Mapúa celebrates legacy of innovation, excellence at 99

MAPÚA University, the country’s premier engineering and technological university, has marked another milestone with the celebration of its 99th Founding Anniversary.

Aptly themed “Always Building the Future,” the festivity served as a kickoff event for the university’s upcoming Centennial Anniversary in 2025 and a chronicle of its numerous accomplishments.

Aside from the formal opening ceremonies, the 99th founding anniversary will also herald the launch of a new student engagement system, an online marketplace platform for learning, and the Mapúa/Altair Center of Excellence in Digital Transformation.

The student engagement system is designed to build and foster a meaningful student experience in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities outside the classroom, ensuring a vibrant campus life that complements academic learning.

Moreover, the groundbreaking collaboration with Altair to establish the Mapúa/Altair Center of Excellence in Digital Transformation represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to innovation and excellence in engineering and information technology education.

This Center of Excellence will provide Mapúa students and faculty with advanced tools in data mining and analytics, machine learning, AI-driven engineering designs, simulations and embedding IoT technologies, positioning Mapúa at the forefront of digital transformation education.

Established in 1925 by renowned architect Don Tomas Mapúa, the university is known for its high educational standards, which have led to the numerous recognitions, awards, and partnerships it has gained throughout the years.

In the past two years alone, the university secured a spot in the prestigious Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2023 and the The University Impact Rankings.
