About Us

The Civil Engineering program was founded back in 2001 under the College of Engineering. From the first batch of 14 students, the department has grown and was able to produce 108 graduates for the class of 2020 and 2021.

BS Architecture program is newly offered in the department starting SY2022-2023.

Currently, the Department is housed in the College of Science and Engineering with over 250 strong students.

Our Goals & Objectives

The overall goal of the civil engineering undergraduate program is to promote intellectual development of those interested in the civil engineering profession, and to produce graduates who possess the knowledge, skills and traits necessary for a successful career, and for assuming an influential role in the Civil Engineering profession. More specifically, the educational program objectives are to produce graduates who:

Possess a broad-based civil engineering education to successfully obtain professional expertise, and practice civil engineering in a wide range of professional settings including construction industries, consulting firms, and government agencies capable of responding to the challenges of times.
Exhibit professional growth throughout their careers by taking on increasing professional responsibilities, and pursue life-long learning through research and by participation in continuing professional education and or job-related training activities, and/or attending graduate school, and obtaining professional engineering license.
Demonstrate success and influential role in the practice of engineering by contributing to the economic well-being of their employers and society, Bicol in particular, and most importantly by dedicated service to God and humanity.

Our Vision

Thorough comprehensive civil engineering program and facilities, qualified faculty, multidimensional educational experience by using an innovative approach involving modern teaching technology, methodologies, research, and cura personalis, the civil engineering program will provide future graduates the technical knowledge and well-rounded character needed to develop into professionally competent and globally competitive engineers pursuing lifelong learning and assuming influential or leadership roles in the profession.

The program offers the opportunity to future graduates to engage in creative problem-solving activities through responsible planning, design, and implementation of engineering projects within the context of continuously changing national and global settings. It also offers opportunities to a wide range of career paths in civil engineering including consulting, governmental agencies in the industry, and research. In addition to the traditional careers in civil engineering, graduates may take advantage of their strong broad-based engineering education to pursue cars in other professions such as business law or in the academe.

The program will also prepare our graduates for advanced Masters Degrees with emphasis on technical specialization and the advancement of knowledge in several areas of Civil Engineering

Our Mission

The Civil engineering profession is the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines A civil engineer works with a wide range of individuals in both the public and private sectors to meet today's challenges of urban development, infrastructure rehabilitation, pollution, traffic congestion, floods, earthquakes and the negative effect of urban development. Civil engineers plan, design, and construct facilities essential to modern, civilized human life. Projects requiring civil engineering expertise vary widely in nature, sizes, and scope, such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, transportation systems, dams, airports, foundations, water treatment and distribution, wastewater collection and treatment, hazardous waste treatment, environmental remediation, environmental protection, and air pollution control.

From these expectations, the mission of the Civil Engineering Department is to advance the cause of the profession by offering a broad-based undergraduate education leading to a degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with emphasis on technical, professional, ethical, and societal responsibilities, imbued with Ignatian spirituality associated with the 4C’s of the Profile of Graduates of the university.
