MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Freshmen,
You now embark on a journey of several years that will prepare you for your life as a professional or an
entrepreneur. College is where you will broaden your intellectual horizons, sharpen your mind, gain
competencies in your chosen field of study and, perhaps, even find your lifes passion.
The world has gone global. We have tried to capture for you what it would take to be a successful
practitioner on the international stage and made it our educational objective. This does not mean that you
will be irrelevant at the home front, for even here international standards should apply in the various
professions. After all, in this day and age all significant Philippine-based companies cannot but have global
connections.
This school has a long tradition of academic excellence that you will soon experience and be called upon to
uphold. But all the academic preparation in the world can come to naught if one did not have the proper
values to go with it. Therefore, development of character should be every bit as important as development of
the mind.
College is an exciting time for life and learning experiences. You are here not just to pass subjects but to learn
and grow. We hope that here at Mapa you will have a wonderful, if mostly challenging, time that you can
cherish for the rest of your life.

HISTORY
The MAPA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY is a private, non-sectarian institution of higher learning founded on
25 January 1925 by Don Tomas Mapa, an Architecture graduate of Cornell University in the USA and the
first registered Filipino architect.
He envisioned an educational institution that shall emphasize the importance of science and technology and
create an impact on the economy and the quality of life of Filipinos. The Institute was founded as a private
non-sectarian institute of higher learning pioneering in technical education. Initially a night school, it started
with 80 students enrolled in Civil Engineering and Architecture programs. Classes were held in a rented
commercial building on Carriedo Street in Quiapo, Manila.
Three years later, the Institute offered a high school to give students a better foundation for a higher
technical education.
By 1934, three programs had been added to the list of program offerings - Mining Engineering, Chemical
Engineering and Chemistry - and by 1940, two more were added Mechanical Engineering and Electrical
Engineering.
Mapa was not spared from the ravages of war but it resumed operations after the liberation of Manila,
rising again in a new site bounded by Doroteo Jose and Misericordia Street (now Don Tomas Mapa Street)
in Sta. Cruz, Manila.
In the late 1950s, the Institute branched out to Intramuros, housing the School of Architecture and the upper
Engineering programs. The School of Basic Studies (General Engineering) and the High School department
remained at the Doroteo Jose compound.
The tradition of academic excellence established by Don Tomas was carried on even after his demise on 22
December 1965. His only son, Don Oscar B. Mapa, took over the presidency armed with the commitment to
the furtherance of the vision of the founder of the Institute.
With the expansion of its facilities, the Intramuros complex was ready to take the entire collegiate
department in 1973.
Concurrent with the physical expansion program was the introduction of more programs: Industrial
Engineering in 1972, Industrial Design in 1976, Electronics and Communications Engineering in 1979, and
Computer Engineering in 1983.
Today, the Institute offers 25 baccalaureate programs. It also offers 17 graduate programs Master of
Science in Architecture Education, Master of Science in Chemistry, Master of Science in Geoinformatics,
Master of Science in Geotechnical Engineering, Master of Science in Environmental Engineering, and Master
of Engineering. It has a population of about 12,000 students.
All efforts of the Institute to establish a culture of excellence in education have been paying off. Its graduates
continuously perform well in licensure examinations. With high passing rate, Mapa has consistently
produced topnotchers. A big number of Mapa graduates now occupy important positions in private and
government institutions.
12
HISTORY
To ensure quality education, the Institute employs outstanding faculty members who are highly qualified in
terms of academic degrees and teaching experience. The qualifications of these teachers are enhanced
through scholarship grants for higher learning as well as attendance in conventions and seminars to keep
abreast of the latest in teaching approaches. Excellence in teaching is always encouraged, acknowledged,
and rewarded.
When President Oscar B. Mapa passed away on 17 March 1998, his son, Architect Oscar Benjamin C.
Mapa, Jr., took over his duties until December 1999, when the ownership of the Institute was passed on to
a business conglomerate headed by Ambassador Alfonso T. Yuchengco.
Ambassador Yuchengco, a long time benefactor of economically disadvantaged students, believes that
Mapa should help address the demands of the new millennium for quality professionals in order to achieve
economic progress and move the country forward. His vision is to develop Mapa into an international
center of engineering, architecture, information technology (IT), business, health, and social science
education. Mapa takes a lead role in producing graduates who offer world-class professional services in the
knowledge-based global economy of today.
In response to this vision, the incumbent president of the Institute, Dr. Reynaldo B. Vea, has placed the
strengthening of the curricular programs on top of his agenda. The Institute has responded to the challenge
of globalization in order to produce graduates who are at par with their foreign counterparts. The recent
grant of accreditation by the US-based ABET to its 10 engineering and computing programs, the first in the
country and in East Asia, is a testament to the success of Mapas efforts in this regard.
Mapa also integrates and puts primary emphasis on IT because it is considered vital to global
competitiveness in the workplace.
The new Mapa has started to establish linkages with other technological schools and cyber technological
institutions so that Mapans will have global access to knowledge and techniques. It has also improved its
infrastructures to enhance the teaching and learning environment. It is also building up its research
capabilities.
With the inspiration of Ambassador Yuchengco and with President Vea at the helm, Mapa can look forward
to more fruitful years ahead.
13
CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
To complement the outcomes-based approach to education adopted by Mapa in 2004, the Continuous
Quality Improvement Office (CQIO) was created in the same year. The office has the mandate to consistently
move the school toward higher levels of attainment of the program educational objectives and desired
learning outcomes of the Institutes academic programs. In doing so, it ensures that the P-D-C-A (Plan-Do-
Check-Act) approach to continuous quality improvement is strictly implemented by the schools and academic
departments for purposes of academic program improvement. It conducts internal quality audits to check
compliance with mandatory, statutory, and regulatory requirements. CQIO also manages and coordinates all
activities relevant to the accreditation of academic programs by both local and foreign accrediting bodies.
INITIATIVES
1. ABET Accreditation
As a move toward realizing its vision to be an international center of excellence in education, Mapa
has been determinedly pursuing the accreditation of its academic programs by the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET). ABET is the recognized accreditor for college and
university programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and technology in the US and 23
other countries. An ABET accreditation is an assurance that a college or university program meets the
quality of standards established for the profession for which it prepares its students. To date, Mapa
has 10 accredited programs.
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET are the following:
Electrical Engineering
Electronics Engineering
Computer Engineering
Civil Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Environmental and Sanitary Engineering
Industrial Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of ABET are the following:
Computer Science
Information Technology
2. PACUCOA Accreditation
CQIO oversees preparations for the PACUCOA (Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities
Commission on Accreditation) accreditation of Mapa academic programs. Relative to this, it checks
the readiness of an academic program for an accreditation visit by ensuring that all accreditation
requirements are fully met. To date, 13 academic programs of the Institute have been accredited by
PACUCOA.
14
CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
CQIO spearheaded the preparations and the compilation of exhibits for use in the evaluation of the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Center of Development (COD)/Center of Excellence. Mapa
has two academic programs that are recognized by CHED as Centers of Development for IT
education, namely Computer Science and Information Technology.
The academic program Chemical Engineering was the first engineering program at Mapa to be
recognized by CHED as a Center of Development (COD) from 2000 to 2003. When the Commission
again launched its COD program, seven engineering programs of Mapa were evaluated in 2008 in
line with their applications for COD for Engineering, namely:
Civil Engineering
Environmental and Sanitary Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Electronics Engineering
Computer Engineering
Industrial Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
All these programs have been recognized as Centers of Development for Engineering by CHED.

ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
2. Students whose midterm grades are failing and who stop attending their classes after the midterm examinations
3. Students who stop attending their classes at any time without officially withdrawing their courses through the Office of
the Registrar
4. Students who have accumulated a number of absences equivalent to 20% of the prescribed number of school days in
one (1) quarter.
In case of extraordinary or special circumstance, the Dean or Department Head can approve the request, on a case-to-case basis,
after weighing all factors and considerations which would properly justify the giving of a grade of I.
The grade of I for a course outside the program of study of a student shall not affect his/her scholarship privileges.
The grade of I for a course within the program of study shall disqualify a student from his/her academic scholarship.
The grade of I shall not be included in the computation of the general weighted average for a particular quarter.
No general weighted average shall be reflected in the grade report if all courses for a particular quarter are given the grade of I.
The grade of I must be completed within the next two quarters for undergraduate programs and three (3) quarters for post
graduate programs.
If the student fails to complete the requirements within the prescribed period, the grade of I lapses and the student shall be
required to repeat the course.
During the prescribed period of completion, the student may opt to re-enroll the course in lieu of completing the requirements; in
such case, he will have to repeat the same course and satisfy all its requirements. The student shall inform his Section Chief at the
Registrars Office of his intent to re-enroll the course and accomplish the necessary documentations.
Requirements for completion of grade:
Permit to complete form (available at the Customer Service Section of the Office of the Registrar)
Completion form signed by the professor and dean/subject chair concerned
Payment for completion of grade
Requirements to re-enroll an incomplete course:
Request Form to re-enroll an incomplete course

THE GRADE of SA
(SPECIAL AUDIT)
The grade of SA is given to students with very slim chance of passing the course. Students are advised by the faculty to apply for SA
at the Registrars Office.
The grade of SA is given only on the condition that they continue to attend the class till the end of the quarter.
Students with a SA grade do not qualify for awards and scholarships.
Students with a SA grade will not be given tuition discount privileges.
AUDIT COURSES
All students who would like to audit courses must seek the approval of the respective Dean or Subject Chair and must pay the
corresponding full tuition.
Audit courses will not be reflected in the students Transcript of Records (TOR).
All audit courses will be given a grade of Au. This grade will not be included in the computation of quarterly weighted average.
A student desiring to withdraw a course must do so not later than the deadline set by the Office of the Registrar. Any student who is
allowed by the Registrar to withdraw the course for justifiable reasons shall be given a grade of W (OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL).
A student wishing to withdraw a course must fill out the request form at the Customer Service Section of the Office of the Registrar.
A student caught cheating during the examination shall not be allowed to withdraw a course; he must be reported to the Office of
the Prefect of Discipline (OPD) for proper action.
Students who intend to withdraw a course shall obtain clearance from the OPD and the Office of the Registrar.
A student may withdraw any course except PE and NSTP.
64
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
Withdrawal of a lecture course that is a corequisite of a laboratory course constitutes withdrawing both the lecture and the
laboratory courses
In cases wherein the student fails to officially withdraw a course, the faculty member shall be guided by the following:
The grade of W can neither be removed nor completed. It has no bearing on the rules regarding refunds or payments made as
stipulated in a memorandum from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
Any academic activity (e.g. written and oral exams, completion of grades, etc.) involving a student is considered official only when
the student is officially enrolled during a particular term.
In cases when no particular course or courses are available for student registration, the student must apply for residency status. He
must enroll and pay for the corresponding residency fee.
The residency fee which is the counterpart of the prevailing registration fee entitles the student to the use of the libraries in the
campus.
The enrollment and payment of the residency fee may be accomplished at any time during the term but always prior to the
scheduling of any academic activity involving the student.
A student who lacks the completion of a dissertation, a thesis or research practicum to graduate from a program must pay the
residency fee for every quarter until he becomes eligible for graduation. This requirement however is waived once the student
officially applies for leave of absence (LOA).
Prior to the issuance of a Completion Request Form to a student with an incomplete grade (I), the Office of the Registrar shall
check if the student is officially enrolled during the term. If not, the student must first enroll and pay the corresponding residency
fee.
Even if the student is only enrolled in residency, that quarter will be included in the computation of his or her total number of
terms where he/she is in residence.
65
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
AWARDS
Undergraduate List Awards:
Every end of the quarter, there are two undergraduate academic list awards given per program: the Presidents List Award and the
Deans List Award.
4. For a student enrolled in double or triple degree programs, his/her QWA in the previous quarter, notwithstanding the nature of
courses taken, shall be considered in the determination of the Deans List Awards in all the programs he/she is officially
enrolled in.
Baccalaureate Awards:
The awards are subject to some or all of the following general requirements:
1. Academic. The student must not have obtained a failing grade in any academic course.
2. Residency. The student must have completed in the Institute a minimum of 75% of the total units required for the degree.
The time of residency of a student is the number of elapsed quarters from first-time enrollment to graduation minus the
quarters when he officially cancelled his enrollment or took an official leave of absence. His time of residency must be no
more than one quarter beyond the regular number of quarters indicated in his program of study. In the case of a
transferee, his program of study must be defined at the time of his admission to the Institute.
a. In the case of students doing International Practicum or Research, the number of quarters indicated in their
contract will be added as regular quarters in their program of study.
3. Disciplinary. The student must not have/had a record of any disciplinary action meted out against him/her during his/her
stay in the Institute.

Developmental Advising.
With the concerted efforts of the triad, Academic Advising, Peer Advising, and Developmental Advising, the Center offers the Early
Warning Program (EWP). This program aims to assist students to have an academic status of OK.
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic advising is the first of the triad which involves the faculty members who are designated as academic advisers. They take
care of the academic needs of the students enrolled in their respective programs, and monitor the scholastic performance of the
students by assisting them in choosing the group of courses they need to take to ensure that they fulfill the curriculum requirements
in the most effective and efficient manner. The Mapa Academic Advising is comprised of multiple advising units:
a. Course Advisers. This includes the professors who accommodate the students concerns related to their currently enrolled
courses. Students may seek assistance from their course advisers on their declared advising hours which may vary every
term.
b. Enrolment Advisers. Also known as special faculty advisers (SFAs) who are tasked to assist students during enrolment for
in changing courses, adding or deleting courses, changing sections, waiving of prerequisites, requesting inclusion to a
section, requesting a course overload, opening a class tutorials, among others.
c. Program Advisers. Also known as curricular advisers who serve as the primary contact for academic advice of all students
regarding their degree program. Program advisers are usually the dean of the school, the program coordinator and/or any
of the faculty expert assigned by the dean.
PEER ADVISING
Peer Advising (PA) is the second of the triad that involves selected student achievers who passed the qualifications to be a peer
adviser. Peer advising involves, but is not limited to the following:
a. providing academic assistance to students in a form other than classroom style;
b. strengthening student to student (peer) support; and,
c. providing an avenue for student achievers to develop their potentials.
Peer Advisers are volunteer undergraduate students of Mapa who were screened by the CSA Coordinator. They have undergone
special training/orientation in preparation for peer advising. Their tabulated schedules will be posted and they are expected to
report at the CSA during their duty hours.
132
STUDENT SERVICES
Students who wish to avail of the PA may visit the CSA to register for the program anytime during the term. They should coordinate
with the peer advisers for the scheduling of regular peer advising. Peer Advising formally opens every second week of every term
and ends until the ninth week.
DEVELOPMENTAL ADVISING
Developmental Advising is the third of the triad that involves the guidance counselors and some selected student volunteers.
The guidance counselors help the students to achieve better self-understanding so they could acquire intelligent decision making
skills that would ultimately lead to the realization of their full potentials.
Through the CGC ASPIRE (Achieving Satisfactory Performance In Response to EWP) Program, the guidance counselors assist the
students to achieve an academic status of Ok either through counseling and/or peer advising.
Developmental Advising is being administered by the Center for Guidance and Counseling.
The goal of the Center is to support the undergraduates, graduating students and alumni of MAPA in defining their career goals
and to provide assistance to its partner companies with their recruitment needs through its various services.

With the launching of the CARDINAL Plus, MAPA has evolved into a Smart Campus
and is now at the forefront of technological innovation. In 2001, MAPA became the
first school in the Philippines to implement this particular identification system. The
card is an integrated, multiple activity contactless card containing the services and
entitlement of data relating to the cardholder and can be used at terminals deployed
in the Institute.
CARDINAL stands for CARD and Integrated Network Access and Login. It is a two (2) piece plastic PVC identification card with a
microchip and an antenna sandwiched in between.
The following steps must be taken in the event that a student loses or damages his ID.
FOR LOST ID
FOR DAMAGED ID
The Wide Area Network (WAN) connection between the campuses of Mapa as well as the other One Malayan schools (Malayan
Colleges Laguna and Malayan High School for Science) was revamped. Using a technology called Multiprotocol Labeling Switching
Virtual Private Network (MPLS-VPN), a full-meshed connection (all sites interconnected to one another) was achieved using a faster
and more cost-efficient framework.
In the future, this connection will enable students and personnel in the various campuses to interact with each other through
technologies such as video teleconferencing and voice-over-IP telephony systems.

Systems for Human Resources Development Performance Evaluation, Peer Advising, Graduates Verification, Online Laboratory
Assessment and Online Faculty Evaluation to name a few, not only significantly addressed the needs of Mapas stakeholders, but
also drive the institutes business goals.
DO-IT is also tasked to develop various services that go beyond the norm but is beneficial to the whole MIT Community. These
include systems for the Center for Guidance and Counseling and Health Services Department.
The Institute, along with other companies under the House of Investments Group has also adopted Oracle Financials. This move will
not only improve and hasten the processing of financial data and reports within various campus and affiliate schools, it also
promises faster consolidation of financial reports.
Foremost of the improvements in the network was the upgrade of all core and edge network equipment used by the Institute. Built
around the technologies of industry giant Cisco Systems, the Institutes core network increased its speed by over 2500%.
Using this faster platform, scalability, reliability and efficiency was achieved through more efficient routing and switching protocols,
built-in redundancy like dual power supply systems, and improved quality-of-service mechanisms. In anticipation of future cabling
technologies, the networks backbone was also replaced with fiber-optic cables that can support higher data rates. With more and
more emphasis being placed on high-definition video and voice applications, the network backbone will be able handle this much
heavier load.
By replacing the old firewalls with more robust security appliances, perimeter security was further beefed up using newer features
such as stateful firewall and intrusion prevention systems. As an added feature, a more flexible and reliable virtual private network
(VPN) technology was installed which would give users the ability to connect to the Institutes network from anywhere in the world
through the Internet using a sophisticated and secure tunnel.
Through the long-standing Institutes partnership with Microsoft, newer releases of Microsofts server and client operating systems
and applications gave users a more streamlined and enjoyable experience while giving system administrators better tools to manage
and secure the various servers. Upgrades in the Institutes client domain infrastructure, client operating system and e-mail service as
well as the setup of collaboration software and network monitoring systems were also undertaken.
