MAPA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

School of Basic Studies

VISION
Mapa shall be an international center of excellence in technology education by:
providing instructions that are current in content and state-of-the art in delivery;

engaging in cutting-edge research; and

responding to the big local and global technological challenges of the times

MISSION
a) The mission of Mapa Institute of Technology is to disseminate, generate, preserve and apply
scientific, engineering, architectural and IT knowledge.
b) The Institute shall, using the most effective means, provide its students with professional and
advanced scientific and engineering, architectural and information technology education through
rigorous and up-to-date academic programs with ample opportunities for the exercise of creativity
and the experience of discovery.
c) It shall implement curricula that, while being steeped in technologies, shall also be rich in the
humanities, languages and social sciences that will inculcate ethics.
d) The Institute shall advance and preserve knowledge by undertaking research and reporting on the
results of such inquiries.
e) The Institute, singly or in collaboration with others, shall bring to bear the world's vast store of
knowledge in science, engineering and other realms on the problems of the industry and the
community in order to make the Philippines and the world a better place.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

1. To provide students with a solid foundation in mathematics, basic
sciences, physics, and general chemistry and their application to
engineering, architecture, and other related disciplines;
2. To complement the technical training of the students with proficiency
in oral and written communications;
3. To instill in the students human values and cultural refinement
through the humanities and social sciences; and
4. To inculcate a high ethical standard in the students through its
integration in the learning activities.
