History

In 1992, a group of computer engineers formed a professional organization for computer engineers, the Philippine Institute of Computer Engineers, or PhICEs. But after years of being active and conducting conventions, seminars, and symposia to fellow computer engineers and students, PhICEs became inactive.[5][6]

In 2008, several computer engineers tried to revive the professional organization after it's been inactive for years. Then the organization was reformed as Institute of Computer Engineers of the Philippines.[5][6]
