Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering (BSECE)

Program Description

The Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering (BSECE) is a four-year baccalaureate degree in the College of Engineering which specifically deals with  the development and application of devices and systems involving the flow of electrons  or other  carriers of electric charges in a vacuum, gaseous media, plasma, semiconductors and other similar devices and in applications involving optical, electromagnetics and other energy forms  transduced or converted into electronic signals.

The program incorporates training and developing  lifelong learners  who are professionally and socially responsible and with globally competitive technical and non-technical skills. The technical skills involve adaptive critical thinking and problem-solving techniques, and the non-technical skills include (but not limited to) communication, leadership, and management.

Program Educational Objectives

Three to five years after graduation, the BS Electronics Engineering alumni shall:

PEO 1: Demonstrating Engineering Profession.
Graduates will be involved in continuous training and development in addressing community needs, current trends and advancements in the field of microelectronics, power electronics, telecommunications, information and communication technology and other allied specialized fields.

PEO 2: Social and Ethical Responsibility.
Graduates will be committed members of professional and other allied organizations engaging in community development or nation-building.

PEO 3: Lifelong Learning.
Graduates will be involved in continuous training and development in current trends and advancements in their chosen fields of specialization.

Student Outcomes

1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex electronics engineering problems.
2. Conduct investigations of complex electronics engineering problems using research-based knowledge and research methods, including design of experiments, analysis, and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
3. Design solutions for complex electronics engineering problems and design systems, components, or processes that meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, cultural, and sustainability, in accordance with standards.
4. Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.
5. Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze complex electronics engineering problems, reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
6. Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities, and norms of engineering practice.
7. Communicate effectively on complex electronics engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
8. Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of professional engineering work in the solution of complex electronics engineering problems in a global, economic, societal, and environmental context.
9. Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
10. Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues, and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solutions to complex electronics engineering problems.
11. Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, skills, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling, to complex electronics engineering problems with an understanding of the limitations.
12. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

Retention Requirements

Unlocking Second Year Level: College Retention Policy

1.  A student shall be eligible for admission into the second-year level of any degree program within the College of Engineering upon obtaining a General Weighted Average (GWA) of 2.25 or higher, excluding Physical Education (PE) and the National Service Training Program (NSTP). The GWA shall be computed based solely on the student’s academic performance during the first year, encompassing both the first and second semesters.
2. Students who have a general weighted average (GWA) of 2.25 or higher but have received a failing grade are required to take the qualifying examination.
3. Students who obtain a General Weighted Average (GWA) below 2.25, excluding grades in Physical Education (PE) and the National Service Training Program (NSTP), shall be required to take the Qualifying Examinations as a condition for admission into the second year level of any degree program in the College of Engineering.

Computed General Weighted Average	Qualifying Examination Result	Decision
2.25 and Better	Passed	Qualified for Second Year Level
2.25 and Better	Failed	On Probationary
2.25 and Below	Passed	On Probationary
2.25 and Below	Failed	Advised for Shifting

For Academic Monitoring and Counselling. A student should pass all his/her subjects for 2 semesters.

The ECE Department Monitors all first-year students with GWA of 2.01 and below. 

Graduation Requirements

The PUP Student Handbook (2019 Revision) stipulates the graduation requirements as follows:

1. A candidate for graduation shall file his/her application for graduation online using his/her SIS account within the period indicated in the University calendar.
2. An application for graduation of the student can be processed only if he/she has obtained passing grades in all his/her subjects required in the curriculum.
3. A student shall be recommended for graduation when he/she has satisfied all academic and other requirements prescribed by the University.
4. No student shall be allowed to graduate from the University unless he/she has earned therein more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the academic units required in his/her curriculum and has been cleared from accountabilities.
5. A candidate for graduation shall have his/her deficiencies made up and his/her records cleared not later than two weeks before the end of his/her last semester.
6. All candidates for graduation are required to attend the graduation or commencement rites as no degree is conferred in absentia.
