The University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Engineering, or "UST-Eng'g", is the engineering school of the University of Santo Tomas, the oldest and the largest Catholic university in Manila, Philippines.
Established on May 18, 1907, the faculty is the first engineering school in the Philippines. It is proclaimed as a Center of Excellence in Chemical Engineering and as a Center of Development in Civil Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering by the Commission on Higher Education.
The Faculty of Engineering of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) is the oldest engineering school in the Philippines. It was established on May 18, 1907, as School of Civil Engineering with one program offering leading to the degree of Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSCE). From faculty records, it appears that it was only in 1912 when the earliest batch of students were conferred their MSCE degrees. The institution was actually patterned after the University of Havana in Cuba and was first set up at the second floor of the old UST building in Intramuros. Taking into consideration the pioneering works of the teaching staff and students, the college got its first taste of prestige as the government, under President Manuel L. Quezon gave her recognition on July 12, 1921.
After the formation of the Engineering's Students' Association in 1927, the first Engineering Student Council was organized the following year. Three years later, in 1930, the school established Architecture as its new program, with Rev. Fr. Roque Ruaño, O.P. as the new school dean. In 1931, UST Engineering included Plane and Spherical Trigonometry on its curriculum.
