The Technological University of the Philippines Visayas, established in 1977 as Visayas Technician Institute, is one of the four campuses
comprising the TUP system. Its 3-year Engineering Technology program leads to a 4-year Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology and the 5- year Bachelor of Science in Electronics Communication Engineering and the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degrees. It also offers Bachelor of Technology major in Mechatronics Technology.
Ever since its inception as a prototype state school, the school allows and makes arrangements for on-the-job training of its students in private
business establishments, shops, factories, warehouses and other facilities based on a joint program developed by the school and participating private entities.
An industrial component phase is built in the curriculum of TUP Visayas. The 6-weeks Supervised Industrial Training (SIT) I for First Year students who satisfactorily complied their academic requirements; the 6-weeks SIT 2 for second year students who satisfactorily complied with all the second year academic requirements; and the 20-weeks SIT 3 for third year students who satisfactorily complied with all the 3rd year requirements and the first
two stages of the SIT phase.
Such on-the-job training programs allow the students to have a hands-on practice, besides real experiential exposure for the students to the real world of work. Moreover, not only the necessary skills are nurtured and world of work. Moreover, not only the necessary skills are nurtured and developed by the program but also the holistic development of the
