MIT or UST

[philipacosta26]

ay kuya clawed_out tinamaan ka pala?

hahahahahaha

di ba po Tomasino ka? Nag graduate ka sa UST po?

What year po?

Kuya clawed_out nakapasa po ako sa UST.

Pero academic placement lang ako. siguro po wala pa to nung grumaduate ka po.

May Academic Placement status po ako sa UST. which means naka PASA ako sa UST pero hindi sa pinili kong program.

Academic Placement - applicant did not met the required cut-off scores of his/her choice. however, he/she qualify for the minimum cut-off set by university. thus, he/she will be considered in any programs that still have available slot.

And nakalagay rin sa letter ko na Academic Placement is equal to PASSED.

And I'm very thankful that I at least deserve to be a THOMASIAN student since I PASSED other programs/courses.


ibang neighbor ko kasi DID NOT QUALIFY eh.

[philipacosta26]

saan ba graduate yung mga kakilala mo ? baka naman kasi 'mapili' sila sa trabaho, at board passer na ba sila ?

sa mga matataas na university. well known! hindi ko na po sasabihin yun.

yung isa nursing, yung school niya is one of the best in the philippines but kahit isa walang nag ooffer sa kanya ng trabaho knowing the FACT na napaka prestigious ng pinanggalingan niya.

ayun nag titinda ng gamot sa Drug store. Pero part time lang yun.

yung isa naman is accountancy - board passer siya, pero di siya makakuha ng trabaho. marami na siyang pinasukan pero part time lang. nag top pa nga yung school niya sa CPA board exam.

pero ayun, nag hahanap parin ng trabaho. hehe

sa pag kakaalam ko ang accountancy ang pinaka madaling mapasukan ng trabaho kasi flexible siya kahit saan basta involve ang accounting.

ang pag kakaalam ko rin sa kaibigan kong accountancy na yan is cashier ng SM.

[philipacosta26]

exactly,

wala parin talaga sa school yan.

nasa tao yan haha

[coffeeland]

Another thing to consider is that Mapua is offering engineering courses
that can be completed in four years, compared to UST which I believe
is five. That is of course, if he doesn't incur any failure during his stay.

Mapua's tuition and fees are a lot more expensive,
if I'm not mistaken it costs around 80k+ annually, and UST at 45k+.

I have friends coming from both of these schools and I must say that
whatever school he choose, he won't be disappointed.

Good luck!

[imnogood0012]

^ pana-panahon din ba ang "for the last X amount of years?"

Mapua is good. There is no doubt about that, but the quality has declined for almost a decade now.

That should say something.

yeah!! tama balak ko sana dating magtake ng entrance exam sa MIT kaya lang mas alam kong mas maganda sa UST kaya yun sa UST na lang ako nagtest hahaha. UST's FACULTY OF ENGINEERING is BEtter than MIT's

[imnogood0012]

naririnig ko lang to, pag raw submission na ng resumes, sinosort out *** *** mga applicants into two groups 1st group- applicants na nag-aral sa UP DLSU ADMU saka UST the 2nd group- other schools raw, im not sure kung totoo hahaha

Also Mapua, dahil ang mapua ang may pinaka maraming connections sa iba't ibang company sa Philippines. Hindi lang company, as in well known company dito sa Pinas.

Halos, pareho ng connections ang DLSU at MAPUA. Kaya pag nag graduate ka sa dalawang institusyon na ito ay may sasalo agad sa iyong company.

kung hindi ako nag kakamali ang may ari ng Mapua ay may malaking ambag sa DLSU.

Magiging MALAYAN UNIVERSITY na ata ang mapua.

and yung name ng Mapua Institute of technology ay magiging pangalan ng College of Engineering nila.

Ang engineering ng Mapua ang pinaka unang inaprubahan ng PACUCAO na Level IV.

Pinaka mataas na level na binibigay sa mga programa/kurso sa isang pamantasan/institusyon.

[MeTaPzycho]

sabi ng isang kakilala kong prof na taga mapua. dapat daw yung mga student sa mapua tinuturukan na ng steroids.

it's PACUCOA. correct me if im wrong, but UST's faculty of engineering is not evaluated by PACUCOA but by PAASCU (though programs such as pharmacy, nursing, medical technology, OT, tourism etc are evaluated by PACUCOA) so we cannot compare the schools' level of accreditation.

anyway, for mapua:

CIVIL ENGINEERING - Level IV
ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING - Level III
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SANITARY ENGINEERING - LEVEL III
INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING - LEVEL III
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING - LEVEL III
COMPUTER ENGINEERING - LEVEL III
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - LEVEL II
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING - LEVEL II
MATERIAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING - LEVEL II


Also, Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Engineering (CpE), and Electronics Engineering (ECE) applied for ABET and was visited by the accreditors last year. Decisions on the accreditation of these programs are expected to be released by ABET in 2010.

In January 2010, five other engineering programs applied for non-domestic accreditation with ABET. Campus visits of these programs are expected on the months of September to December of this year.


***ABET is the recognized accreditor for college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering and technology in the United States. For students, graduation from an ABET- accredited programs signifies adequate preparation for entry into the profession. In fact, many employers overseas require graduation from an ABET-accredited program as a minimum qualification. ABET accreditation therefore shall make possible the mobility of MAPUA engineering graduates to practice in the United States of America and in other countries where ABET is recognized.

Go for Mapua. It's still one of the best engineering school. If you dont have the money, go to UST.

[imnogood0012]

nakakatawa naman, kung gaano kagaganda ang mga comments nio tungkol sa MIT ganon naman kapanget ang performance ng MIT sa board exams hahaha

[makulitz]

I am a Mapua Alumnus (CE ’06), have passed the licensure exam 4 years ago and working here in UAE for 2 years already.

May disadvantage kasi ang quarterm (kami ang first batch ’02). Mabilis kasi ang pacing ng turo at ang tendency, merong mga topics sa course syllabus na hindi na na-discuss at siyempre, disadvantage yun sa estudyante. But the last time I’ve checked the website, they updated it already. Mas dumami ang subjects kasi mas specific na at tingin ko mas matututukan na kung ganun.

Pero may advantage din ang quarterm dahil we graduated after 4 years. I got ahead of my profession quite early and now I’m working abroad, well-paid in my work at an early age. Hindi ko masasabi na “hilaw” ako to be a Civil Engineer dahil I feel competent when I’m with my co-Engineers from other countries.

Problema lang sa MIT ang retention policy (same old topic) kaya mababa ang passing rate. Yung mga kakilala ko, 5 times ng bagsak sa isang subject nandun pa din. Pwede pa mag-appeal para hindi ma-kickout. Medyo nagiging business na din kasi. Sana ginagawan na ng paraan.

One of the best things Mapua can offer is after grad, it is quite easy to find work (based on mine and batch mates' experience). Kapag interview mo, malaki chance na Mapuan na Senior engineer/manager ang interviewer mo. So may advantage ka na. Pakita mo na lang na you deserve that spot. Isa pa, may career services na tinatawag ang MIT. Some companies abroad conduct in-campus recruitment and they get a great number of engineers from fresh grad/alumni. Some of my friends are working already in SG and some in Middle East countries. Kahit noong time ko, the company that hired us here in UAE got our name for the grad list of our batch to be their cadet engineers.

Maganda pa din mag-aral sa Mapua dahil sa mga nasabi ko sa taas. But if you have the chance to enter UP, DLSU or UST, and then go for these schools. In my honest opinion, Mapua is a good school but maybe not the best. But regardless of your school, you can be the best in your profession if you only have the confidence, knowledge and right attitude.

[jayjay03]

Pangit ang performance ng Mapua sa board kasi pangit yung curriculum nung mga naunang batch ng nagstart yung quarterm parang ginawang experimental, sa batch 2007 lang yata medyo umayos yung curriculum na halos every term may exit exam sa particular courses na board related. And kung magbibigay ng opinyon, sana wag na manira ng ibang school.

[tonixthethird]

nakakatawa naman, kung gaano kagaganda ang mga comments nio tungkol sa MIT ganon naman kapanget ang performance ng MIT sa board exams hahaha

what we do here is we give the TS the facts. As a mapuan, i speak for my school, i lay down the facts, i give the strengths of the institute (e.g. accreditation status) and as far as im concern walang nakakatawa dun. and yes, hindi impressive ang performance ng mapua sa boards. .

tanong anong silbi ng accreditation kung hindi ka papasa sa board??

[waw_kalabaw]

papogi malamang.. bobo mo naman..

[tonixthethird]

accreditation body basically assess Program Educational Objectives, Program Outcomes, Curriculum, Faculty, Facilities etc. In short, given the accreditation, you are assured that the institution prepares you to be a competitive graduate to practice your profession. And yes when i say competitive it's not bounded by just passing the multiple choice board exam.

Anyway, i respect your opinion and i still believe that passing the board exam makes you ahead of others.

Nice answer tonix. Tama iyan, just give the facts about MIT. Basta no school bashing ha. Wala sa bukabolaryo ng Mapuans iyan. Iyan din payo ko sa mga Mapuans na sasagot dito at natutuwa ako at wala pa namang gumagawang mang-bash. Ipakita natin na ang Mapuans ay mature at propesyonal kapag tumalakay ng isang paksa.

By the way, kudos sa Overheard mo sa FB. Ang dami mo ng kasapi ha, lagpas isang libo na. Keep it up!

About sa tanong ni TS bago ko sagutin ang tanong mo TS ito ang tanong ko muna sa iyo; may PEX account ba ang utol mo? O kaya nababasa ba niya itong mga sagot dito sa sinulid mo?
