Brief History
Batangas State University started as a Manual Training School in 1903 under the supervision of an American principal, Mr. Scheer. The school was renamed Batangas Trade School in 1905 and through Republic Act 746 its name was changed to Pablo Borbon Memorial Trade School in 1953. The school became the Pablo Borbon Regional
School of Arts and Trade and started offering technical courses in 1957. The regional school was converted into a state college by virtue of RA 5270 known as Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology in 1968. It was the 23rd state college of the country at the time of conversion. In 1971, the college first offered engineering courses with specialization in mechanical and electrical engineering. And finally, by virtue of RA 9045, Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology was elevated to Batangas State University in March 2001.
Throughout the world, one of the several key trends currently emerging was global interaction and interconnectedness. Batangas State University as it envisions to be a premier national university that develops leaders in the global knowledge economy by providing a 21st century learning environment through innovations in education, multidisciplinary research, and community and industry partnerships in order to nurture the spirit of nationhood, propel the national economy, and engage the world for sustainable development.
The Batangas State University College of Engineering, Architecture, and Fine Arts is a national pioneer in many fronts: the first to introduce outcomes-based engineering education and is the only state university in the country with programs accredited by the US Based Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). It has gained national recognition as a Center of Excellence and Center of Development for some of its programs and producer of topnotch engineers.
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) program was implemented in 1971 and was among the first engineering programs offered in the university. It was awarded Level III Reaccredited Status by the Accrediting Agencies ofCharteredColleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) valid until October 2018. Moreover, the program was assessed and accredited by the Philippine Technological Council-ACBET.
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) program was implemented in 1971 and was among the first engineering programs offered in the university. The program focused on improving its performance and gearing to meet the future oriented engineering industry’s demand for high-technology and creative talents.
The program carried out the curriculum innovation and teaching reforms, not only to nurture the students on basic theory, knowledge and skills in their discipline, but also to train the students to discover their practical and creative ability, improve their engineering consciousness, engineering quality and engineering practice ability, lay a good foundation for future study and application of a deeper, more professional knowledge and skills.
For the time being, the BSEE program has a total of 37 faculty members including ten 22 full time, 15 part time members and three foreign lecturers. Enrollment for the program increases each year. This shows that parents and students still believed in that the program can make their way to their dreams.
