Through a commitment to both innovation and robust global collaborations, Mapúa MCM ensures that it produces highly-skilled graduates who are prepared for global career opportunities.

In response to the continuously expanding modern world, the institution answers the needs of industries by producing graduates who are well-equipped and highly in demand both locally and internationally. Mapúa MCM achieves this by applying the same well-known Mapúa standards, training, and preparing students through outcome-based education and digital learning.

Outcomes-Based Education (OBE)

Mapúa MCM’s Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) framework is central to the institution’s pursuit of quality education in Mindanao. The OBE framework is meticulously designed, exhibiting various activities, processes, and academic delivery services that are deemed essential for achieving specific educational targets for every program

The framework focuses on the achievement of three critical levels of outcomes:

  • Course Outcomes (COs)
  • Student Outcomes (SOs)
  • Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

The OBE framework serves as a comprehensive system for continuous quality improvement (CQI) and thorough evaluation. This regular evaluation, which is conducted under different committees, focuses on assessing the achievement of outcomes at all levels within the institution’s programs. The very structure of Mapúa MCM’s OBE framework reflects a clear recognition of the institution’s unwavering dedication to continuously enhancing its academic delivery services.

Innovative Learning Systems for a Digital Age

To effectively deliver its OBE goals and uphold world-class standards, Mapúa MCM uses advanced technological and instructional methods, ensuring education is both accessible and outcome-focused.

The Unique Learning System (ULS)

Part of Mapúa MCM’s commitment to a world-class education in Mindanao is the Unique Learning System (ULS). This system functions as a centralized management platform that provides access to content, educational tools, and resources for students. Through the ULS, Mapúa MCM addresses diverse academic needs and reinforces the principles of its outcome-based education.

Key features of the Unique Learning System include:

  • Flexibility: The ULS empowers students to progress at a pace that suits how they learn best, staying true to Outcomes-Based Education. This adaptability supports diverse learning styles while ensuring steady, meaningful academic progress.
  • Growth: Learning at Mapúa is designed around the student. Personalized academic pathways are aligned with current industry standards, reinforcing the University’s commitment to developing globally competitive graduates.
  • Interaction: Active collaboration between students and faculty is built into the system. This purposeful engagement strengthens understanding, encourages inquiry, and supports varied learning approaches.
  • Mastery: Students are guided toward deep subject mastery through deliberate practice and structured assessments, ensuring learning outcomes are not just completed, but fully achieved.
  • Evaluation: Continuous evaluation is integral to the learning process, allowing both students and faculty to monitor progress closely and ensure outcomes-based objectives are consistently met.

Blended and Flexible Instructional Approaches

In addition to the centralized ULS, Mapúa MCM uses specific instructional formats that harness the power of blended and digital learning environments, further strengthening its promise of a world-class experience.

  • Flipped Learning Model: This model centers on introducing students to their learning content—which may include pre-recorded lecture videos—before they work through the lessons directly with their teachers during class time. This approach aligns with the institution’s OBE principles by carrying instruction from a group setting into an individual learning space.
  • Flexible Learning Ubiquitous Experience (FLUX): FLUX is a course format designed as an instructional approach that successfully combines both traditional face-to-face instruction and modern online learning, actively contributing to the overall commitment to world-class education in Mindanao.

Fostering Global Competitiveness through Collaboration

A defining characteristic of Mapúa MCM’s pursuit of world-class education is its establishment of strong ties to leading institutions and major industry collaborators. These global collaborations are vital for equipping graduates with the life skills necessary to compete on an international stage.

A specific example of this commitment to a global education at Mapúa is the collaboration involving the College of Health Sciences and the Alfonso T. Yuchengco College of Business with Arizona State University®. This significant collaboration is instrumental in providing students with opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom.

Through such collaboration, students gain access to:

  • Global immersion opportunities
  • Digital mastery training
  • Real-world learning experiences
  • First-rate training

These comprehensive experiences ensure that students are thoroughly prepared for future professional success, establishing a new level of excellence in education at Mapúa MCM.
