School of Engineering and Architecture

BRIEF HISTORY

The School of Engineering and Architecture (SEA) traces its beginnings in 1986 when the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Program was opened under the College of Arts and Sciences. This was during the presidency of Rev. Fr. Bel San Luis and Engr. Amorfino Gatchalian taught all the engineering math classes still held at the High School Building. The extension of the K-Building was still under construction at that time.

Two years later, Engr. Jaime Cendana was hired as Officer-in-charge of the Engineering Department. Engineers Efren Remigio and Charito Julian joined them later. Engr. Diosdado N. Corpuz replaced Engr. Cendana when the latter resigned in _____.

The first batch of Civil Engineering was graduated in 1991 and the milestone was doubly special because Edwin Orines a member of the batch placed 15th in the CE Board Exams, a feat only to be duplicated six years later by Rodel Cabuyadao who landed 12th in the same exams. This was the same year the Program was granted Government Recognition.

More important than the individual honors however, was the recognition as the third best Civil Engineering School nationwide in 1992 by virtue of the excellent performance of its graduates in the board exams. The same honor was garnered when 10 out of 11 graduates passed the exams in 1998.

The year 1994 was another milestone when the ladderized BS in Architecture program was first offered. The growth continued in 2002 when the BS in Electrical, Electronics and Communications and Computer Engineering Courses were opened.
