The USC Engineering-Industry Linkage Program (EILP) is a program that started as a voluntary effort between the academe and the industry. Its objective is to share responsibility in complementing the education of the students and augmenting faculty members' experience, which are made possible through the Student Immersion Program, Faculty Special Projects, Seminars and Plant Visits. In so doing, the gap between theoretical learning and application in the industrial and /or commercial setting will be addressed.

• As with other academe-industry linkage program, the College of Engineering linkage program espoused the following objectives:



• The upgrading of the status of engineering education and practice so that industry will be able to draw top caliber engineers into the various industrial fields;



• The incorporation into the curricula of the College technology and practice applicable to the industry;



• The development of mechanism for the exchange of technical knowledge of expertise between the College of Engineering of the University of San Carlos and the Industry as well as with other academic institutions for their mutual benefit; and



• Strengthening the efforts for potential collaborative research works between the academe and the industry.

The College of Engineering has established linkages with various companies since the engineering – industry linkage program was conceptualized in 1990. To date the program has topped more than 100 companies from the microelectronics, semiconductor, electronics, electrical, manufacturing, food processing, petroleum and chemical processing, construction, transportation and communication and information technology sector.
