Brief History

The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) is one of the engineering programs offered in the College of Engineering, Architecture and Fine Arts. It was offered as four-year program since the beginning of the academic year 2018 – 2019 as stipulated  in the Resolution Number 0511-2 Series of 2008, but was offered before as a five year program in 1991. The first batch of graduates was in year 1996 – 1997 when the university was formerly named Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology.

The BSIE program includes units in mathematics, natural/physical sciences, basic engineering sciences, allied courses, core professional courses, and specific topics in Industrial Engineering. Similar to other engineering programs, it offers non-technical courses including the required general education, general education electives, mandated course, physical education, and national service training program. All courses are offered at the Alangilan campus. All courses in the program serves as strong foundation for students to enter the real world of Industrial Engineering which includes handling a lead role in the design, improvement and installation and  integrating human, information, material, monetary, and technological resources to produce quality and cost- effective good and services in a healthy and efficient work environment. This program will enlighten students about the broad areas that it covers such as operations management, quality management systems, operations research, human factors or ergonomics, occupational safety, systems engineering, supply chain management and advanced computing.  Thus, competencies and skills of each student will be developed to analyze and design a system and solve problems in the field of industrial engineering.

The IE program had been awarded Level III – Phase I, Re – accredited status by the Accrediting Agencies of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) during the third survey visit. This status’ validity is from September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019. Likewise, the program had undergone initial accreditation or comprehensive review by the Philippine Technological Council – Accreditation and Certification Board for Engineering & Technology (PTC-ACBET) on January 19-21, 2015 and received accreditation status with a term of 2 years covering Academic Year (AY) 2015-2016 and AY 2016-2017. Then awarded by the same the accreditation status for AY 2017 – 2018 to AY 2020 – AY 2021. Moreover, the BSIE program had undergone also the ABET accreditation and was awarded until September 30, 2023.
