Department of Civil Engineering

A group of professionals started the Civil Engineering degree program in 1982 as a curriculum offering of the then MMSU Institute of Technology (IT). The course was offered both in Laoag and Batac campuses under the supervision of the IT dean.

On May 29, 1985, the Civil Engineering degree program ceased to be supervised by IT. The curriculum was then revised to suit the requisites of the board of civil engineering.

It was in 1986, with the newly revised curriculum, when the Civil Engineering degree program was transferred to the Batac Campus when the College of Engineering and Technology was established and marked the birth of the Civil Engineering Department. The college was renamed College of Engineering in 1993.

As of today, with the help and guidance of the dedicated Civil Engineering faculty members, a lot of BSCE graduates became topnotchers in the past CE Licensure Examinations. It produced also a lot of successful professionals, managers, and supervisors in the civil engineering industry, locally and globally. Many of the graduates also are now owners of their own construction firms.

The Civil Engineering Department has 13 Civil Engineers and 2 Architects as faculty members. Three(3) of them are holders of MS in Civil Engineering (MSCE) degree, 1 holder of MS in Management Engineering (MSME) degree, 3 are about to finish MSCE and 1 already completed the academic requirements for MSME. The BSCE program is applying for Level IV accreditation from AACCUP. For now, the department is offering two tracks for the BSCE program; Structural Engineering track and the Construction Engineering and Management track but envisions offering more civil engineering specializations in the coming years and commit to helping in BUILDING the future.

Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

Description of Program

     The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) is a four-year degree program that aims to train highly qualified graduates who would become professionals in all phases of civil engineering with emphasis on planning, design, consultation, preparation of plans, specifications and estimates, erection, management, and supervision of the construction of roads, bridges, highways, railroads, airports and hangars, port works, canals, rivers and shore improvements, lighthouses, dry docks, buildings, fixed structures for irrigation, flood protection, drainage, water supply, and sewerage works. Prepares the graduates to practice specializations such as Structural Engineering and Construction Engineering and Management.
