With strong backgrounds in both Chemical Engineering and in Pulp and Paper Science and Technology, it is expected that this program will produce globally competitive professionals equipped with the knowledge of the process involved in converting wood and fibers, and recycling the same, into paper. Students of this program may take the thesis or practicum option. Both options require 27 units of Pulp and Paper courses, 39 units of Chemical Engineering and 6 units of thesis/practicum. Department of Civil Engineering http://dce.uplb.edu.ph/ * Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BS CE) One of the most important aspects of rural development in the Philippines is the continuing need for infrastructures for transportation, communication, commerce, education, human settlements, energy development and agriculture. In the age of modern technology and interdependence of people and institutions, civil engineers constitute a specialized group of trained manpower whose expertise is indispensable for the design and construction of infrastructures for public and private use. The Southern Tagalog Region, in particular, is an emerging agro-industrial center with a high-projected need for irrigation and drainage, roads, bridges, manufacturing plants, agro-processing facilities, warehouses and port development. There are parallel high growth needs in residential homes, business offices, water supply systems and waste-disposal facilities. In the total picture, competent civil engineering graduates with other professionals are needed to effect the development of structural systems that are safe, economical and efficient. UPLB seeks to help upgrade in the long run, the quality of civil engineering education in the country, particularly in the Southern Tagalog Region. Department of Electrical Engineering Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BS EE) This curricular program offers an excellent opportunity for the students to acquire solid academic preparations in electrical and electronic circuit theory and analysis. Graduates of the program are expected to be fully equipped and able to enhance the level of their competencies as they chart their professional careers in the development mainstreams, particularly in power, electronic and computer engineering including equipment/instrument design. This curricular program was conceived in response to the dire need for well-trained electrical and electronic engineers in all sectors of development, both on the local and global scale. In the Philippines, graduates of electrical engineering are key players as the country modernizes in agriculture systems and accelerates in rural-urban and industrial base for the 21st century. Each student can specialize in one or more of the following fields: (a) power engineering, (b) electronic engineering and (c) computer engineering. Moreover, the student may choose a thesis research or practicum as a specialization course.
