Background

Vision of CEAT

Excellence in engineering education, research and extension; committed to progressive transformation and global relevance of Philippine Agriculture and Industry

Mission of DCE

To produce quality Civil Engineering graduates with a strong sense of professionalism by:

  1. Continually upgrading the BSCE program;
  2. Providing well-rounded education that includes an appreciation for the humanities, a commitment to the protection of the environment and a deep sense of ethical principles for sound and professional practice; and
  3. Spearheading scholarly research and development from the different niches of Civil Engineering based on the highest international standards.

 

Program Educational Objectives

To continuously ensure that the UPLB BSCE program consistently meets global standards and enhances its credibility and attractiveness to prospective students and employers, the Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are currently being revised as follows:

From:

  1. Engage in teaching civil engineering subjects for HEI, consultation, inspection and management services on the design and construction of civil engineering projects.
  2. Occupy responsible position in public or private institutions involved in civil engineering projects.
  3. Own or manage civil engineering-based business enterprise.
  4. Hold leadership in research and development, training and extension work, and consultancy services in the different fields of civil engineering.
  5. Pursue advanced studies in civil engineering and other emerging related fields

To: Three to five years after graduation, the graduates of the BS in Civil Engineering program should:

  1. Demonstrate technical expertise in Civil Engineering by working in collaboration with built environment professionals such as architects, planners, policymakers, regulators, and other fields.
  2. Exhibit leadership and collaborative skills working in interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and multicultural teams.
  3. Engage in life-long learning through the completion of graduate degree and professional development through continuing education courses or industrial training courses.

 

 

 

 Program Learning Outcomes

To more effectively capture the key components of target competencies as well as meet the requirements of global standards, the Program Learning Outcomes (PLO)/ Student Outcomes (SO) of the BS CE Program are currently being aligned with the PLOs/SOs developed by ABET for engineering programs. The streamlining process also aligns with feedback from stakeholders meeting and the CEAT faculty workshop on Outcome-Based Education (OBE).

From: A graduate of the BS Civil Engineering should have the ability to:

  1. Articulate the latest developments in their specific field of practice;
  2. Effectively communicate orally and in writing using both English and Filipino languages;
  3. Work effectively and independently in multi-disciplinary and multicultural teams;
  4. Demonstrate professional, social and ethical responsibility, especially in practicing intellectual property rights and sustainable development; and
  5. Preserve and promote “Filipino historical and cultural heritage”.
  6. Apply knowledge of mathematics and science to solve engineering problems;
  7. Design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data;
  8. Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability, in accordance with standards;
  9. Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning;
  10. Understand contemporary issues;
  11. Use techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
  12. Apply knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles as a member and a leader in a team to manage projects and in multidiscplinary environments
  13. Apply knowledge, skills, and experiences acquired from research, innovationeering, and internship to create innovative technologies and employment opportunities;
  14. Develop solutions to civil engineering problems; and
  15. Assess the effects and impact of civil engineering projects on the environment and society.
  16. Lead with honor and excellence in public service and in fields of practice.

 

To: A graduate of the BS Civil Engineering program
should have an ability to:

  1. 1. Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
  3. Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
  5. Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  6. Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  7. Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
