FAQs

Are there financial aid opportunities for incoming students? 

Mapúa offers various scholarships and financial assistance programs. Applicants can explore currently open grants or contact the Admissions Office directly. The university also provides flexible installment schemes to help families manage tuition payments over the course of the academic term.

Can a student shift into this program from another department?

Yes, a student may apply to shift into the BS Electrical Engineering program, provided they meet all the specific requirements of the accepting department. Applicants should consult the Academic Handbook for detailed criteria and procedures regarding shifting.

 

How is the academic year structured for new students? 

Starting in A.Y. 2026-2027, the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering will follow a quarterm academic calendar. This system divides the year into four 11-week terms, allowing for focused, high-impact learning with consistent assessment cycles. Students typically carry a load of 15 to 18 units per term, which ensures steady academic progress.

What are the laptop requirements for students in this field? 

Students enrolled in the BS Electrical Engineering program are recommended to have their own laptop. We suggest a unit with at least an Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD.

 

Additionally, a minimum 4GB dedicated GPU and Windows 10 are recommended, though MacBooks are acceptable if they can run the required course applications.

What is the admission assessment required for the program? 

To study for a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, students must take the Mapúa Program Placement Assessment (MPASS). During the application process, students select their preferred programs, and their qualifications depend on the assessment results. The MPASS can be taken online via Cardinal Edge or onsite at the Intramuros or Makati campuses, and results are viewed via the Applicant Portal.
