The Technological Institute of the Philippines (T.I.P.; Filipino: Institusyong Panteknolohiya ng Pilipinas) is one of the country’s engineering colleges that also offers programs in computing, architecture, business, education, and the arts. The school is located in Metro Manila, Philippines. It is a private non-sectarian stock school founded on February 8, 1962, by a group of educators headed by Demetrio A. Quirino, Jr. and Teresita U. Quirino.
The institute has campuses in Quiapo, Manila and Cubao, Quezon City, with over 23,000 graduate, undergraduate, and senior high school students. T.I.P. is the only institution in the Philippines that offers Professional Science Master's degree programs in engineering management and data science. As a research institution in technology, T.I.P. is also one of the institutions in the Philippines that offers the professional doctorate degrees Doctor of Information Technology (DIT) and Doctor of Engineering (DEngr).
T.I.P. was granted autonomous status by the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) in 2009.
T.I.P.’s first site was the Lorenzana Building in Quiapo, Manila. The school had an initial enrollment of 2,400 which steadily increased throughout the years, prompting the school to expand. In 1967, it set up its main site at G. Puyat Street, Quiapo, Manila.[citation needed]
The institution then directed itself toward specialization in the field of technology. In 1977, it offered a two-year associate course in Marine Engineering. Then in 1980, the Liberal Arts, Education, and High School programs were phased out to make way for the school’s new thrust.[citation needed]
In 1981, additional buildings were leased and the T.I.P. P. Casal, Quiapo, location was opened to accommodate the growing student population which had reached over 23,000. T.I.P. Arlegui was opened three years later across P. Casal, both areas being collectively known as the T.I.P. Manila campus. Currently, T.I.P. Manila has four (4) main buildings across the combined 2.3-hectares of the two sites.[citation needed]
The founders opened T.I.P. Quezon City in 1983 along 20th Avenue of Cubao as their answer to the Philippine government’s call for dispersal to decongest the Manila University Belt. Through the years, the Quezon City campus acquired adjacent properties, including a frontage along Aurora Boulevard in the early 2000s. At present, T.I.P. Quezon City has ten (10) main buildings spread out on its 3.3-hectare site.[1]
T.I.P. got the first ABET accreditation of 20 of its programs in 2013 – 14 from the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) and 6 from the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC).[citation needed]
T.I.P. vied for the second cycle of ABET international accreditation in 2018 and received, a year later, reaccreditation of all 20 of its engineering and computing programs.[2]
In 2015, T.I.P.'s Computer Science (BSCS), Information Systems (BSIS), and Information Technology (BSIT) programs were acknowledged under the Seoul Accord by virtue of their ABET CAC accreditation.[citation needed]
Graduates enjoy full recognition of their degree in countries like the Republic of Korea, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, United States, China, and Japan.[3]
In 2021, T.I.P. gained international recognition from the ASEAN University Network - Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) for the assessment of some of its programs. The AUN-QA is responsible for educational standards and continuous academic improvement of ASEAN schools. [4]
From 2000 to the present, T.I.P. has been voluntarily applying its programs for local accreditations from respected organizations. These accreditations include the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) under the umbrella of the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP); the Philippine Technological Council; and the Philippine Computer Society (PCS) Information and Computing Accreditation Board (PICAB).[citation needed]
During this period, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) also awarded 16 Centers of Excellence and Centers of Development to both T.I.P. campuses. Moreover, CHED also awarded Autonomous Status to both T.I.P. Quezon City and T.I.P. Manila in 2016 and again in 2019.[1]
