ICpEP aims to:

• Build a network of professionals and graduates of computer engineering in the country through member interaction and open communication. This is directed to the industry, academe, and government.
• Support the professional career of members through relevant training and exposure.
• Expand knowledge and specialization in computer engineering through research and development.

ICpEP envisions itself as the foundation of world-class Filipino computer engineering professionals and the motivator of interest towards excellence in computer engineering as a field of specialization.

The Early Years

In 1992, a group of computer engineers formed the Philippine Institute of Computer Engineers, Inc. (PhICEs). PhICEs initially gathered a number of professional members and held conventions, seminars, and symposia in various regions across Luzon and Visayas. However, after some years of activity, the organization became inactive.

Revival and Rebranding

In 2008, computer engineers from different organizations, led by Engr. Erwin G. Mendoza and Engr. Alexander B. Ybasco, came together to revive the organization. After several meetings, the group decided to change the name to the Institute of Computer Engineers of the Philippines, Inc. (ICpEP), marking a fresh start for the professional body.

Industry Partnerships

Since then, ICpEP has established strong partnerships with the industry. Leading companies such as Intel, Microsoft, HP, Lenovo, Epson, and Red Fox recognize ICpEP as the sole organization for computer engineers in the Philippines. Additionally, ICpEP collaborated with SM Mall of Asia and NIDO Fortified Science Discovery Center to promote research and development through exhibitions of notable computer engineering projects.

Academic Expansion

In 2008, ICpEP expanded its reach into academia by forming the ICpEP Student Edition (ICpEP.SE). Starting with 11 schools, ICpEP.SE has since grown to include over 68 schools nationwide.

Regional Chapters

In 2014, ICpEP expanded its structure by establishing regional chapters across the Philippines, each with its own ICpEP Student Edition (ICpEP.SE) counterpart. This expansion enabled the organization to better serve the diverse needs of computer engineering students and professionals in various regions, strengthening its nationwide reach.

NCR Chapter

The NCR Chapter has a strong presence and includes affiliations with several prominent institutions. These institutions actively participate in ICpEP activities, helping to foster a strong community of computer engineering students and professionals within the region.

Ongoing Commitment

ICpEP remains committed to uniting professionals and contributing to national development. With the support of both industry and academia, ICpEP continues to be the leading organization for Filipino computer engineers, striving to engage members in becoming active contributors to the global field.
