Tomas, Manila, Philippines, Theme: "Innovating Engineering Education for a Sustainable and Digital Future"

This year’s conference is the third hybrid conference in the series. The face-to-face component will be held at the historical University of Sto. Tomas, Manila, Philippines.

ICEE-Phil is an annual gathering of engineering educators in the Philippines and nearby regions to foster sharing of knowledge and best practices, forge networks, discuss policies, and initiate programs for the advancement of Engineering Education in the country. ICEE-Phil is hosted by PAES since 2015. ICEE-Phil 2025 will be attended by faculty members and academic administrators from around 200 members engineering schools and universities all over the Philippines and guests from other countries.

The Philippine Association of Engineering Schools (PAES) invites faculty and academic leaders to two complementary training-workshops designed to strengthen academic quality and accreditation readiness:

OBE Workshop with Dr. Peter Ureta – Perfect for new member schools and those starting or improving their Outcomes-Based Education implementation.

PrepVisit 101 with Prof. Alberto Laurito – A practical guide for schools preparing for CHED program visits and aspiring to become Centers of Development or Excellence.

Schools are highly encouraged to attend both to build strong foundations and prepare for national recognition.

The Philippine Association of Engineering Schools (PAES) and the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP), through its implementing arm, the Philippine Domestic Construction Board (PDCB), has entered into a strategic partnership to enhance engineering education by integrating industry-standard contract practices into academic curricula.

Central to this collaboration is the promotion and recommendation to include CIAP Document 102, also known as the Uniform General Conditions of Contract for Private Construction, in the syllabi of engineering programs . This initiative aims to equip future engineers with a strong foundation in construction contract management, project implementation, and risk management—skills essential for success in the construction industry

PDCB Executive Director Doris U. Gacho and PAES President Romano Q. Neyra led the MOU signing ceremony held in PDCB Office. Through this partnership, PDCB will provide training for faculty members and assist in the development of course content that reflects real-world contract practices. PAES, in turn, will encourage its member institutions to adopt the updated syllabi and provide feedback on its implementation and impact.
