The institution specializes in engineering, architecture, technology, education, and applied sciences, operating from its main campus along Peñafrancia Avenue.

Classes were first conducted in the Camarines Sur High School library hall, marking the beginning of technical education in the region.

In 1924, under the leadership of Doroteo Federis, the school expanded its curriculum to include secondary-level vocational courses, significantly broadening its educational scope.

A pivotal moment in the institution's early development came in 1925 with the construction of the historic Gabaldon building on a 25,699-square-meter plot donated by the provincial government.

The pre-war period saw further expansion under Principal Cornelio Casaclang, who introduced comprehensive woodworking courses to enhance the technical curriculum.

This period marked substantial academic expansion, including the introduction of the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Education (BSIE) program.

The university maintains strong community ties through extension programs and technology transfer initiatives, contributing to regional development.

Modern facilities include engineering laboratories, technology research centers, digital learning spaces, and sports complexes, supporting both academic and extracurricular activities.
