Mapúa University Partner with Altair Global Academic Program
Mapúa University teams up with Altair to create a Center of Excellence (CoE), making it the first Philippine university to have its own private, managed cloud infrastructure. This setup enhances hands-on learning and research opportunities, offering top-notch software and computing resources. Industry experts lead workshops and tutorials, enriching students' knowledge.
The CoE certification also gives students an edge in job placements and virtual internships. It prepares them for competitions, research projects, and the creation of new courses and study plans.
The collaboration will strengthen the Altair Global Academic Program and advance its digital transformation and research initiatives. In addition, Altair's RapidMiner will transform the educational landscape of Mapúa University and its subsidiaries, the Mapua Malayan Colleges in Mindanao and Laguna.
