Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering Technology (Electrical Machine Control and Maintenance)

The Diploma in Mechanical Design & Fabrication prepares the students for careers in machining, mechanical design and metal fabrication. The coursework provides the basis for employment in a variety of manufacturing areas some of which include Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computerized Machining (CNC), Production Welding, and Fabrication. Industry standard software used in this program includes AutoCAD, and SolidWorks. Emphasis will focus on skill sets that allow students to obtain industry certifications.
The aforementioned program is conceived by the strengthening of the academic framework and processes as embodied by Goal No. 1 of the Annual Work and Financial Plan of the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) through the conduct of curriculum review process in conjunction with CMO 46 s. 2012 mandating HEIs to enhance quality assurance in Philippine Higher Education through an Outcomes-Based Education and Typology Quality Assurance in consonance to the K12 OBE curriculum. The curriculum review and development also adhered to the Philippine Qualification Framework (PQF) which is a quality assured national system for the development, recognition and award of qualifications acquired through different ways and methods providing a hierarchy of levels of complexity of learning using learning outcomes as the metric of the hierarchy and a system with level descriptors that allude to cognitive and functional competence that are matched to the ASEAN Quality Referencing Framework (AQRF). The review process also utilized the DACUM process of curriculum development as the program offered is considered as new being offered as a diploma program. The whole curriculum review process followed 8 phases that were strictly implemented, monitored and critiqued by relevant experts. All inputs, comments, suggestions and recommendations were considered noteworthy subject to the approval of the competent authorities.
In consonance to the PQF-AQRF, the College of Technology subscribe to the academic continuum of PQF Level 5 to PQF Level 6 where relevant Diploma programs are so designed in such a way the students will have National Certifications in each level and an option for occupational exit points as reflected by the Technology Program Continuum of USTP. Hence, the continuum offers the clientele the option for educational and occupational opportunities at the same time continuum to baccalaureate degrees up to relevant graduate programs.
