MISSION The mission of Mapa Institute of Technology is to disseminate, generate, preserve and apply scientific, engineering, architectural and IT knowledge. 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. 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. The Institute shall advance and preserve knowledge by undertaking research and reporting on the results of such inquiries. 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 a 1. Provide students with the necessary technical competence for their immediate entry into the various professional careers by developing in them a broad foundation in major technical areas of civil engineering such as construction, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water resources engineering. Develop the desire to pursue continuing education, advance study and research that will ensure continued awareness of current and new approaches in civil engineering. Instill the importance of professional responsibility and the value of maintaining ethical standards in the practice of civil engineering. Develop the ability to communicate effectively using various means such oral, written and electronic, within the technical community and general public. Prepare our students to become responsible citizens and to foster in them the concern for the conservation and protection of the environment. b
