VISION In the year 2012, the school's 50th anniversary, TIP envisions itself:

As the leading school in the fields of Engineering and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and in all other academic offerings; As a CHED Center of Excellence or Center of Development in at least three Engineering programs; As a school steeped in research and community service; As a school that is managed efficiently with computerized operations capable of having fast access to accurate information in order to respond to an ever-changing environment to ensure financial viability; and As a school with:

Level III Accredited Status for 75 percent of its programs Total Quality Management for all aspects of operations including ISO Certifications in the provision of all its academic The best work environment for its teaching and non-teaching employees, and Strategic alliances with other schools and industry

MISSION The Technological Institute of the Philippines is committed

to bring the blessings of higher education within reach of Filipinos to maintain the highest standard of instruction and to constantly redefine the meaning of academic life, and to transform students into graduates with full competence in their fields of study and who also possess: Filipino Values The Filipino values of honesty and integrity, service to others, the importance of family, frugality, resilience in the face of adversity, and the willingness to surmount difficulties in order to succeed and excel. Industry-desired values The industry-desired values of positive work attitude, good communication skills, proficiency in computers and in the software that pertain to their fields of study, and the openness to keep on learning to reinvent themselves. Global citizen values The global values of respect for cultural diversity, care for the environment and the desire to contribute to the general welfare of society.

CORE VALUES Cleanliness in Mind, Body and Surroundings

Cleanliness as a way of life. A wholesome attitude, a healthy body in clean surroundings as the only way for real learning and working to take place. Community Spirit

A strong sense of community, a willingness to cooperate in planning and realizing goals for the common good. Service Orientedness

A culture of altruism in the context of an educational institution where work is towards helping others with little regard for self-interest. Teachers impart knowledge and give of themselves unselfishly. Employees and administrators serve with the knowledge that service to others is their reason for being, and the school, as a community, gives back to society. Commitment to Extend Scholarship Grants

The allocation of the resources of the school to allow poor but deserving students access to quality education through scholarships and grants. This is a commitment of the school's founder to the Filipino youth, a commitment that will always be supported by TIP.

ABET Vision and Mission ABET provides world leadership in assuring quality and in stimulating innovation in applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology education.

History ABET has been providing accreditation services for technical education programs for nearly 80 years. ABET was founded in 1932 as the Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD), an engineering professional body dedicated to the education, accreditation, regulation, and professional development of the engineering professionals and students in the United States. Governance ABET is governed by its member societies, who nominate and appoint members of the ABET Board of Directors, the Accreditation Commissions, and board-level councils. They also set policy and strategy; conduct accreditation reviews; and render decisions about the accreditation of programs.

Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Lead Society: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Cooperating Society for Computer Engineering Programs: CSAB These program criteria apply to engineering programs that include electrical, electronic, computer, or similar modifiers in their titles. 1. Curriculum The structure of the curriculum must provide both breadth and depth across the range of engineering topics implied by the title of the program. The curriculum must include probability and statistics, including applications appropriate to the program name; mathematics through differential and integral calculus; sciences (defined as biological, chemical, or physical science); and engineering topics (including computing science) necessary to analyze and design complex electrical and electronic devices, software, and systems containing hardware and software components. The curriculum for programs containing the modifier electrical in the title must include advanced mathematics, such as differential equations, linear algebra, complex variables, and discrete mathematics. The curriculum for programs containing the modifier computer in the title must include discrete mathematics.
