.
based lang yan sa mga narinig ko. ok?

i'm an ECE grad from XU-Ateneo de Cagayan. Our school's mission and vision is to form men and women for others for the needs and integral development in the country and particularly in northern mindanao. so we don't need to go Canada to have public perception, after all, most students from our school were Filipinos.
papatawa lang :lol:

i have to agree on a previous post that UP focuses more on theory..

sa UP kasi eh hindi ini-encourage ang pagmememorize ng sandamukal na formula.. more on concepts kungbaga.. we are trained to derive from the basics and from theories.. (kaya medyo nakakadisappoint yung review classes kasi spoon fed yung mga formulas, nde na inexplain kung pano na derive or kung ano yung underlying principle man lang kung bakit nagkaroon ng ganung formula..).. talagang sunugan ng kilay ang pag-aaral sa UP..

pareho naman magaling yung UP and La Salle (when it comes to teaching).. sa tingin ko lang, nagkatalo lang talaga sa kalidad ng estudyante.. ang hirap kasi makapasok sa UP Engg.. talagang sinasala yung mga estudyante..

Chem Eng'g is a 5 year program in almost all schools!who offer this major!

topping the board exams is more on luck and analytical skills retained but no one can claim monopoly on this because if you are to see the records of the PRC UST also has it's own share of glory in terms of topping the board.

UP Diliman graduates usually have a 100% passing because their population is small in the first place. UP quality is far better because teachers can focus on their students,however,we cannot say that the other schools are inferior to them because records usually bail them out. UST-ECE(for example) are in the 50-100 category because this are the usual number of graduates we produce, when you compare faculty resources UST-ECE also bears a competitive edge with 10 or more faculty member in the majors having obtained a masters degree in MIT-USA, princeton and the likes... when it comes to resources again we can say that we're not behind with philips,Intel,sony,acer and other electronics company providing ample help; I think these are the major reasons why UST-ECE is given a COE status by Ched.

Personally I still believe that UP Diliman maintains a high quality of engineering education but DLSU and UST are not far behind.

agent1611:

For your info, in the field CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, De La Salle University Manila has the ONLY CHED-awarded Center-of-Excellence (COE) in the Philippines.

UP's Chemical Engineering Program is only rated by the CHED as a Center of Development (COD) - a lower CHED rank than a Center-of-Excellence (COE).

UST's Chemical Engineering Program is NOT rated by the CHED as a Center-of-Excellence (COE) since it is only rated by the CHED as a Center-of-Development (COD).

SPO1:

The only reason why all De La Salle University Manila Engineering programs are 4-years only - is because DLSU-Manila operates a much more demanding and faster-paced innovative TRIMESTER SYSTEM (3-Trimesters per schoolyear) than a traditional slower-paced 5-year SEMESTRAL system.

Lazy students are easily weeded out in De La Salle's faster-paced TRIMESTER system.

My opinion:

(1) UP Diliman :)
(2) DLSU
(3) Mapua/UST

May share ako sa inyo. My prof in one of my majors shared a story about his former student that teaches at DLSU. And the stud said to him that one time, he was teaching something to his class and all he can see are blank stares from his students. I dunno what my prof wants to imply but you get the point... :D

But in facilities, hands down on DLSU, they have indeed the state-of-the-art equipments. But I woudn't give the top spot to other schools big time!

so much for the COEs and CODs... Hindi ibig sabihin na kayo na ang pinakamagaling. CHED can easily give those credits to a university-statused schools, di ba?
I must admit UP, DLSU, and UST are indeed good engineering schools.
But... I think Mapua has a lot more to offer. Huwag na kayong manlait about the facilities bcoz its a good thing that the new admin did a great renovations of the institution, installing the state-of-the-art mechanisms that only Mapua have. But it doesn't really matter, the real thing is the performance of an engineer in the real world. In my observations, many engineering firms prefer Mapua grads. Why? Kasi daw, "MAABILIDAD" . Hindi ganun katalino, pero maabilidad. And we always value this virtue. Kaya siguro pagdating ng board exams, top spots are always dominated by Mapuans. Considering that the school is only a COD accreditted by CHED. The school always produce very competent grads...
We chose to be humble, hindi ipagyabang ang kakayahan namin. Let others see what a Mapuan can do!
PEACE OUT!

gobbledygook

Aug 19, 2002, 01:02 AM

You know why companies hire MAPUA grads?

1. They don't choose jobs. They get whatever is offered to them by the company.
2. They don't suggest a very high salary.
3. They are skilled workers. They are trained to be an employee and not an employer.

With the board exam thing? I just want to inform everyone that Mapua has a way to get the top spot. They provide housing for their top students and professors coach them. Another thing, let's say they have three bright students who they think can toop the exam, they will not allow all three to take the board at the same time. In that case, there will be no competition amongst Mapuans and there is a big possibility that they will get the top spot in almost every other exam. Another thing, they review for a year. Like the recent CIVIL LICENSURE EXAM, both top 1 (PLM) and Top 2 (Mapua) reviewed for 1 year unlike the top 3(DLSU) and top4 (DLSU) who reviewed for 1 term.

a graduate from UP: ano yun, bat ganon? sana naman sabihin niya kung pano naderive yang mga yan.

another UP grad: oo nga pare, yang manning's equation na yan, binigay yung formula pero di naman alam kung pano naderive.

another UP grad: pare, sa NCTS (National Center for Transportation Studies-UP Diliman) library na lang tayo magreview!

another UP grad: oo nga! basta ako, gagawin ko sa board exam, idederive ko na lang yung mga formula. mas maganda kung alam mo yung basics and yung theory.

... *** dunno, bat kaya walang nagtatop from UP? dahil ba mas ginusto naming magderive at wag magmemorize ng sangkatutak na formula?

Based on the CHED's Official List of NCR Center of Development for Excellence and Center of Excellence
the emerging Best Engineering University in the Philippines is theAdamson University with 8 course offerings, namely,
Geology
Electrical
Electronics and Communications
Computer
Chemical
Mechanical
Civil
Industrial
while next is Mapua Institute of Technology andUniversity of the Philippines with four each, and University of Santo Tomas and Technological University of the Philippines with 3 a piece, De La Salle University with two.

The only barrier I see why others treat Adamson as just an Ordinary University is that it produces underated Board Passers.

are you referring to this site?
www.ched.gov.ph/statistics/coecods.html (http://www.ched.gov.ph/statistics/coecods.html)

if you are, then UPD has 10, Mapua has 4,UST has 6 and DLSU has 4

besides, not all schools offer geodetic engg, geology(in UP, it is not an engg course. it is offered by the college of science), mining, met engg, and dlsu does not offer EE

you twisted some facts. I agree with you that adamson is a good school in engineering programs, but don't use ched to justify your claim. you have to consider the difference between center of excellence and center of developments.

check the statistics of ched. there are only 10 COEs for eng'g/archi/tech programs. as far as i know, adamson's eng'g programs is rated as cod only and not coe. mostly, coe of eng'g was distributed to up-diliman, dlsu, and ust.

so how come adamson is the best eng'g?

Yes, totoo yan Adamson is the TRUE BEST Engineering school!!!

It's like the Potato Theory...

i'm not defending up/ust and la slle, but please check your facts about your statements ( false statement, should i say?)...

how come adamson stude topping the board exams? even in the top performing schools, you can't find adamson? so where's the best?

specifically, what board exam did an adamson grad grabs the top spot?

specifically, what board exam did adamson univ grab the top spot in the passing percentage?

even Mapua is nowhere to be found in the list of schools!

UP, La Salle and UST are now leading the country's best engineering schools.

then you have also to check your facts!

where's adamson in the list? Is Adamson consistent in the list of top schools ? I mean in every board exam per subject like ECE, EE, ME, ChE, CE?

you can't blame top hs students preferred to study in top schools because they knew where's the best!

Hi guys,
Its really hard to gauge engineering schools on board exams alone. There should be a deeper criteria to gauge them. Maybe we should list some of them and agree on some points before we could proceed. I could start with:

Graduates
Facilities
Resources
Industry Linkage
Skills
Instructors/Professors
Board Exams
Students
Specialization
Reputation

Graduate ako ng TUP - Manila not so long ago. I got some MSECE units at DLSU and have a lot of friends at Adamson University. I also have lots of colleages from MIT. TUP - Skills are well developed. I am glad we are doing good in board exams.

Keep on coming guys...

Mapuans Top the ECE and EE Board Exams

Mapuans once again proved the institute's consistency in academic performance as they figured prominently in the April 2003 licensure examinations for Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE), and Electrical Engineering (EE).

Five Mapuans landed on the top 10 slots of the ECE board exams. They are: Wilmar V. Arreola (87.85%), 1st place; Melvin D. Cu (86.65%), 4th place; Dennis M. Garce (86.30%), 7th place; Cyrus M. delos Santos (86.25%), 8th place, and Ryan L. Pondoc (86.00%), 9th place.

Four from which were achievers in MIT's 115th Commencement Exercises held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) Plenary Hall last January 28. Arreola graduated as Silver Medalist and Magna Cum Laude, and Pondoc as Cum Laude. Meanwhile, Cu and Garce were Dean's Awardees.

Meanwhile, three Mapuans also bagged top stints in the EE board exams. Anthony S. Ponce and Mark Gregory S. Montemayor (91.00%), 5th place, and Mark Ian C. Villalobos (89.05%), 10th place.

With National Passing Percentage of 33%, Mapuans figured 71% for Electrical Engineering. The passing percentage for ECE is not yet released as of press time.

Jun 7, 2003, 08:21 PM

Eh ang tanong lang.... after graduation san na ba sila nag wowork? Nag wowork rin ba sila sa mga Engineering Companies?

In my opinion dapat bawasan na ng CHED ang mga Engineering na course eh dahil nde naman applicable sa Pinas eh....... Dapat Civil Engineer,Electrical Engineer at ECE na lang mag focus.

Unang una... sa Pilipinas di tulad ng Middle East na napakaraming constructions and refineries na ginagawa na dun mo talaga masusubukan ang discipline na napag aralan mo sa engineering ....... eh sa pilipinas more on Civil lang..... roads...buildings...fly overs...... eh natalo pa nga ng FEATI yung ibang schools na sinasabi nyo.... sa Saudi puro mga taga FEATI ang mga Engineers at Designers duon.... then dito sa company na pinagtratrabahuhan ko FEATI at Mapua........ (Pero nde ako Engineer ah).......

Sa ngayon yung ibang mga ka batch ko nung HS na grad ng Engineering sa Best schools na sinasabi nyo... eh ang work ang layo sa course ginagawa nila board passers pa.

It is very common that students from not so well known schools tend to go abroad as OFWs. The reason for such is, they are not given any chance in the Philippines. Graduates of Mapua, Feati and the likes need to compete with graduates of UP, De La Salle and UST. They extremely need to be exceptional to land a job in the Philippines, noting how tough the competition is.

the_BuGs

Jun 9, 2003, 02:41 PM

Yep Tama ka dun.... pero ang benefit lang naman sa OFW's na mga engineers natin eh... yung trainings at exposure nila na hindi kayang ibigay ng private companies sa Pinas..... tulad ng mga softwares na pang Engineering... ETAP Powerstation,INTOOLS,PLC/DCS,Honeywell,Foxboro,Instrumentation,etc....... witness ko kasi eh..... then yung pag design nila ng Oil refineries and Petrochemicals........ sa Pinas ksi more on Civil Structures.... then bilang lang ang engineering international companies sa Pinas na mabibigyan ka ng tamang exposure like fluor daniel at Parson's....

May 2004 Civil Engineering Licensure Examination

Mapúa has 4 topnotchers in the May 2004 Civil Engineering Board Examination.

Mapúa took 4 out of the top 20 places in the May 2004 Civil Engineering Board Examination in which only 1,071 out of 3,197 examinees passed.

Leading the list of new Mapúan Civil Engineers and getting into the top 20 are the following:

Engr. Cesar Jr. Villafuerte Garcia - 6th Place
Engr. Alberto Reyes Soriano - 9th Place
Engr. Oliver Ian Domingo del Mundo - 13th Place
Engr. Philip Tambongco Buenaventura - 18 Place

5 Mapúans dominated ChE Board Exam

Five Mapúans dominated the top spots of Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination held last May 5, 6, and 7, 2004. Allen Salagubang led the pack grabbing the 3rd highest spot. The other four are John Paul E. Erlano (4th), Christian T. Gonzales (5th), Hertchel B. Lozano (7th), and Albert E. Tablan (10th).

Erlano, who belongs to the first batch of CCE (Chemical Engineerng and Chemistry - double degree). also placed 7th in the September 2003 Chemistry Board Exam. Gonzales and Tablan are both MIT ChE-Chm Alumni Association (MITChEChmAA) scholars. MITChEChmAA president George Ong-Tan also sponsored the place (alumni house) where our graduates stayed while preparing for the board exam. Last year's alumni house was sponsored by then president Glecy Cabrera-Estrella.

These topnotchers are all certified passers of Project Deuterium and Project Hydrogen; projects of the School of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry spearheaded by its dean, Prof. Luz Lopez-Lozano and its subject Chair Alvin R. Caparanga, in coordination with the Board Exam Committee.

Mapúa Scores Top Spots on the EE Licensure Exams

Proving consistency, three Mapúans claim first, second and thirteenth place in the recently held Electrical Engineer Licensure Examination.

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced that 1,129 out of 3,071 passed the Electrical Engineer Licensure Examination given by the Board of Electrical Engineering in Manila, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu and Legazpi this April 2004.

1st Place - Engr. Joe-mel Santos Zaporteza
2nd Place - Engr. Randy Sison de Guzman
13th Place - Engr. Bryan Jay Rapada Briones

Mapúa’s Continuing Quality Improvement Program is indeed gaining momentum in bringing the standard of engineering education and training, and performance of its students and graduates to the next higher levels.

Mechanical Engineers Licensure Examination

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced that 655 of 1,400 passed the Mechanical Engineers Licensure Examination given by the Board of Mechanical Engineering in Manila and Cebu this April 2004.

MAPÚA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY has ranked first (1st) in the schools with 60 and more examinees that passed the licensure examinations.

Engr. Harold Magtibay Cabral (85.65%) placed 5th.

About 129 of the 655 examinees or 19.69% who passed the licensure examinations are Mapuans.

Licensure Examinations for Electronics and Communications Engineers

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) recently announced that 899 out of 2,454 examinees passed the Electronics and Communications Engineer Licensure Examination given by the Board of Electronics and Communications Engineering in the cities of Manila, Baguio and Cebu this April 2004.

MAPÚA got the fourth, seventh, eight and fourteenth places in the recently concluded Licensure Examinations for Electronics and Communications Engineers given by the Professional Regulations Commission. Once again, MAPÚA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY made a mark in the Licensure Examinations by ranking first in the top performing schools in the category with 100 or more examinees.

About 229 of the 899 examinees or 25% of those who passed the licensure examination are Mapúa alumni.

The Mapúa ECE Board Topnotchers are as follows:

4th Place - Engr. Raffger Manarang Sese (86.10%)
7th Place - Engr. Roderick Padilla Castillo (84.75%)
7th Place - Engr. Ruth Grace Magboo Garcia (84.75%)
8th Place - Engr. Arvin Ian Arela Manigan (84.70%)
14th Place - Engr. Cassey Anne Pangan Pelayo (83.85%)

The Mapúa community extends its congratulations to all newly licensed engineers!

For me it's University of the Philippines and Mapua Institute of Technology.

These schools get hired by top companies.

Other schools like TIP, Feati, etc. are also good but they are not being given the same break as graduates of the abovementioned schools. But it is my experience that graduates of these schools do very well in their jobs, which may not necessarily be a factor of (not only) their education but their attitude and personality as well.

Prince_OF-Wales

May 30, 2004, 09:51 PM

The best engineering school in the Philippines is duh Ateneo de Manila University. Feati University in Quiapo is a very close second. Pero kung meron lang engineering sa JRU, hangang clerk lang ang mga eng-eng graduates ng duh Ateneo.

Feati is undergoing a facelift. Ang dami nilag ad sa mga diyaryo. I hope this is for the best since mukhang nagkaroon ng tuition hike doon and the students deserve to get what they are pating for. Same is true sa TIP na ang dami ring ads (although I prefer Feati's ads. It doesn't help na iadvertise ang cafeteria, classroom o garden ng isang school)

I believe U.P. Diliman, Manila and LB are COEs. No need to assess each of the courses these great and famous institutions offer. For instance, the moment you hear someone say he/she goes to UP, he/she's already considered the best.

U.P. is the Harvard to the Filipinos as Harvard is to what is U.P. to the Americans.

UP is even popular in the whole UK, from Scotland to Wales to Northern Ireland to England. The moment people in the UK know you have studied in UP, they all bow down to you. Yes, that’s literally speaking.

UP is the best!

Mapua grads sweep IT software dev’t contest

That young Filipino minds seem equally excel, if not edge out their American and Indian counterparts even in the technical field of information technology (I.T.) seems proven once more in the one-year software for Java-bared mobile application training and contest sponsored by Nokia. And Mapua Tech equally proved its excellence in I.T. education apart from its leadership in traditional engineering courses.

The Internet software developed by four Mapua graduates swept all top four prizes in the recently concluded “Mobile Internet Development Competition” sponsored by Nokia, European I.T. center and the German Agency of Technological Cooperation (G.T.Z.)

Prior to the selection of winners, 12 out of 34 entries were pre-selected and became concept winners. Four entries in their working prototypes were judged as the winners of the Nokia Challenge 2003.

The Mapua grads who copped the first place was Engr. John Michael Lozano, B.S. Computer Engineering, with its “My Brain Bench” entry. Lozano’s software is a mobile training designed users groom into his desired field of education, with several training modules. His prizes include free trip for two to Europe and R150,000.

Lozano’s twin brother, Engr. John Paul Lozano, an industrial engineering product of Mapua Tech won the R75,000 cash, free trip to Singapore for two for his Java-based “My Home Remedies” program – a comprehensive safe and practical health and stress advisory, management guide application through mobile phones.

Another computer engineering Mapua graduate, Engr. Louie Marco De Los Reyes’ “My Calc Buddy” – a scientific calculator tuned into a mobile phone was adjudged the 3rd best. Reyes and his project partner, Delfin Juan III, a technical consultant of the Mapua Information Technology College in Makati received R50,000 and a 6610 cellphone from Nokia. Their work, another concept winner of the Nokia Challenge, solves the problem of people in dealing with mathematical formulas allowing mobile phone users instant solutions to most difficult math problems in seconds, whenever, wherever.

MITC’s instructors Porfirio Atienza and Eugene Lozada’s “Mapping” program, another winner was declared 4th prize winner. And got R25,000 plus a Nokia phone. A highly configurable map engine, supporting the display of information requiring visual locations reference, it enables the user to configure their map to display locations of deliveries, hotels, restaurants and traffic information. The European Group (Nokia, European I.T. Center Gesma GTZ) training project trained over 18,000 professionals from school and companies at the Sun Micro Systems and had 60 original entries 12 of which were chosen “concept” winners who were awarded R25,000 each included participants from ABS-CBN, Smart Communications, SPI Technologies, Infinit-e Asia, University of the Philippines and Brandscape apart from Mapua Tech.

Winning programs also include “Broadcast” done by Infinit-e Asia a system to create short (50-character) message broadcasted in electronic billboards in specific locations in the city. The Guitar Tuner mobile software done by Paul Sorino of U.P. can make the cellphone as a standard electronic guitar tuner.

Being from UP, I am proud of my home university, and I know engineering there is one of the best in the Philippines. Kahit di maingay ang UP when it comes to board exams, alam ko na mahusay ang Eng'g lalo sa sa field ng R&D, specifically sa home department ko, EEE.

I don't think na yung enough na sukatan kung COE or not ang isang school para masabing mahusay talaga and isang school.

Ang alam ko center of dev't pa lang ang ECE program sa UP. Part ng criteria nito ang dami ng pumasa sa board. Sobrang konti ng gumagraduate sa UP, naalala ko around 30 or so lang kami from the original 200+ na kabatch ko (marami na-kick out, nagshift etc.) kasi mahirap ang EEE program sa UP. Di enough na basehan yung # ng pumasa sa board para maging "the best" ang isang school.

Proud ako kasi nung Nov 2002 na nagboard ako, 50 out of 50 kami na pumasa sa board, we received an award for the 50-99 bracket, tapos yung sumunod sa aming school (di ko maalala kung anong school) malayo sa 100% yung percentage ng passing nila. 1 pa lang (yata) ang di pumapasa ng board sa ECE from our school.

I don't know about specifics in other schools, pero I think every school naman like Mapua, Ateneo, DLSU etc. have their own engineering field competency(ies). One thing's for sure, though: UP can offer excellent engineering programs for aspiring engineers. For sure, di sila mediocre engineering graduates after college days. :)

The first and only UP isko whose interests revolve around Santo Thomas. Now, if you're not truly a fake, you're one amusing UP isko indeed. But sorry, dude. I can trace you are a Thomasian, not a UP isko and it’s useless to point them all here. With this, I hope you stop pretending to be one because it insults your self rather than for any reason.

There are only 3 kinds of UP isko in this world.

1. Those self-righteous arrogant but very, very smart. These UP isko do believe UP is supreme and nobody comes close.

2. Those very smart but acknowledge that Ateneo is the nearest rival. These people are mostly from Ateneo high school and from those who graduated from Science high Schools.

3. Those very smart but acknowledge that DLSU is the next good thing to UP. These people are mostly from La Salle high schools and the economic well off from all over the Philippines.

WALA NA PO UST is NEXT to UP na taga UP... especially in the field of Engineering. UP Eng'g students do believe that the 2nd best Eng'g school in the Philippines is very far behind.

so stop pretending...

IMHO, you are correct. Being from UP Eng'g, I think that we are not even conscious of how other schools are doing. I do recognize, however, that other schools may have their own fortes as I posted earlier.

I suddenly remembered one thing. I have this EE subject where some of my classmates complained why lecture notes were not available online. Our professor said that they received unconfirmed reports that the materials were being copied, that was why they stopped putting materials online. I am not going to mention what school as it may break hell here, but learning that only made me prouder that even other schools go after the materials we have.

And one more thing. I remembered this respected professor once said that they are not teaching us to top board exams. She said that they teach us to become competent engineers when we are already in the industry. That happened when people (I don't know if they were schoolmates or not) asked why UP was not topping Eng'g board exams.

Now I am guilty that I chose not to be immersed in the industry at the moment. At least I miss sweating over circuit boards and causing shorts. :p

I can't seem to classify myself in your 1, 2, 3 kinds of iskos, royalblood, but i think i am 2-ish or 3-ish (I am kidding, of course). :p

May 2004 Civil Engineering Licensure Examination

Mapúa has 4 topnotchers in the May 2004 Civil Engineering Board Examination.

Mapúa took 4 out of the top 20 places in the May 2004 Civil Engineering Board Examination in which only 1,071 out of 3,197 examinees passed.

Leading the list of new Mapúan Civil Engineers and getting into the top 20 are the following:

Engr. Cesar Jr. Villafuerte Garcia - 6th Place
Engr. Alberto Reyes Soriano - 9th Place
Engr. Oliver Ian Domingo del Mundo - 13th Place
Engr. Philip Tambongco Buenaventura - 18 Place

5 Mapúans dominated ChE Board Exam

Five Mapúans dominated the top spots of Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination held last May 5, 6, and 7, 2004. Allen Salagubang led the pack grabbing the 3rd highest spot. The other four are John Paul E. Erlano (4th), Christian T. Gonzales (5th), Hertchel B. Lozano (7th), and Albert E. Tablan (10th).

Erlano, who belongs to the first batch of CCE (Chemical Engineerng and Chemistry - double degree). also placed 7th in the September 2003 Chemistry Board Exam. Gonzales and Tablan are both MIT ChE-Chm Alumni Association (MITChEChmAA) scholars. MITChEChmAA president George Ong-Tan also sponsored the place (alumni house) where our graduates stayed while preparing for the board exam. Last year's alumni house was sponsored by then president Glecy Cabrera-Estrella.

These topnotchers are all certified passers of Project Deuterium and Project Hydrogen; projects of the School of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry spearheaded by its dean, Prof. Luz Lopez-Lozano and its subject Chair Alvin R. Caparanga, in coordination with the Board Exam Committee.

Mapúa Scores Top Spots on the EE Licensure Exams

Proving consistency, three Mapúans claim first, second and thirteenth place in the recently held Electrical Engineer Licensure Examination.

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced that 1,129 out of 3,071 passed the Electrical Engineer Licensure Examination given by the Board of Electrical Engineering in Manila, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu and Legazpi this April 2004.

1st Place - Engr. Joe-mel Santos Zaporteza
2nd Place - Engr. Randy Sison de Guzman
13th Place - Engr. Bryan Jay Rapada Briones

Mapúa’s Continuing Quality Improvement Program is indeed gaining momentum in bringing the standard of engineering education and training, and performance of its students and graduates to the next higher levels.

Mechanical Engineers Licensure Examination

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced that 655 of 1,400 passed the Mechanical Engineers Licensure Examination given by the Board of Mechanical Engineering in Manila and Cebu this April 2004.

MAPÚA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY has ranked first (1st) in the schools with 60 and more examinees that passed the licensure examinations.

Engr. Harold Magtibay Cabral (85.65%) placed 5th.

About 129 of the 655 examinees or 19.69% who passed the licensure examinations are Mapuans.

Licensure Examinations for Electronics and Communications Engineers

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) recently announced that 899 out of 2,454 examinees passed the Electronics and Communications Engineer Licensure Examination given by the Board of Electronics and Communications Engineering in the cities of Manila, Baguio and Cebu this April 2004.

MAPÚA got the fourth, seventh, eight and fourteenth places in the recently concluded Licensure Examinations for Electronics and Communications Engineers given by the Professional Regulations Commission. Once again, MAPÚA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY made a mark in the Licensure Examinations by ranking first in the top performing schools in the category with 100 or more examinees.

About 229 of the 899 examinees or 25% of those who passed the licensure examination are Mapúa alumni.

The Mapúa ECE Board Topnotchers are as follows:

4th Place - Engr. Raffger Manarang Sese (86.10%)
7th Place - Engr. Roderick Padilla Castillo (84.75%)
7th Place - Engr. Ruth Grace Magboo Garcia (84.75%)
8th Place - Engr. Arvin Ian Arela Manigan (84.70%)
14th Place - Engr. Cassey Anne Pangan Pelayo (83.85%)

4. UST

5. others................

Ateneo will no be included, even in the choices 'coz ADMU grads were not able to take the board exams because the PRC board can allow them 'coz their subjects are not updated and do not satisfy the minimum requirement.....

Mapúa is the best, not only because of its credentials, but at most, the most number of the TOP slots in the PRC's Licensure exams are occupied by Mapúans.

but can you please show the passing rates of your school in last ten years? and the successful alumni of Mapua?

i know mas maraming bumabagsak na Mapua examinees kesa sa passers. hindi pa ata tumataas ng more than 50% ang passing rate ng MIT in any Engineering board exams.
and this may sound annoying, pero Mapua produces MEDIOCRE engineers. they usually work under the management of UP or DLSU alumni. at times UST graduates are more succesul than mapua graduates.

pero don't worry, now that Ateneo is offering engineering courses, hindi na kayo mag-iisa as second-rate engineering schools. :)

"MAPÚA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY has ranked first (1st) in the schools with 60 and more examinees that passed the licensure examinations. "

this^ comes from the recent board exams...

an do u have proofs na low ang passing rate ng Mapúa?! puro ka salita eh!!!

UP's averarage passing rate is about 85-95%, its high rate, but their takers are about 25-35, compare to Mapúa, about above 150.... eh if Mapúa would just send about 40 takers, laging 100% passing rate nyan! and, duh?! take a look the recods of the PRC in the whole examination for licensure in engineering, more than half, about 63% of the TOP NOTCHERS are Mapúans, in ECE, EE, CE, ME, CHE, EnSE..... if you want you have doubts, try to confirm in this site: www.prc.gov

if you have the point, show some facts, not only words!!!

and duh?! how can Ateneo de Manila can catch up fast???!!! eh, hnd nga sila nakakatake ng board exams eh!!! daig pa nga sila ng De La Salle Lipa, Ateneo de Davao,and they are far behind sa mga annexes ng Mapúa like TIP, TUP, PUP, FEATI, AMA-QC, AMA-Makati, UE, FEU, and AdU.....
if Ateneo is Fast catching, give some facts, ont onlyu words!!!

and take this, why is that Ateneo de Manila and UP were accounted as the TOP schools in LAW?! it because they have the most number of TOP NOTCHERS, even though their passing rates is not quite high, it's just close to 50%, if u have doubt, try to visit these sites: www.prc.gov and www.peyups.edu.ph

easy as it may seem(hehe), upcat is more of an IQ test. sadly, it doesn't test your patience and will to self-study. why, is your ustet able to do it? being kicked out of your progam in up doesn't mean you're not smart enough, it just means you can't cope with the style of teaching and learning in the university. i believe most up students are smart, but some of them don't have the right attitude and dedication. come on, the founder of stanford was a kick-out from harvard. maybe he didn't fit the "harvard way" or whatever you want to call it but definitely he is a smart person.

but it is not a reason for other universities like yours (pardon me) to spoon-feed their students and produce graduates who can not compete with the products of NUS, NTU, Univ. Malaya, Chulalongkorn, Univ. of Tokyo, or Seoul National University when it comes to research and innovation. UP is determined to be among the region's (eventually, world's) best that is why we have this kind of education. the few students who graduate from our engineering is a result of our pathetic high school system. i firmly believe that if you subject the best students of say, singapore, germany or uk, to the style of up education they will have a lower "mortality rate" not because they are superior to filipinos but because they are more prepared to for that kind of learning.

it's the system's fault my dear. for christ sake, when i was in high school, i didn't understand what was being taught at kowledge channel. those parabola ek ek. yet american hs students are the ones solving the equations. our counterparts in chinese highschools like grace christian already had an experience solving problems given in up's math 17. when i was in my private catholic school, we didn't have any of those. what more can you expect from non-science public high schools? our counterparts in india are already been exposed to calculus and matrices in their secondary schools.

to answer your second question, hmm.. just ask the jesuits and mr. yuchengco.

gtg, i'll reply this moning na lang. ok?

nasala na rin ang mga nakapsok sa UP... by UPCAT.

salang sala naman ang graduates... same goes with Ateneo and Lasalle.

in ust, they say that if you can comprehend the story of snow white and the 7 dwarves, your english is good enough and you get admitted.

that's right

that is the reason why up includes the hs grades in the computation of the upg. but lately it has not been very effective. why? because in most cases, those who get high grades are the kabisote's and worse, the sipsip's. come on, no phil high school will give you a high grade for decoding encrypted messages. you get high grades by memorizing this and enumerating that. ever wondered why we can't produce a Turing?

besides, do you think all ust students will survive in a university like Yale. it's already the no. 3 (or 4?) in the US. in the same manner, i don't think all UP students will survive the tough atmosphere at Harvard. you can look at it in two ways: a. filipinos are mentally inferior to americans, or; b. our students are not well-prepared

figures don't lie, our hs students ranked 2nd to the lowest in the region. as a result, UP faces a decreasing pool of competent applicants. with that, an increasing chance of accepting future drop-outs. it's all about statistics dude. :)

naguguluhan lang kasi ako sa logic na kaya hindi nasasala ang pumapasok sa up ay dahil palpak ang mga high schools. and the fact that hindi nga nasasala ang pumapasok sa up ay isa na itong dahilan na sabihing palpak din ang up?

in other words, may refuses din ang up? hmmm...

btw, AdMU now offers Bs MSE and Bs CE...

:glee:some of your schoolmates did claim that your school is the best when it comes to engineering...:glee:

"there are only five(5) schools in Engineering and Technology in the Philippines....

1. Mapúa Institute of Technology (Intramuros)
2. University of the Philippines (Diliman)
3. De La Salle University (Main)
4. University of Sto. Thomas
5. Others......

this is based on the results of the PRC's Board Exams, Engineering and Technology practice, and Performance in Field both Local and Overseas!"

and a big NO! u said na pwdeng maka-take ng exams ang kahit sinong student?! duh?! eh Ateneo nga hnd nakaktake ng board exams 'coz hnd sila allowed ng CHED at ng PRC... mag0isip ka nga?!

and, Yes, having high passing rate doesnt mean that the school is the top school, but HAVING THE MOST NUMBER OF TOP NOTHCERS IN EE, ECE, ME, CHE, CE, EnSE, proves that the school is the TOP school in Engineering.... you can check the site of prc : www.prc.gov, and if u insist, u can go to the prc headquarters and ask for the list of the TOP 20 examiners per Engineering Board exam in the history of the Licensure exams..... Mapúa has the Most Number of the TOP NOTCHERS in EE, ECE, ME, CE, CHE, EnSe.... it is statistically proven. (62% of the TOP Notchers are Mapúans).... if insist you can clarify this at the PRC if you have doubts, ang sa akin lang, eh i have facts and not only words... and also, for a fact that UP's College of Engineering is very good, 'coz primarily, the school is the best school the the goverment can offer and it is funded and has one of the highest part of the national budget......

actually hindi almost... kungdi LAHAT libre.. why don't u ask mr.besavilla? even the books are free, even the small ones for UP students.. even yung refresher course is free...

and mr.chain_saw, i believe that u couldn't understand quite a sarcastic post when i said everybody could take the board exams. Of course it is a prerequesite to graduate with an engineering degree. I didn't mean my post LITERALLY for you to read it that way. :rolleyes: What I meant is that the way the exams is conducted (i.e. multiple choice, just putting values in formulas), it is quite easy to pass the said examination just by plugging formulas. This alone gives someone who is good at making intelligent guesses a 25% chance of passing the said examination. Biruin mo multiple choice tapos 4 lang ang pagpipilian. Why not make the exam a problem solving examination wherein you have to provide a detailed and well-thought solution for you to arrive at the correct answer, just like the old days. Maybe this time i should be asking you kung nag-iisip ka nga o copy paste lang talaga ang pagpost mo???

You may have some facts, BUT not all the facts. This is what i believe some other people in this thread are desperately trying to point for you to see.
Try to look at this other criterias..
1. How about yung written publications, researches or studies done by alumni of your school that had significant impact on the fields of engineering?
2. How about the recent advances in learning (not only through facilities) did your school have acquired through the years?
3. How about the "value for money" of the education provided by your school? Ano pipiliin mo.. yung school na mababa ang tuition fee (7,000) or mataas ang tuition fee (40,000 to 60,000) pero both are known and honored for their quality.
4. Ano ba yung mga pioneering works ng school mo that could be envied by other engineering schools?
5. And many more i am quite tired to think of.

Cge... going by statistics you have said that Mapua produced more topnotchers in the recent board exams. Ok it is a given fact. Pero ang tanong ko lang, eh 150 plus naman kayong kumuha. Diba eng'g student ka naman, dapat relative to the number of students who took the exams ang basehan.
kung 4 nga topnotcher ng mapua, eh 150 naman ang kumuha (ilan din yung percentage ng bumagsak?).
eh kung 3 naman ang topnotcher namin, less than 30 naman kame tapos bibihira pang may bumagsak. see my point??

eh sa laki din naman ng tuition mo, aber dapat lang na may magtop sa inyo.

:)

approx. 2,000 freshman students out of 70,000 applicants. siguro po nasagot ko na yung tanong mo.

wala naman sa budget considerations kung ilan ang papasa sa isang course or subject. basta nakapasa ka eh di pasado ka

eto na lang. sa block namin of 30+ students, only 6 graduated on time. considering the fact that almost 90% of our block graduated with honors nung high school. mataas po ang mortality rate. yung mga delayed na grumadweyt ay "salang sala" din per se kasi they did not graduate easily, they have to earn it.

what i mean is that hindi sure ticket na porke honor student ka eh papasa ka na sa course. Maaring matanggap ka sa UP as freshman pero hindi ka guaranteed grumadweyt.

behold, evolution has made a u-turn :)

hey dude, i did not say up is palpak. in fact, our school is still the best. and flunking the board exams doesn't mean up is palpak like what you posted in the other thread. grabe, it seems you are quite slow in understanding. i have been clear in saying that the quality of hs nowadays is going down. so, up is left with less competent students. gets? stop giving ust a bad name. with that level of comprehension, i don't think you passed the ustet. i know thomasians are smarter than you are.
