Philippine Engineering Journal

The Philippine Engineering Journal (PEJ) serves as a medium of exchange of technical information and dissemination of engineering knowledge through the publication of original technical papers such as original articles, review articles, or short communications in the field of engineering. Published semi-annually by the University of the Philippines National Engineering Center (UP NEC), it is being distributed at reasonable rates to schools, professional organizations, international entities, and practitioners. PEJ articles may be accessed on U.P. Diliman Journals Online (http://journals.upd.edu.ph/).

 

The PEJ invites authors who wish to publish their works in the fields of chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, electronics and communications engineering, geodetic engineering, energy engineering, environmental engineering, industrial engineering and operations research, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, metallurgical engineering, mining engineering, and other engineering fields. Should you be interested to submit a manuscript, please refer to the guidelines below.
