Civil Engineering Department

BS Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is a profession that applies the basic principles of science in conjunction with mathematical and computational tools to solve problems associated with developing and sustaining civilized life on our planet. Civil Engineering works are generally one-of-a-kind projects; they are often grand in scale; and they usually require cooperation among professionals of many different disciplines. The completion of a civil engineering project involves the solution of technical problems in which information from numerous sources and myriad non-technical factors play a significant role. Some of the most common examples of civil engineering works include bridges, buildings, dams, airports and hangars, ports and harbors, highways and railways, tunnels, river and shore improvement, lighthouses, dry docks, irrigations, flood protection, drainage, water supply, and towers. Civil Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines both in terms of the range of problems that fall within its purview and in the range of knowledge required to solve those problems.

Electronics and Computer Engineering Department

BS Computer Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BS CpE) is a program that embodies the science and technology of design, development, implementation, maintenance and integration of software and hardware components in modern computing systems and computer-controlled equipment
With the ubiquity of computers, computer – based systems and networks in the world today, computer engineers must be versatile in the knowledge drawn from standard topics in computer science and electrical engineering as well as the foundations in mathematics and sciences. Because of the rapid pace of change in the computing field, computer engineers must be life – long learners to maintain their knowledge and skills within their chosen discipline.

An important distinction should be made between computer engineers, electrical engineers, other computer professionals and engineering technologists. While such distinctions are sometimes ambiguous, computer engineers should satisfy the following three characteristics: (1) Posses the ability to design computers, computer – based systems and networks that include both hardware and software and their integration to solve novel engineering problems, subject to trade – offs involving a set of competing goals and constraints. In this context, “design” refers to a level of ability beyond “assembling” or “configuring” systems; (2) Have a breadth of knowledge in mathematics and engineering sciences, associated with the broader scope of engineering and beyond that narrowly required for the field; (3) Acquire and maintain a preparation for professional practice in engineering.

BSCpE program has been designed to produce career – ready students such that students can already take several globally – recognized IT certification exams. Its curriculum has been designed to prepare students to take globally – recognized IT certification exams, such as: (1) C Programming Language Certified Associate (CLA); (2) C++ Certified Associate Programmer (CPA); (3) C++ Certified Professional Programmer (CPP); (4) Python Certified Associate Programmer (PCAP); (5) Linux Essentials Professional Development Certificate; (6) CISCO Certified Entry-Level Network Technician (CCENT); and (7) CISCO Certified Network Associate (CCNA). This skill certification will therefore make them eligible for employment in companies that require their qualified skills.

BS Electronics Engineering

In consonance with the field of specializations of the Electronics Engineering Profession stipulated in Section 5, Article 1 of the Republic Act 9292 also known as Electronics Engineering Law, the degree program herein shall be called BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING (BSECE).

The scope and nature of practice of the Electronics Engineer shall embrace and consist of any work or activity relating to the application of engineering sciences and/or principles to the investigation, analysis, synthesis, planning, design, specification, research and development, provision, procurement, marketing and sales, manufacture and production, construction and installation, tests/measurements/control, operation, repair, servicing, technical support and maintenance of electronic components, devices, products, apparatus, instruments, equipment, systems, networks, operations and processes in the fields of electronics, including communications and/or telecommunications, information and communications technology (ICT), computers and their networking and hardware/firmware/software development and applications, broadcast/broadcasting, cable and wireless television, consumer and industrial electronics, electro- optics/photonics/optoelectronics, electromagnetics, avionics, aerospace, navigational and military applications, medical electronics, robotics, cybernetics, biometrics and all other related and convergent fields; it also includes the administration, management, supervision and regulatory aspects of such works and activities; similarly included are those teaching and training activities which develop the ability to use electronic engineering fundamentals and related advanced knowledge in electronics engineering, including lecturing and teaching of technical and professional subjects given in the electronics engineering (RA9292, 2004)

 

Mathematics Department

BS Mathematics

The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (BS Math) degree program “provides students with substantial exposure to the breadth and depth of mathematics, from classical to contemporary, and from theoretical to applied. The curriculum covers foundational courses in core areas of mathematics/applied mathematics as well as advanced courses that will help prepare graduates to pursue higher studies or work in a variety of fields” (CMO n. 48 s. 2017, p. 5).
Natural Sciences Department

BS Biology

The BS Biology program is structured as a generalized framework of study with the end view of grounding students with the fundamental concepts, principles, and theories of the biological, natural and physical sciences and the conduct of research. The core program in the curriculum ensures the basic concepts of biology: structure/function; regulation, growth; development and evolution. The program is designed also to meet the needs of professional biologists who can engage in research in all levels of biological complexity from the molecules to ecosystems, where their properties and interactions are analyzed through the acquisition and application of skills and training in the processing and presentation of biological information.

BS Environmental Management

The BS Environmental Management program is an inter-disciplinary study that provides students with relevant knowledge, tools, and skills to identify and assess qualitative and quantitative, scientific and technical components of environmental issues. This program incorporates avenues for students to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge in sound environmental protection, conservation, utilization, planning, and management. The program is designed to meet the need for environmental managers who can engage in the complexities of the emerging and re-emerging environmental problems through an application of research and skills in the fields of air, soil, and water quality management, energy and resource management, planning and design, waste management, environmental impact assessment, conservation, geographic information systems, and environmental monitoring and modeling.
