Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology (BSIT)
Major in Mechanical Technology
The BS Industrial Technology major in Mechanical Technology demonstrates sustained excellence
in instruction, applied research, industry engagement, and continuous quality improvement.
Anchored on vertical program alignment, laboratory-intensive delivery, and industry-responsive
curriculum design, the program prepares technically competent, socially responsible, and
globally aware graduates.
Center of Excellence Vision: To cultivate graduates with technical competence,
innovative thinking, and socially responsible engineering practice aligned with
industry and global standards.
Innovation in Curriculum and Instruction
The program is supported by a CHED-recognized graduate degree complement with a valid
Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC), ensuring vertical alignment and continuous
academic development. Curriculum exceeds CHED PSG requirements under CMO No. 13, s. 2023
(BINDTECH) through industry-aligned, laboratory-intensive courses and extended
supervised industrial training.
Learner satisfaction mechanisms including the Online Evaluation for Teaching Effectiveness
(OLETE) and complementary student surveys are systematically implemented and
utilized to enhance instruction. Graduate satisfaction is monitored through the
university-wide Alumni Tracer Study to inform program review and curriculum improvement.
Faculty recognitions for technological innovations and scholarly dissemination further
affirm commitment to instructional quality and continuous improvement.
Applied Research and Technological Innovation
The program fosters a culture of applied research, invention, and technology-driven innovation.
Faculty actively design, develop, and fabricate technical outputs, instructional materials,
prototypes, and industry-aligned solutions.
- International journal publication (2018–2024)
- Patented and patent-pending innovations
- Award-winning applied research and creative outputs
Notable innovations include the Portable Precision Drilling Machine Enhancer
and the Automated Electro-Mechanical Solar Tracker System. Faculty engagement in creative
and applied projects is systematically documented, with initiatives to strengthen
research publication, patenting, and commercialization efforts.
Internationalization and Global Engagement
The program demonstrates a growing international outlook through faculty participation
in global scholarly and professional activities. Faculty have presented research and
technological innovations at international conferences, such as the 5th Hanseatic League
of Universities Conference, enhancing program visibility and fostering global collaboration.
NORSU’s hosting of PACUIT 2024 further facilitated academic exchange, technical
knowledge-sharing, and faculty development. Structured student exchange and joint
research initiatives are under development to provide global learning exposure
and international industry practices.
Faculty Qualification, Development, and Leadership
The Mechanical Technology program maintains strong academic leadership with 60% of
faculty holding doctoral degrees. Faculty performance is managed through the university's
standardized performance management system, ensuring accountability and alignment
with institutional goals.
- Institutional Faculty Development Program support
- Advanced studies, research engagement, and skills upgrading
- Industry-recognized technical trainings (e.g., DOST-MIRDC)
- Recognition for technological innovation and professional excellence
Graduate Outcomes and Competency Development
Graduate outcomes are systematically monitored through the university-wide tracer study,
tracking employment, academic progression, and professional development. Findings
inform curriculum review and instructional improvement. As a non-board program,
graduate quality is assessed through competency-based instruction, hands-on skills
development, and industry-aligned training.
