Goals

• Courses Offered

  BS in Civil Engineering
  Civil Engineering involves the planning, design, development, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings, facilities, roads and other infrastructures.
  
  BS in Computer Engineering
  The course provides strong and firm foundation to basic physical and engineering sciences leading to the social, economic and financial significance of computer engineering. The program concerns all aspects of computer system including the design, construction, implementation and operation of hardware and software for personal and business computers. The program also guides the Computer Engineering student to be environmentally conscientious, knowledgeable on human, financial and physical resource management, and prepares them for graduate work and research in one of the areas of the Computer Engineering fields.
  
  BS in Electrical Engineering
  Electrical Engineering involves the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. It is also needed in planning, designing and maintenance of the electrical systems of residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
  
  BS in Electronics and Communications Engineering
  Electronics and Communications Engineering involves the systematic approach to the design, implementation, management, control and maintenance of various devices and systems of semiconductors, instrumentation and control, telecommunications, and information technology, relying on knowledge and skills from the mathematical, physical and social sciences. This field abounds with a wide array of possibilities and opportunities.
  
  BS in Industrial Engineering
  Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, installation, management, improvement, control and maintenance of production/manufacturing systems to ensure the creation of quality goods and services. IE is a combination of three disciplines: psychology, management and engineering.
  
  BS in Mechanical Engineering
  Mechanical Engineering deals with the generation, transmission, and utilization of heat and mechanical power and the production of tools, machines and their products. It prepares the student to keep pace with the demanding world and industry.

The Architecture program being offered by the UPHSD-Department of Architecture is a five-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Architecture major in Design and with specialization on Sustainable Architecture.

The Architecture program of the department is divided into two levels namely, Pre-Architecture and Architecture Proper. The Pre-architecture comprises the first 2 years of the program and is composed mainly of studio subjects in basic drawing and design, general education, theology, and the mandated physical education and National Service Training Program (NSTP) subjects. The Architecture Proper includes the years 3 through 5 of the Architecture program, which is composed of professional and studio subjects in Architecture and design, specialization, computer subjects, humanities, natural and social sciences, and general education subjects.

Students accepted in the Pre-architecture level are guaranteed admission to year 3 of the Architecture Program, provided they maintain an Overall General Weighted Average (GWA) of 82% during their first two years and pass the department’s Qualifying Examination given at the end of the second year term. Students who receive an overall GWA below the required 82% and/or fail in the department’s Qualifying Examination may still be allowed to enroll on “Academic Probation” in the Architecture Proper but only in subjects authorized by the Department Head of Architecture.

Admission for Pre-Architecture Program

The admission process for the pre-architecture level is governed by the provisions stipulated in the Article 2-3 of the UPHSD Student Handbook. Just kindly refer to the said provision for details.

Admission for Architecture Proper Program

Requirements to be completed for acceptance into the Architecture Proper Program (years 3 through 5) includes:
1. Completion of design studio subjects AR 111, 121, 211, and 221;
2. Completion of basic drawing studio subjects AR 112, 122, 113, 123, and 213;
3. Completion of basic architecture/art subjects AR 214, 224, and 225;
4. Completion of basic building construction subjects AE 212, and 222;
5. Completion of mathematics subjects Math 113, 133, 123, 142, and 214;
6. Completion of required General Education subjects: English and Filipino;
7. Completion of Physics 214 and 224;
8. Completion of AE 223;
9. Completion of FCL 112, 122, 212, 222 and mandated Physical Education and NSTP subjects;
10. A minimum General Weighted Average of 82% in all subjects excluding FCL, P.E., and NSTP;
11. A “passing” result in the Qualifying Examination

It is recommended that students should complete all the requirements stated above before applying for admission into the Architecture Proper program. In the case where a student incurred a deficiency in any of the items from 1 to 8, Architecture Proper subjects wherein said deficiency is a pre-requisite, cannot be taken. In the case where a student fails to meet items 10 and/or 11, the student may still be allowed to enroll on “academic probation” in subjects authorized by the Head of the Architecture Department.
