T.I.P. named 5th top school for engineering research in the country - IRIS

The Technological Institute of the Philippines (T.I.P.) was hailed as the fifth top school for engineering research in the 2021 IRIS (Institutes for Research, Innovation, and Scholarship) Philippine University Research Rankings.

 

In a webinar last July, IRIS revealed its beta list of 106 public and private higher education institutions (HEIs) ranked in the engineering, sciences, and health sciences fields based on cumulative publications and citations from Thomson Reuters and Elvesier.

 

IRIS also cited T.I.P. as one of the fastest growing universities in the sciences category, jumping from 37th to 28th in the last five years.

 

T.I.P. President Dr. Elizabeth Quirino-Lahoz welcomed the results as "good news," saying "affirmations such as this one inspire us to further contribute to that critical mass in research and innovation."

 

The IRIS rankings provide a stepping stone for local HEIs aspiring to earn international standing.

 

Dr. Carlos Primo David, who presented the list, stressed the importance of tracking university research performance "as these institutions are the primary seedbeds for knowledge creation." He also noted that "there's a good correlation between a vibrant research culture and high quality instructions at the tertiary level."

 

IRIS is a private educational organization that seeks to create pathways for collaboration among Filipino researchers, educators, and innovators in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and agro-fisheries.

Industry Giants And Government Institutions Partner With T.I.P. To Respond To Real-World Challenges

The Technological Institute of the Philippines (T.I.P.) aims to bring about creative solutions to real-world problems through the Catalyst Collider [C²] Design Challenge – a platform for developing high-impact, technology-driven solutions to create value for industries and communities.     

 

The event, which was initiated by T.I.P. TechnoCoRe, is guided by the theme “Smart Applications for Safer and Sustainable Cities, Schools, and Industries.” It aims to challenge T.I.P. students and faculty to develop cutting-edge and scalable solutions which promote smarter, more sustainable cities, industries, and campuses.     

 

Students and faculty from the College of Computer Studies and the College of Engineering have taken on the challenge of designing impactful solutions. As part of TechnoCoRe’s thrust to provide students with real-world experiences through industry-academe partnerships, 35 partner institutions were tapped to be part of the design challenge as collaborators. These partners will mentor participants and provide insights into real-world challenges, pain points and commercialization opportunities. 

 

Present during the event was a diverse range of public and private entities such as Dell Technologies, Siemens, Western Digital, P.IMES Corporation, Aboitiz Power, Azvercons,  Braemac,  Computrends, Geodata Systems Technologies, Globe Telecom, Gryke Scientific Instruments, Manila GIS Center, MELCO Factory Automation Philippines (MELAP), Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry - Las Piñas Chapter (PCCI Las Piñas), Presidium, Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC), Rohde and Schwarz, San Miguel Infrastructure, Subic Water and Sewerage Co., (SUBICWATER), Sumisetsu Philippines, Teradyne, Wadhwani Foundation, Wurth Electronics, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

 

The Design Challenge encourages the project teams to innovate on several key focus areas such as Smart Manufacturing, which integrates advanced technologies like IoT, AI, and analytics to enhance manufacturing operations; Smart Cities, which leverages data-driven solutions for infrastructure, sustainability, and citizen services; and Smart Campuses, to optimize campus operations, resource management, and student experiences through automation and connected devices.     

     

The champion will be awarded based on the Best Overall Design for the challenge. A People’s Choice Award and Special Industry Awards for standout performers will also be up for grabs.

 

The Catalyst Collider [C²] Design Challenge was officially launched last October 28, 2024 at the Anniversary Hall of T.I.P. Quezon City. The launch was also attended by almost 70 representatives from the participating institutions as well as representatives from T.I.P, led by Dr. Elizabeth Quirino-Lahoz. 

 

Over the course of several months, the participating teams will create and refine their design projects, culminating in a final pitching session on Demo Day in May 2025.
