BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

In addition to conscious motivation, the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program requires good knowledge of basic calculus and sciences— both natural and physical—so that students, along with the outcomes-based method of teaching and learning, can wade through the streams of higher mathematics and core courses that serve as foundation in gaining the ability to: calculate forces that act upon horizontal and vertical structures; analyze the effects of forces and response of structures; determine the properties and behavior of construction materials; estimate the quantity and cost of materials for construction; determine water velocity and flow rates either in pipes or open channels; and estimate flow velocity, flow rates and volumes in rivers and natural waterways. The program, through the professional and elective courses, trains the students to: design horizontal and vertical structures; manage construction projects and design water supply systems, flood protection, and control structures; perform land development planning and consultancy, and work as part of a team. The program provides hands-on training to students through internship in partner construction industries, consultancy groups, government and non-government organizations and related industries. The program provides opportunities for the students to offer solution to problems of our partner communities through Community Extension Services (CES) and Education with a Mission (EDM) programs and activities.
