'''FEU Institute of Technology''', also referred to as '''FEU Tech''', is a private, non-sectarian, coeducational higher education institution in Sampaloc, [[Manila]], [[Philippines]]. It offers courses in the fields of [[Engineering]] and [[Computer science|Computer Studies]]. Established in 1992 as East Asia Computer Center, Inc.(EACCI), an educational partnership of Asia Pacific Computer Technology Center, Intelligent Wave Inc., and [[Far Eastern University]].


FEU Tech is an [[Institute of Technology]]. It is cited by the [[Commission on Higher Education (Philippines)|Commission on Higher Education]] as a Center of Development in IT Education (CoD).<ref name=":1">https://ched.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/NCR.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref>
'''FEU - East Asia College'''FUCKK, formerly known as East Asia College of Information Technology (EACIT) and East Asia Institute of Computer Technology (EAICT) was established in 1992. EACIT is an educational partnership of [[Asia Pacific College]] (APC), [[Shoemart]], IBM Phils., IWI (Phils.), and [[Far Eastern University]] (FEU).


Located at the northeastern part of FEU Campus in the City of Manila which was the old site of the [[Far Eastern University - Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation|FEU Hospital]] in the mid 50s, the university acquired 90% shares of East Asia Computer Center, making EACIT a majority-owned subsidiary of FEU.
FEU Tech operates under the aegis of the Far Eastern University; it follows and is directly connected to the University. It is headed by Mr. Juan Miguel R. Montinola as President and Dr. Benson T. Tan as Senior Executive Director.
The College of Engineering and the East Asia College of Computer Studies now constitute the FEU East Asia College. It is one of the Top 5 IT Schools in the NCR Region and cited as a '''CHED Center of Development for Excellence in IT Education (CoDE)'''.


Like its sister schools, [[Far Eastern University – Nicanor Reyes Educational Foundation|FEU Diliman]] and [[Far Eastern University Alabang|FEU Alabang]], the college runs on a [[Academic term|trimester]] academic system. An academic year starts in the second week of August and ends every June.
FEU-EAC aims to develop computer professionals who will be prepared to fulfill the demands of business and industry. It expects to provide training programs aimed at preparing professionals with adequate foundations and practical skills, able to respond to the needs of an information-based and computer-oriented society.

'''FEU - East Asia Annex Building'''
In 1936, the Institute of Technology was created in response to the increasing demand for trained engineers and technologists. It offered courses in architecture, engineering, and chemistry. Subsequently, after the Institute found itself squeezed between the government's cap on tuition fee increase and the rising costs of providing quality education in engineering, the administration decided to phase it out in favor of computer technology programs and had the Institute of Technology closed in 1996.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=FEU Tech Student Handbook 2014 Edition|url=https://issuu.com/feutech/docs/student_handbook_2014.fin|access-date=2020-11-12|website=Issuu|date=6 August 2014 |language=en}}</ref>
