A fusion of technology and traditional education. The willingness to evolve in the face of new
challenges, while maintaining the same passion and steadfastness that build an institution. An
institution that imbues its students with Filipino values, industry and global citizen values. An

institution that transforms students into graduates who will contribute to the general welfare of
society.

The TIP Implementation of outcomes-based education was driven by the following

external entities: 1) Regulatory bodies such as the Commission on Higher Education
(CHED), the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), International Maritime
Organization (IMO), among others, 2) Local and international accrediting bodies,
specifically, the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on
Accreditation (PACUCOA), the Philippine Technological Council-Accreditation and
Certification Board for Engineering and Technology - Engineering Accreditation
Commission (PTC - ACBET - EAC), and ABET, Inc., 3) International certifying bodies,
and 4) Feedback from other external constituents.
It is also guided by existing TIP internal policies and initiatives: 1) The TIP Vision,
Mission, Core Values, and Core Competencies, 2) TIP Quality Policy, and 3) Other TIP
initiatives that supported the OBE implementation such as a) the TIP Faculty and Staff
Development Program, and b) The TIP Student Development Program.
The institutional outcome statement was formulated based on the TIP graduates
attributes. Outcomes at the program level and course level were also formulated aligned
with institutional outcomes.
The framework which TIP adopted in its OBTL implementation revolves around three
important elements: 1) Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs), 2) Teaching and Learning
Activities (TLAs) and 3) Assessment Tasks (ATs).

In support of TIPs outcomes-based education and as a strategy to promote academic

excellence, TIP has also embarked on a proactive plan to implement outcomes-based
teaching and learning or OBTL in all its academic programs using the City University of
Hong Kong OBTL model.
The OBE process is also supported by facilities, management processes and
procedures resources and support structures sub-systems.
The results of the assessment and evaluation are used as inputs in the continual
improvement of the instructional process specifically on the constructive alignment of
ILOs, TLAs, and ATs.
It is expected that the implementation of OBTL as part of TIPs OBE would hasten the
realization of TIPs mission "to transform students into graduates with full competence in

their fields of study and who also possess Filipino values, industry-desired values, and
global citizen values.
