Avelino, and the QA initiatives of the COE from Assoc. Dean Diaz. accreditation later this year.

Assistant Professor Julius Andrew Nuñez from UP Manila (UPM) and an alumnus of the MS Material Science and Engineering program gave an insight on the value of external assessments from the perspective of an ASEAN University Network – Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) perspective. Dr. Karl Vergel from the Institute of Civil Engineering (ICE), former COE dean Professor Dr. Rizalinda de Leon and Dr. Charlie Montealegre from the Department of Chemical Engineering (DChE) gave practical advice to the staff on how to prepare for the onsite visit.
The COE QA Forum for Staff jumpstarts the series of forums to be facilitated by the COE leading up to the PTC-ACBET accreditation later this year. The college aims to convene different stakeholder groups in the coming months to update them on the quality-related initiatives of the different departments and institutes.
