Batangas State University was named one of the country's model higher education institutions by the Commission on Higher Education or CHED in 2016.[13][14] The university's Electronics Engineering program is designated by CHED as a national Center of Excellence, and its Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Development Communication, and Teacher Education programs are national Centers of Development.[15][16] It has ISO 9001:2015 certification from TÜV Rheinland Philippines, Inc.,[17] and is host to the first China-Philippines Silk Road Institute in the country.[18]

BatStateU is the first state university in the Philippines with engineering and information technology programs accredited by the US-based Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology or ABET – Engineering Accreditation Commission and Computing Accreditation Commission.[19][20][21] With 15 development centers, it is recognized by the Regional Development Council of Region IV-A as the Regional Center for Technology Business Incubation and Development, and as the Regional Center for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Environment Research.[22]

In 2020, the university received a three-star rating from Quacquarelli Symonds Stars University rating.[23] Through Proclamation No. 947, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte designated the BatStateU Knowledge, Innovation, and Science Technology or KIST Park as a Special Economic Zone.[24] It is the first KIST Park registered by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority or PEZA.[25] This was officially launched on July 20, 2020 in virtual ceremonies attended by key government and industry officials.[26]

History

Early years

Batangas State University was originally established as a Manual Training School in 1903 through the supervision of its first American principal, Mr. Scheer. The institution aimed to train youth for beneficial jobs specifically in woodworking. Two years later, it was renamed Batangas Trade School with Mr. Schartz, Zacarias Canent, Isaias, and Nad Pascual Magcamit as its principals, successively. The school was destroyed by fire in 1928 and classes were held temporarily at the old government building near the present Basilica of Immaculate Conception church. The construction of the school building at the site of Batangas State University's Main Campus I began in 1932.[2][27]

After the Liberation, Batangas Trade School resumed activities on 10 September 1945 with Vicente J. Mendoza as its principal. Under the Philippine Rehabilitation Act of 1946, the school was renovated and the first batch of female students were admitted when courses in food trade, garment, and cosmetology were introduced as a response to the growing need of female workforce.[2][27]

Pablo Borbon era

Sometime before 1952, the school was renamed Pablo Borbon Memorial Trade School as a tribute to Pablo Borbon who served as the 6th governor of Batangas from 1910 to 1916. Through Republic Act No. 741, the school gained a national trade status on 18 June 1952.[28] Again, it was renamed Pablo Borbon Regional School of Arts and Trades on 22 June 1957 as mandated by Republic Act No. 1957.[29] Two months later, Arsenio Galauran became the school superintendent while the institution started to offer technical courses. The school started offering mechanical and electrical engineering in 1961. Galauran was succeeded by Vicente Mendoza in November 1962. Mendoza was then followed by Rosauro de Leon on 8 June 1963. It was during de Leon's administration that the school began to offer terminal classes in auto mechanics, cosmetology, electronics, dressmaking, machine shop practice, and radio mechanics.[27] On 19 June 1965, Republic Act No. 4582 directed the school to offer degree courses in industrial education and industrial arts.[30]

Main II CEAFA Building

As authorized by Republic Act No. 5270, Pablo Borbon Regional School of Arts and Trades was elevated into a state college and renamed Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology or PBMIT on 15 June 1968.[31] At the time of its conversion, it was the 23rd state college in the country. Rosauro de Leon was appointed to become PBMIT's first president.[2]

In 1972, the newly established state college started to offer courses in electrical and mechanical engineering courses. Sometime before 1973, a secondary school department that came to be known as the Laboratory School was inaugurated. By 1973, Marcos Ato was its principal when the Laboratory School adopted the Revised Secondary Education Program or RSEP. The following year, the Graduate School was formally opened with Master of Arts in Industrial Education major in Administration and Supervision as its pioneer course. This was followed in 1978 when Master of Management specialized in Business and Public Managements was offered in partnership with former U.P. College of Public Administration. Earlier in 1977, PBMIT launched the Extension Trade Training Program that aimed to train out-of-school youth in electricity, food trades, mechanics, practical automotive, and woodcraft in a span of 200 hours.[2][27]

Main I Gymnasium

Isabelo R. Evangelio succeeded de Leon as college president in 1983. A year after Evangelio's ascendancy to the office, PBMIT acquired a three-hectare land in Batangas City. Eventually, this would become the site of Batangas State University's Main Campus II. Evangelio was succeeded by Mariano O. Albayalde in 1986. In the same year, PBMIT broadened its undergraduate programs in home economics, mathematics, and science. In association with Technological University of the Philippines or TUP, a doctoral degree in Industrial Education Management was offered in 1987. A science class with emphasis in mathematics and science of the Special Science Curriculum was piloted in the Laboratory School from 1987 to 1990 through the supervision of its principal, Mercedes del Rosario.[2][27]

Albayalde's presidency was followed by Ernesto M. De Chavez in 1989. Courses in English language, elementary and secondary education, and computer science were made available the subsequent year. Simultaneously, PBMIT spearheaded the Dual Training System or DTS that was intended for aspiring technicians. DTS was conducted on a trimester basis; classes were held four days a week in industry and two days in school. By 1991, two more courses in development communication and biology were offered. Starting from 1993, the Laboratory School adopted the Technology Based-Curriculum to conform with PBMIT's Science Education Program. Together with Philippine Science High School and Quezon City Science High School, the three were the first secondary schools in the Philippines to adopt the aforementioned curriculum.[2] In 1994, an extension campus was opened in Balayan with welding fabrication and automotive, electrical, and electronics technology as its premier courses.[2][27]

From 1995 to 2000, numerous courses in various disciplines were introduced. Some of these were architecture, business administration, chemical engineering, sanitary engineering, fine arts, information technology, psychology, and public administration. The former College of Liberal Arts, Science, and Computer Studies; School of Accountancy, Business and Economics, Center for Gender, and Poverty Studies; and School of Food Science were established. A separate department for primary students was created that offered Kindergarten I and II in preschool and Grade I in elementary.[2][27]

On 22 March 2001, Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology was converted into Batangas State University by virtue of Republic Act No. 9045.[1] Ernesto M. De Chavez became the university's first president. The conversion also led to the unification of the Grade School Department and the Laboratory School from which the Integrated School came into existence with Maxima Ramos as its first director.[2] On 17 July 2006, Nora L. Magnaye assumed as the university's second president and the first woman to hold the position. During her presidency, Batangas State University started to establish ties with different universities and colleges in China, Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam.

On 17 July 2014, Tirso A. Ronquillo was appointed as the third university president. Since 2015, massive infrastructure development was concretized in the university's campuses. . It was during Dr. Ronquillo’s term when the university became a Level IV university, [8] received ISO 9001:2015 certification, [17] and was awarded Three Stars by the QS Stars rating.[23] It was also during this time when its engineering and information technology programs were accredited by the US-based Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology. [19][20][21] The university established the first KIST park in the country, started offering new emerging programs, developed research and development centers, and expanded international partnerships during his term. [25][26][32] In December 2019, the University launched its ten-year strategic plan highlighted by its new vision, mission, and strategic direction until 2029.[33]

Campuses

Since 2003, Batangas State University has two main, two satellites, and six extension campuses in Batangas.[34] To maintain camaraderie between its campuses, the university administers several annual activities like quiz bees and intramurals.[35]

The university's main campuses are located in Batangas City; Pablo Borbon Main I is at Rizal Avenue, Poblacion while Pablo Borbon Main II is within Golden Country Homes Subdivision in Brgy. Alangilan.[34] Both are named in honor of former governor Pablo Borbon. Being the oldest of all the campuses, Main I is the site of the former Batangas Trade School which was established in 1932.[2] Since then, Main I has been the flagship campus and the seat of the administration of the university. The site of the second oldest campus, Main II, was acquired in 1984.[27]

On 25 February 2000, the Apolinario R. Apacible School of Fisheries or ARASOF in Brgy. Bucana, Nasugbu was incorporated to the former Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology as its first satellite campus.[36] With the implementation of Republic Act No. 9045, two more satellite campuses were incorporated to the then newly formed Batangas State University; this were Jose P. Laurel Polytechnic College or JPLPC in Poblacion, Malvar and a branch of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines or PUP in Poblacion, Santo Tomas.[1] However, on 22 May 2007, Congress enacted Republic Act No. 9472 that excluded PUP Santo Tomas from Batangas State University.[37]

Earlier in 1994, the university's third oldest and first extension campus was inaugurated in Brgy. Caloocan, Balayan. In 2000, a memorandum of agreement was signed for the purpose of establishing more extension campuses in Lipa City, Rosario, Lobo, San Juan, Calaca, Padre Garcia, San Pascual, and Taysan.[27] The said campus in Brgy. Marawoy, Lipa City was named Don Claro M. Recto campus as a tribute to the well-known Filipino politician while the one in Brgy. Namunga, Rosario was named Jose B. Zuño campus in honor of Rosario's first postwar mayor. The extension campuses in Lobo and San Juan were constructed in Brgy. Masaguitsit and Brgy. Talahiban, respectively.[36] Recently, a ceremony was held on 8 June 2017 for the commencement of construction of another extension campus in Mabini and was launched on 6 August 2018.[38][39]

Academic Calendar

In compliance with Republic Act No. 7797, the Board of Regents approved the movement of the university's academic calendar from June–March to August–May starting in 2016.[48] This was also done to align the university's academic calendar with that of the ASEAN and the international community.

Libraries and Laboratories

The University library hosts a wide collection of references and subscriptions to journals, magazines, and newspapers.[49] It has an e-Library system with library automation software that supports the Destiny Library Manager for a more detailed transaction in online circulation, inventory reporting, computerized logbooks, and utilization reports.[50] The university also has access to IEEE XPlore and Science Direct. The library's website has been redesigned to include new features such as the enhancement of the Online Public Access Catalog or OPAC, the inclusion of e-journals, e-books, and other library resources section, library space reservations feature, and enhanced borrowing and reservation feature. Recently, the University has realigned its budget for subscription to digital content, ensuring that the University Library remains a relevant environment for faculty and students to acquire resources essential for their teaching, learning, and research. Soon, the University's Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture and Mathematics (STEAM) Library will be inaugurated in its main campus.[49]

The Red Spartan Face Shield

Each college has program-specific laboratories to support hands-on, simulated learning and application of theories. One of the most recent laboratories established is the fabrication laboratory called the Labspace for Innovation Knowledge-Honing and Application (LIKHA FabLab), which is part of the university's Manufacturing Research Center. Located in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Environment Research or STEER Hub, this laboratory has a high quality research infrastructure for developing models and making prototypes for mass production. It was established in 2018 through a grant from the Department of Trade and Industry of P12 million worth of state-of-the-art equipment and facilities to accommodate university students and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).  It is equipped and ready for digital designs, 3D printing, laser engraving/cutting, CNC wood router, vacuum formatting, large format printing, and CNC metal milling.[51]

In response to the need for personal protective equipment or PPE due to the COVID-19 global pandemic in early 2020, the LIKHA FabLab fabricated the Red Spartan Face Shields. Along with masks, face shields are a basic requirement for health workers as an additional barrier to reduce the risk of viral transmission via airborne droplets. Through the Optimized Vacuum Forming Method for fabricating the face shield, the LIKHA FabLab reduced the time of fabrication to six minutes per face shield as compared to the one hour and 46 minutes just using the 3D printing process. As of June 2020, the LIKHA FabLab has already produced over 2,000 face shields distributed among health care professionals and frontline personnel in Batangas.[52][53]

Learning Management System

The University has a virtual learning environment initially utilized by graduate school professors but was eventually used by undergraduate students as well. It partnered with Google for the Google Education program, enabling the faculty and students to have free, unlimited access to G Suite and all its products and features. [54]

The University recently established its Center for Transformative Learning (CenTRaL), which serves as the university’s arm in harnessing innovative technologies in delivering alternative modes of teaching and learning. It has three major components: capacity building and training, ICT technical services, and content development and evaluation. [55]

Admissions, Scholarships and Housing

Prospective students need to pass the BatStateU Admission Test prior to admission. Applicants are guided through the University's online facility on how to apply and qualify to take the entrance examination. There are four filing centers and six testing centers in the university. The Admission Test is administered once a year, with all information about application and test dates regularly announced through the University's website. Upon passing the test, registration of students can be done online or through physical office transactions.[56]

In terms of scholarships, Filipino students who pass the college entrance examination can enjoy the free tuition and miscellaneous fees provided for in RA 10931 or the Universal Access to Quality Higher Education Act of 2018.[57] Foreign nationals, on the other hand, are welcome and will be assisted by the Office for External Affairs. The University gives financial assistance and support to students through its Scholarship and Financial Assistance Office. In addition, some industries and institutional partners provide financial assistance to qualified students.

The university has a hostel in BatStateU Main I and in BatStateU ARASOF-Nasugbu, and a student dormitory in BatStateU Main II. In addition, the Office for Student Housing and Residential Services accredits boarding houses and dormitories outside of the university to ensure the safety and convenience of its students.

KIST Park

On 22 May 2020, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte designated the BatStateU Knowledge, Innovation, and Science Technology (KIST) Park as a Special Economic Zone (Information Technology Park) by virtue of Proclamation No. 947. [24] It is the first KIST Park registered by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority or PEZA. The BatStateU KIST Park is envisioned as the country's primary seedbed and enclave for technology that nurtures the development and growth of new, small, high-tech firms. It facilitates the transfer of university know-how to locator- companies, encourages the development of faculty or student-based spin-offs, and stimulates the development of innovative products and processes. [24][25]

Located at the BatStateU Pablo Borbon Main II in Brgy. Alangilan, Batangas City, the KIST Park promises to enable business activity in the area by activating incubation and stimulating the creation of new innovative enterprises. Its proximity to the National Capital Region as well as accessibility to other parts of the country makes it a top location for technology transfer and commercialization in the Philippines and a central point of contact for innovative technology-based start-ups looking to transform knowledge into marketable products and services. [24][25]

Its national launching ceremony took place virtually on July 20, 2020. [26] It was attended by Atty. Mcjill Fernandez, Deputy Executive Secretary for General Administration of the Office of the President, Sec. Ramon Lopez of DTI, Sec. Fortunato dela Pena of DOST, PEZA Director General BGen. Charito Plaza, and other key government officials and industry representatives. [32]

Extension and Community Service

The Adopt-a-Barangay program is the university's flagship program on extension and community services. Started in 2014 through a comprehensive needs assessment, the program benefited ten communities within the University's service areas, selected using the Community-Based Monitoring System of the Province of Batangas. Much of the University's community-oriented, research-based extension services have been focused on these barangays. More than 300 community-oriented extension services are conducted annually by the University, with more than 20,000 beneficiaries in each year.

Anchored on a ten-point agenda, the Extension Service Program consists of Environment and Natural Resources; Conservation, Protection and Rehabilitation; Technology Transfer, Utilization and Commercialization; Technical Assistance and Advisory; Technical-Vocational Education and Training; Social Development; Parents’ Empowerment through Social Development (PESODEV); Disaster Preparedness and Response/ Climate Change Adaptation; Gender and Development; Community Outreach; and Smart Analytics and Engineering.[72]

The University also regularly transfers its developed technologies to communities that need them. Significant technologies transferred include the Solar Isotropic Generator of Acoustic Wave, which is a tsunami Early Warning System installed in selected barangays in Batangas and Quezon provinces. The project was co-funded by the United Nations World Food Programme or UNWFP and DOST IV-A. Another project is the Solar Fish Dryer, which is a robust drying chamber powered by solar energy installed in a community in Taal Lake in Batangas and in Quezon Province. BRYCE, a biodiesel reactor designed to convert used cooking oil into biodiesel, was transferred to a Gawad Kalinga community in Batangas City.[73]

Singapore Polytechnic or SP partnered with the University in the conduct of the Learning Express (LeX) Program. This involves Social Innovation Projects where students from Singapore Polytechnic engage in livelihood and volunteer programs that enable them to address the needs of the local communities while developing their academic skills using the Design Thinking Methodology.
