This prestigious recognition confirms that FEU Tech’s baccalaureate programs in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering meet the highest international standards.
As a representative of the Philippines in the Washington Accord, PTC ensures that engineering education meets stringent benchmarks across 25 signatory countries, including major economies like Japan, Singapore, China, the US, Canada, and the UK.
This recognition under the Accord enables FEU Tech graduates to hold globally accepted and respected credentials, opening doors to advanced studies, professional licensure, and careers in some of the most competitive markets worldwide.
FEU Tech Senior Executive Director Benson Tan expressed excitement about the international recognition, highlighting the vast opportunities now available to the engineering students.
“With this international recognition, our engineering students now gain access to a world of opportunities. The recognition of our five engineering programs as Tier 1 by the PTC and their alignment with the Washington Accord is a powerful testament to the exceptional quality, global relevance, and industry readiness of our curriculum, faculty, and graduates,” Tan said.
Tier 1 status is conferred only on institutions that demonstrate exceptional leadership, robust quality assurance, and significant impact on the engineering profession.
For FEU Tech, it is both an endorsement of its academic excellence and a reaffirmation of its credibility as a distinguished institution in the field.
For employers, it assures that graduates are trained to the same rigorous standards observed by top engineering schools worldwide.
For students and their families, it signals that an FEU Tech education is an investment in a degree with international currency, one that carries weight and recognition beyond the Philippines.
Tan emphasized that this milestone reaffirms FEU Tech’s commitment to providing engineering education that meets the highest global standards. “Our students can now move forward with even greater confidence, knowing that their FEU Tech degree is not only globally respected but also professionally competitive.”
With this recognition, he added that FEU Tech continues to “strengthen its place among the nation’s most credible and forward-looking engineering institutions that produce graduates prepared to excel locally and around the globe.”
