Cebu City's DB Technology Centre's first - and very
successful - Engineering graduates
CEBU CITY: 21st October 2007 -- Good news indeed for Don
Bosco Technology Centre (DBTCI), Cebu City, one of only four
educational centres throughout the Philippines offering a Bachelor of
Science in Technical Education as well as a much appreciated five year
specialisation in Mechanical Engineering. Results announced this past
week for the latter show that fourteen out of fifteen graduate students
passed their final exams. The pass rate for this first-ever batch
of ME students, 93.3%, puts DBTCI as second in the nation in the field.
DBTC leadership feels that the decision to set up
the Mechanical Engineering course has been well vindicated.
Mechanical Engineering is regarded as an important specialisation for
the Philippines' fast-developing economy. It is not the only
specialisation of the Centre. There are courses in Agriculture as
well as Electrical and Industrial Engineering which quickly
followed the institution of the Mechanical Engineering course.
The first graduations for these later courses are due next year.
The very first course introduced by the Centre was a
Bachelor of Science in Technical Education. It is a four year
course involving studies in both technology and education. Close
on 200 students have passed through this course, producing many good
teachers for technical education centres throughout the nation, and
helping to staff the 11 such centres run by the Salesians.
It is interesting to note that of the four B.Sc in
Tech. Ed courses being offered in the Philippines, two of them are
offered by Salesian institutions: one in the Northern Philippines
Province (FIN) at Canlubang, and the other at the DBTCI in Cebu City,
part of the Southern Philippines Province (FIS). _________________ AustraLasia is an
