Program Description

The BSGE curriculum is designed to train students in the field of Geodetic Engineering. It enables them to attain the basic competencies such as establishment of geodetic control network; collection of ground data using various methodologies and techniques; processing, evaluation and analysis of collected data; quality assurance of outputs in accordance with the accepted standards and specifications; conduct of research and development activities; and development of business entrepreneurial skills. It also likewise uphold the dignity and integrity of the Geodetic Engineering Profession.

The curriculum is also specifically designed to meet the educational challenge by emphasizing fundamental knowledge, transferable skills, and lifelong learning.

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

After several years of completion of the program, the graduates are expected to demonstrate the following:

• • 1. Mastery of knowledge, techniques, skills in modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice,
  • 2. Develop one’s professional, social and ethical responsibility and relate these to professional goals,
  • 3. Capability in conducting experiments, design, project study/research whether independently or as part of the group,
  • 4. Capability in demonstrating global competitiveness in his/her field of specialization to his/her global work environment,
  • 5. Work effectively in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams, and
  • 6. Engage in life-long learning and an understanding of the need to keep current of the developments in the specific field of practice.
