Computer Engineering

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCpE) program equips students with the knowledge and skills to design, develop, and integrate hardware and software systems. It emphasizes practical applications in embedded systems, computer networks, and emerging technologies such as IoT and artificial intelligence, preparing graduates to address current and future challenges in modern computing systems and intelligent devices.

OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION (OBE) FRAMEWORK

The Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach is characterized by a continuous and cyclical learning process, spanning four key steps:

(a)  Plan (Syllabus Writing/Review): In this phase, the Course Outcomes are meticulously aligned with the Program Educational Objectives (PEO), Program Outcomes (PO), and Graduate Attributes. The syllabi are designed to incorporate strategies for achieving these outcomes, forming a comprehensive learning plan. Additionally, the plan includes methodologies for measuring the outcomes through well-defined assessment tools.

(b)  Implement (Course Delivery): This step involves the actual execution of the learning plan and strategies outlined in the syllabi. Faculty members deliver the courses with a focus on producing the desired outcomes, employing various teaching and learning strategies.

(c)  Measure / Assess (Assessment): The assessment phase is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of the learning strategies. The planned methods for measuring the learning outcomes and objectives are carried out, generating data that is then systematically collected and analyzed. This phase provides an opportunity to obtain valuable feedback on the educational process.

(d)  Respond / Improve (Continuous Quality Improvement): The final step revolves around determining necessary improvements based on the assessment results. This feedback-driven phase serves as the foundation for making changes to enhance the educational process continually. These changes may involve refining the learning plan, modifying strategies, or even revising outcomes and objectives. The improvements identified become the basis for the next cycle of the OBE process, ensuring an ongoing commitment to excellence.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEO)

The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering Program of Southern Leyte State University are statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments of the BSCpE graduates after about five years from graduation.

The following are the PEOs of the BSCpE program:

PROGRAM OUTCOMES (PO)

Program Outcomes (PO) are narrow statements that describe outcomes (knowledge, skills, abilities, values) of what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation.

Common to all programs in all types of schools

a)  Recognize the need for, and engage in life-long learning;

b)  Communicate effectively thru oral and in writing using both English and Filipino;

c)  Know contemporary issues. 

Common to Engineering

d)  Apply knowledge of mathematics and sciences to solve engineering problems;

e)  Design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data;

f)   Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability in accordance with standards;

g)  Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems;

h) Apply techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice; and;

i)   Know and understand engineering and management principles as a member and/or leader in a team to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
