MEP: towards faculty development

Abstract

The Faculty of Engineering of the University of Santo Tomas is one of the oldest engineering schools of the Philippines. At 94 years, it has been a witness to changing social norms and behavior, emerging cultures, and rapid technological development. To keep up with the changing times, it has geared up its programs towards globalization in order to supply the demand of the world market for engineers who are not only technically competent but who also possess high morals. To attain this objective, the University has adopted a faculty development program, in cooperation with four universities in Metro Manila, that will provide the members of its teaching staff a non-thesis, practice-oriented graduate program.
