On September 2012, the college prepared and presented the project organization and project plan to CHED. The PUP on the other hand, prepared details of the technical requirements of laboratory equipment/ modules and facilities which started last October and expected to commence this December. On the first quarter of 2013, the training center is aimed to be implemented. The PUP faculties who trained at Nanyang Polytechnic International in Singapore will be in charge in the supervision of training programs at the center while the office of the Dean of PUP College of Engineering will monitor the project according to the level of achievement of project objectives and problems met.

The training center would house complete set of equipment for power electronics, microcontrollers and embedded systems, motion/sequence control and programmable logic controllers with robotic applications including the computer sets. It is aimed that the laboratory center would enhance the competency requirements in instrumentation and automation processes for both instructors and students fitted with industry standards.

The CHED-PUP tie up in establishing this state-of-the-art Industrial Electronics Laboratory will be a great tool in the College of Engineering in gearing towards becoming the center of excellence in engineering education.
