Brief History
Way back in 1921, the need of establishing a school that would give adequate technical training along these lines was seriously felt.
In response to this need, the Mapúa was established in 1925 with less than seventy students enrolled in Architecture and Civil Engineering.
On March 8, 1929, after a thorough examination of the school curriculum and an ocular inspection of the school premises conducted by the Investigating Committee, duly appointed by the Secretary of Public Instruction, government recognition was granted for the full courses in Civil Engineering and Architecture.
In 1929, the Mapúa graduated 18 students with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. Out of the 12 examinees that took the Board Exam for the practice of Civil Engineering, eleven successfully passed with flying colors.
From the less than seventy students enrolled at Mapúa in Carriedo Street, where our Institute was born, to about three thousand students today, the School of CE-EnSE now has a permanent home in the Intramuros campus. From its humble beginnings, it has gradually gained pride to be considered as a source of well-trained Civil and Environmental and Sanitary Engineers, who have not only become famous, but have occupied top positions in the government as well as in private companies.
