Civil Engineering is a profession that applies the basic principles of science in conjunction with mathematical and computational tools to solve problems associated with developing and sustaining civilized life on our planet. Civil Engineering works are generally one-of-a-kind projects; they are often grand in scale; and they usually require cooperation among professionals of many different disciplines. The completion of a civil engineering project involves the solution of technical problems in which information from numerous sources and myriad non-technical factors play a significant role. Some of the most common examples of civil engineering works include bridges, buildings, dams, airports and hangars, ports and harbors, highways and railways, tunnels, river and shore improvements, lighthouses, dry docks, irrigations, flood protection, drainage, water supply, and towers. Enumeration of any work in this section shall not be construed as excluding any other work requiring civil engineering knowledge and application.
Civil Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines both in terms of the range of problems that fall within its purview and in the range of knowledge required to solve those problems.
The Civil Engineering curriculum is designed to prepare graduates to apply knowledge of mathematics, calculus-based physics, chemistry, and at least one additional area of basic science, consistent with the BSCE Program Educational Objectives; apply knowledge of technical areas appropriate to civil engineering; conduct civil engineering experiments and analyze and interpret the resulting data; design a system component, or process in more than one civil engineering context; explain basic concepts in management, business, public policy, and leadership; and explain the importance of professional licensure.
The BSCE curriculum has five (5) tracks of specialization (a) Construction Engineering and Management, (b) Geotechnical Engineering, (c) Structural Engineering, (d) Transportation Engineering, and (e) Water Resources Engineering . It is designed to prepare graduates in accordance with the institutional and program outcomes.
The curriculum has a total of 211 credit units, comprising of 152 units of technical courses. These technical courses include 15 units of mathematics, 10 units of natural/physical sciences, 28 units of basic engineering sciences, 6 units of allied courses, 74 units of professional courses (common), 15 units of professional courses (specialized), 4 units on the job training (OJT),
The non-technical courses in accordance with CMO 20 s. 2013 - The New General Education Curriculum consists of 59 units of general education courses distributed as follows: 33 units of core courses, 9 units of GEC electives, and 3 units of Life and Works of Rizal.
The new GEC also includes 8 units of Physical Education (PE), and 6 units of National Service Training Program (NSTP).
Three to five years after graduation, the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering alumni shall:
PEO 1: Demonstrating Engineering Profession.Employed and/or practiced in the field of Civil Engineering such as but not limited to Construction Engineering and Management, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Transportation Engineering, and Water Resources Engineering, or other related fields.
PEO 2: Social and Ethical Responsibility. Committed members of professional and other allied organizations engaging in community development and nation-building.
PEO 3: Lifelong Learning. Involved in continuous training and development in current trends and advancements in their fields of specialization.
The minimum standards for the BS Civil Engineering program are expressed in the following minimum set of institutional and BSCE program outcomes. The Program Outcomes also conform to the Level 6 Descriptors as specified in the Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF).
By the time of graduation, the students of the program shall have the ability to:
The scope of the practice of Civil Engineering is defined in the Civil Engineering Law of 1950 or R.A. 544 and embrace services in the form of consultation, design, preparation of plans, specifications, estimates, erection, installation and supervision of the construction of streets, bridges, highways, railroads, airports and hangars, port works, canals, river and shore improvements, lighthouses, and dry docks; buildings, fixed structures for irrigation, flood protection, drainage, water supply and sewerage works; demolition of permanent structures; and tunnels. The enumeration of any work in this section shall not be construed as excluding any other work requiring civil engineering knowledge and application.
The teaching of professional civil engineering subjects in the curriculum of the BSCE degree or a subject in the Civil Engineering licensure examination given in any school, college, university or other CHED recognized educational institution is also considered as practice of Civil Engineering.
To be retained in the BSCE program, students must:
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 Civil 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.
The PUP Student Handbook (2013 Revision) stipulates the graduation requirements as follows:
