About
Barely four months when the harrowing and nerve jittering World War II ended on August 15, 1945, The University of Manila formally opened the College of Engineering in December of the same year. Although fighting was still going on in some parts of Northern Luzon, Gen. McArthur announced on July 4, 1945 that “the entire Philippine Island is now liberated and the Philippine campaign can be regarded as virtually closed.” Those were the crucial years when the country was in the crossroads of indecision. All around was silence. The whole nation mourned. The Filipinos’ valiant spirit was the only engine which fueled their collective engines towards rehabilitation and rebuilding. The University of Manila, having this is mind placed itself in the forefront of nation building by training skilled citizens in the field of Engineering. The role of the technically trained men in a developing country like the Philippines is a major one, and in this stage of the nation’s industrialization efforts there is a great demand for them.
The College of Engineering offers degrees in Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.
