HISTORY
With the conviction of providing quality education and
offering technical manual skills in the field of technology, the
College of Engineering and Technology (CET) of the Pamantasan
ng Lungsod ng Maynila was established on July 1, 1969 - six
years after the late Mayor Antonio F. Villegas founded the university.
Originally under the College of Arts and Letters, the main
trust of the college was to provide technical, industrial, vocational
education to PLM students alongside the humanistic courses
to prepare them for promoting out technology under two divisions,
namely - the Division of Engineering and Technology which
covered the Department of Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Sanitary,
Chemical, Naval and Industrial Engineering and the Division
of Technical and Vocational Education which covered the
Department of Electronics, Wood Working, Metal Works, Automotive
Works, Ceramics, Graphics Arts and Teacher Education
in Arts and Trades. Obtaining a degree in this college then,
required the student to finish a six-year ladderized program
which was later reduced to a five year scheme during the
term of former PLM President Consuelo Blanco who felt the
imperative need of the engineering graduates to constitute
the country's labor pool.
Today, the College of Engineering and Technology stands
committed to upholding the legacy conceived by Mayor Villegas
and the late Mayor Arsenio H. Lacson by providing its present
batch of Engineering students with quality education which
is responsive to the needs of the time.
