Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering (BSECE)

The Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering (BSECE) develops engineers with sufficient background in mathematics, natural/physical sciences and tool courses in engineering that are necessary to solve problems in the field of Electronics Engineering. It is composed of academic units in Mathematics, Natural/Physical Sciences, Basic Engineering Sciences, Allied Courses, Professional Electronics Engineering Courses, Elective Courses, Social Sciences, Humanities, Languages, Mandated Course, Physical Education, and National Training Service Program.

Admission Requirements

Must have at least obtained an integrated (with NSAT) high school average of 87%
Must have a grade of 87% or higher in Math and Science
Must be qualified in the PUPCET having obtained a rating of not less than 87%
Must have passed the Electronics and Communications Engineering qualifying interview and aptitude test as implemented by the College of Engineering

Retention Requirements

Electronics and Communications Engineering students who intend to continue the third year course of study are required to successfully complete the first and second year requirement including the National Service Training Program (NSTP) and must take the College of Engineering Qualifying Exam (CEQE) for incoming third year. Students who pass the CEQE may then pursue higher Civil Engineering subjects. On the other hand, a student who failed the CEQE may not be enrolled in higher major/professional subjects until such time that the student has passed the exam. Alternatively, in any other case, students who failed to meet the requirement related to retention guidelines will be disqualified to pursue the program and dismissed from the department (CEQE official requirement and guidelines is adopted in this program).

Other retention requirement re those stated at PUP Student Handbook. These are guidelines in retention and academic delinquencies, students who failed to meet this University academic standing requirement can be subjected to warning, reduction in load, probation and dismissal from the course.

The students must finish the requirement of the Electronics and Communications Engineering program within seven and half years or a period equivalent to one-and-a-half times the normal length of the prescribed residences for the College of Engineering courses. Otherwise, he/she shall not be readmitted in to the College. In case a student is officially given permission for leave of absences, the leave shall not be included in the computation of tenure.
