THE Automated Guideway Transit (AGT), an alternative mass transportation technology designed and developed by the Department of Science and Technology–Metals Industry Research and Development Center (DoST-MIRDC), is the most important factor that led to the decision of the Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) to offer railway engineering as an additional program under its College of Engineering and Architecture.

The DoST-Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development, and the BPSU signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for the installation of the AGT at the BPSU on Jan. 27, 2022.
