When the Philippine College of Commerce was transformed into the Polytechnic University of the Philippines in 1978, a Faculty of Technology was created and offered Bachelor in Technology Courses. This office was converted into the Institute of Technology in 1980 and with Dr. Romulo M. Ricafranca as Director, the Bachelor of Industrial Communication Engineering (BICE) was offered together with the other engineering degrees.
In 1985, Engr. German A. Padua was appointed Director of the Institute. It was in that year when a proposal came from an IE Faculty Engr. Ma. Theresa A. Bongulto to revise the BICE program and retitled it into Bachelor in Industrial Engineering (BIE).
When Dr. Nemesio E. Prudente became the President of PUP in 1986, he included the word science in each Engineering program which made BIE into what we call now Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE).
PUP IE Developments
1986April, the first Batch of Bachelor of Industrial Communication Engineering (BICE) graduates. There were about 35 students who equivalent to one (1) section who completed the course.
It was also in 1986 when the word "Science" was included in the program title under the Institute Dean. At this time the freshmen enrollees was increased to two (2) sections. There were seven (7) part-time faculty teaching the subjects of the course.
