Objectives of the BSECE Program

In close adherence to the CE Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives the ECE Department is committed
to attain these objectives:
1. Strengthen the BSECE program consistent with global trends;
2. Develop faculty as competent mentors and quality researchers through advanced studies and other facets
of continuing professional education;
3. Develop the critical thinking and communications skills of students giving emphasis to research and
extension services;
4. Equip graduates with appropriate knowledge and technical skills imbued with desirable work attitudes and
moral values through enhanced teaching/learning process by using multimedia facilities on top of
traditional methods;
5. Create a conducive teaching and learning atmosphere with emphasis to faculty and students growth and
academic freedom;
6. Establish network with educational institutions, industries, GOs and NGOs, local and international, which
could serve as:
a. Funding sources and/or partners of researches,
b. Sources of new technology,
c. Centers for faculty and students exchange programs and on-the-job training, and
d. Grantees of scholarships/additional facilities; and

7. Continuously conduct action researches on the needs of laboratory and other facilities that could be locally
produced or innovated using local materials and technology.
