Philosophy

In an environment of academic
excellence, TAU harnesses, develops
and catalyzes the conversion of the
full potentials and capabilities of
students into becoming responsible
and competent professionals in
agriculture and allied disciplines.
 Mandate
TAU shall primarily provide advanced
education, higher technological, professional
instruction and training in the fields of
agriculture, agribusiness management,
science and technology, engineering, teacher
education, non-traditional courses, and other
relevant fields of study. It shall also undertake
research, extension services, and production
activities in support of the development of the
Province of Tarlac, and provide leadership in
its areas of specialization.
 Vision
TAU
as one of the top
500 agricultural
universities
in Asia
 Mission
TAU is committed to
improve the quality of life
through the production of
competent graduates and
relevant technologies in
the service of society.
 History
The College of Engineering and Technology started as a
Department offering the Bachelor of Science in Agricultural
Engineering curriculum in 1967. When the Tarlac College of
Technology-College of Agriculture was converted into Tarlac College
of Agriculture in 1974, the Department was elevated into Institute of
Engineering. Upon the conversion of the Tarlac College of Agriculture
into Tarlac Agricultural University on May 10, 2016, the Institute of
Engineering was renamed College of Engineering and Technology.

The College of Engineering and Technology that used to offer BS in

Agricultural Engineering degree only expanded in 1987 when it started
to offer General Engineering Course leading to the other BS Engineering
course and the Associate in Geodetic Engineering, BS Geodetic
Engineering major in Soil and Water Management and Farm Machinery was
added. The latest additions in the curricular offerings of the College are
BS in Information Technology (2004), Certificate in Office Management
(2005), and Certificate in Computer Hardware Technician (2005).
 CET Goals
The College shall produce graduates who can lead in agro-industrial
based development in the University service area and in the Region through
quality pre-service education.

Specifically, the College aims to:

1. provide career agricultural/geodetic engineers/ IT professionals
committed to the development of the Region such as involvement in self-
reliant program, by applying concepts and theories gained;
2. provide students with competencies in the field of agricultural/geodetic
engineering equipped with leadership skills to assume management positions;
3. evolve research programs to be carried out on a multi-disciplinary
and inter-agency agency arrangement in the field of agricultural/geodetic
engineering/information technology;
4. do research on priority areas based on urgency and relevance to actual
economic and social needs; and
5. continuously establish new linkages and strengthen the existing ones in
support of the various programs and projects along research, extension and
training.
