INTRODUCTION
MIT has long been an advocate of environment conservation and engineering
for the environment, beginning with the opening of its B.S. Environmental and Sanitary
Engineering (EnSE) program in 1958, followed by the opening of its Master of Science in
Environmental Engineering program in 2001 and Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering
program in 2004. Furthermore, the Institute has also included environmental
engineering and environmental science courses in all of its engineering and nonengineering programs, respectively. MIT believes that these courses are enough
introductions for all the students to understand the condition of the environment
and make contribution in order to protect the environment. It is also believed that
these courses as well as subsequent courses of their program of study are sufficient
to train them to be able to design, construct, and implement sustainable solutions to
environmental problems.
To complement its instruction, MIT included in its 2010–2020 initiatives the
research for sustainable development and the reduction of environmental footprints.
Research for sustainable development and internet of things has been the thrust of
MIT. The Office of International Linkages for Research and Development (ILRAD)
has been established. ILRAD provides links, platforms and venues for Mapúa’s
international research and development. ILRAD cooperates with the Environmental
Education and Training Unit of United Nations Environment Programme (EETU-UNEP)
to be informed on contemporary issues. Mapúa become a member of UNEP Global
Universities Partnership on Environment for Sustainability (GUPES) as a result of the
cooperation. Faculty members and students participate in scientific conferences,
workshops, seminars, fora and related activities with government agencies, industry,
and non-government organizations (both national and international). This is part
of the strategy for the quest on ‘engineering for the environment and sustainable
development.’
ILRAD has an additional task, i..e, to carry out the research initiative of Mapúa in
cooperation with different departments. MIT, initiated by the Campus Development
and Maintenance Office (CDMO), has replaced all of its lamps with more energy-efficient
bulbs. This was followed by the installation of inverters on its air-conditioning units.
These activities resulted to 7% reduction on its energy consumption per person. Also,
the research initiative program of Mapúa conducted campus environmental quality
and footprint monitoring in 2013. This was in cooperation with the Social Orientation
and Community Involvement Program (SOCIP), the Institutional Laboratories
Management Office (ILMO) and the Environmental Engineering Graduate Program.
Results of research initiative are then utilized for campus improvement.

Apart from its international and internal efforts, MIT through SOCIP, has
extension services (local and national community). SOCIP has conducted seminars on
recycling, energy conservation, use of renewable energy, lecture on carbon footprint
reduction and skill development. Also, SOCIP conducted information drive on global
warming and pollution in the community; and tree-planting and clean-and-green
projects. These activities are in partnership with the local government and nongovernment organizations. As part of the awareness activities, Mapúa has released
T-shirts showing environmental resources conservation and protection.
Mapúa contributes to poverty alleviation not only by providing some
communities means for living but also by sharing knowledge, best practices, and
developing skills and individual capacity to find ways to improve their economic
stature. Mapúa, being the biggest producer of engineers in the Philippines and
contributes competent workforce not only in the country but globally, aids to the
attainment of the United Nations sustainable development goals.
VISION – MISSION OF MAPÚA

Computer engineering students, Darryll Jade Arias, Francis Mark Luna, Alion Santillan,
Lloyd Edwinson Arellano, and Jonathan Temeña, developed a voice-activated wheelchair
The
students’
project
objective was to improve
the existing wheelchair
designs and mobility of the
impaired individual and
has the full functionality
of the hands. The idea
came out in the course of
making their thesis work
as a requirement for the
degree which took them
nine months to complete.
The device acts both as detection system and Braille
mobile phone to aid the mobility and communication
capability of the visually impaired people. The work of
these students won a top prize during the 8th Smart
Wireless Engineering Education Program (SWEEP)
Innovation and Excellence Awards.
The prototype wheelchair can easily be
maneuvered through the use of voice. The
wheelchair has unique safety measure
features, too. It automatically stops when
it detects obstacles along its path and no
space to move on. The wheelchair can also
elevate to a maximum height of eight inches,
enough height to climb a street gutter.
The voice-activated wheelchair project
output of the students is among the results
of an “outcomes-based-education” of
Mapúa Institute of Technology.

The School of ARIDBE contributes to Sustainable Development
The School of Information Technology (SOIT) works on the centralized blood bank
inventory and data management system in coordination with Philippine Red Cross
and DOH
Maria Erika S. Masalonga of the School of Architecture, Industrial Design and the Built
Environment won during the 2011 Green Furniture Design competition. The entry to the
joint project of the Chamber of Furniture Industries of the Philippines (CFIP) and the Product
Development and Design Center of the Philippines (PDDCP) was a “Solace Rocking Chair.” The
design of the chair was made of recycled aluminum as a metal frame and seagrass as weaving
component. Seagrass is an indigenous grass in the Philippines has been considered renewable
and eco-friendly material.
The e-trike (yellow color) was designed by Marciano H. Santos, Jr. This was one of the seven
consolation prize winners of the Department of energy’s Best E-Trike Design Contest. Lower
e-trike was designed by Maria Cielo M. Rogero and Norriele Ace Serrano which placed 3rd in
the contest. These were industrial design students from the School of Architecture, Industrial
Design and the Built Environment.
The design considered a three-wheeled, seven-seater electric vehicle based on the common
mode of transportation in the Philippines. The design adopted the jeepneys’ box-type frame
ans stretched the back of the vehicle to accommodate six passengers. It has an open doorway
located at the rear side of the vehicle. Another design consideration was ventilation and ease
of entry and exit of passengers.
SOIT participated in the competition and won 2nd place in the 1st Philippine Undergraduate
Research on eHealth (PUReHealth), a one-and-a-half-year-long research competition on eHealth
organized by the National Telehealth Center of the University of the Philippines-Manila. The
group’s technical advisers were Dean Nilda S. Eliquen of Mapúa’s School of Information
Technology (SOIT), and Professors Ramon L. Rodriguez and Elcid A. Serrano.
The main objective of the project was to consolidate and unify existing blood inventory and
management systems of the various blood bank facilities in the Philippines.
The concept of the project was to create a centralized inventory system that stores data
from all blood bank facilities. Currently, the system varies from different facilities and there
is no one agency monitoring all the data. Because of this, the use of donated blood is not
maximized,” Prof. Rodriguez elaborated.
The members of the group coordinated with blood bank facilities in Manila, with Philippine
Red Cross, National Voluntary Blood Services Program, and the Department of Health (DOH)
to gather data.
The design focused on the anthropometrics (study of the dimensions of the body) and
materials. The curvy and straight body configuration design could accommodate both men
and women passengers.
