THE PHILIPPINE Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) raised the accreditation of the six programs in the Faculty of Engineering (Engineering) to Level II after a survey of the Engineering faculty profile, laboratories, and other facilities last September.
According to Engineering dean Dr. Marilyn Mabini, the Administration is trying to make the necessary facilities available.
“Anybody now is conscious with the delivery of engineering education following the standards set by PAASCU,” she said.
In addition, Mabini said the Level II status is valid for three years. The next PAASCU visit is in 2007.
“We cannot be complacent and it’s actually a continuous quality improvement,” she said.
Only the six Engineering programs were accredited to Level II, while the application for the accreditation of the Information Management, Information Technology, and Computer Science courses will be planned this summer.
According to Mabini, they have upgraded the faculty profile, had building renovated, and the continuously upgraded laboratories as PAASCU has recommended.
The same preparations are being conducted for the eyed accreditation of the three other courses, she said. John Rheeno T. Cabangacalan
