Case Study "Why there is no board examination for Computer Engineering in Philippines?"
Since the computer engineering curriculum was released in the 1990s, there has been discussion as to why there is no board exam for the course until today. Computer engineering, as we all know, is a discipline of engineering that combines electronics engineering with computer science to create computer hardware and/or software.
The Philippine Institute of Computer Engineers INC (PHICES) was the first formal computer engineering organization, however it is no longer operating. PHICES was renamed the Institute of Computer Engineers of the Philippines in 2008. (ICpEP). Today, ICpEP continues to bring together experts in pursuit of excellence.
There has been no news about the computer engineering board exam since the establishment of these two colleges. In addition, Google searches for "computer engineering board exam 2019"
are common. As a result, many CpE graduates are preparing for board exams.
Furthermore, questions such as "Why don't computer engineers in the Philippines have board exams?" are common. Similarly, the keywords "Reasons why computer engineers in the
Philippines do not have board exams" are still prevalent, as is the 2011 post about the use of the term ENGR for CpEs.
It is true that technology is rapidly developing nowadays. And that technology from yesterday is not the same as it is now or in the future. Computer software, for example, can become obsolete owing to infections, thus updates are installed. Similarly, old technology was phased out in order to avert security breaches. Similarly, your 2004 thesis has evolved and become more powerful as a result of upgrades and integrations of many devices. Furthermore, CPUs and other computer peripherals are continually evolving.
However, as we can see and comprehend, "COMPUTER ENGINEERING" encompasses more than just computers; remember the word engineering. In that case, I believe the board exam should include engineering mathematics, as it does in other engineering professions. Exams in computer areas, on the other hand, should include computer architecture, microprocessors, and so on.
Before the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) can provide us board exams in the
Philippines, there must be an approved/signed LAW. They have an existent statute, just as any other technical sector with board exams.

A bill must first be introduced in both the lower and higher houses (Congress/House of
Representatives and Senate). Both houses will study and alter the law before sending it to the
President of the Philippines for signature and approval.
The CPE Bill was introduced today at the ICpEP's 7th General Assembly. It is also being revised by ICpEP board members and governors.
Furthermore, I spoke with several specialists during the Gen assembly and was astonished by what I heard. A CPE Bill had been available since the 2000s, but it was thwarted by various engineering organizations.

If you pass this board exam, you will be a certified computer engineer. You can now carry out and use computer engineering principles. The board will offer you a certificate and an ID card,
and your name will be entered into a database of ICpEP board passes.
You are not eligible to take the board test if you are a CpE graduate but not a member of our organization. You must also be a fully registered member of ICpEP. As a result, I encourage every CpE graduate to participate in the board's success by becoming a member.
Certification and licensure coexist. "Certification is a non-governmental/private body that offers recognition to an individual who has met predetermined qualifications specified by that organization," according to nremt.org. In this situation, ICpEP is the private organization that oversees the board exams for computer engineers.
On the other hand, license is the state's grant of legal authority to practice a profession within a specified area of practice, granted in accordance with the state's police authorities. In the
Philippines, the PRC is in charge of overseeing the issuing of licenses for different professions.
Both certification and licensure require a board exam. The sole distinction is the regulatory organization in charge of handling and issuing IDs. Nonetheless, they are on equal footing. You might also wonder if you can use the Engr. if you were fortunate enough to pass the exam.
