In pursuit of continuous curriculum enhancement and industry alignment, the College of Engineering (COENG) conducted a Stakeholders’ Consultation on the Syllabus Development for the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) Program on October 22, 2025, via Zoom. The consultation aimed to strengthen the integration of industry-relevant competencies, practical learning, and outcome-based assessment in the BSEE curriculum.

 

The program formally opened with Engr. Maynard R. Dalemit, COENG Associate Dean, delivering the Welcome Remarks, underscoring the importance of collaborative curriculum development to ensure that engineering graduates are well-prepared for the challenges of the energy and power sector.

This was followed by a Message of Support from Dr. Felisa E. Gomba, Vice-President for Academic Affairs, who emphasized the university’s commitment to academic excellence through stakeholder engagement and quality assurance. Representing University President Dr. Redentor S. Palencia, Engr. Ma. Lourdes P. Amante, Vice-President for Administration and Finance, delivered an Inspirational Message, highlighting the vital role of partnerships between academia and industry in shaping globally competitive engineers.

Engr. Hebe C. Uy, COENG Quality Assurance Coordinator, presented the Rationale and Objectives of the consultation, emphasizing that the process aims to align course syllabi with both institutional outcomes and industry standards. Following this, Engr. Homer O. Gaganao, Chair of the Curriculum and Instructional Materials Review Committee, discussed the Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) Framework for the BSEE Program, providing participants with a structured understanding of how intended learning outcomes, teaching strategies, and assessments should interconnect.

 

The Program Chair and BSEE Faculty Members then presented the Syllabus Development Overview and Initial Drafts for each course. Afterward, participants were divided into breakout rooms per discipline to facilitate in-depth discussions. Stakeholders—including representatives from various industries, alumni, faculty members, students, representatives from CHED RO 8, Ms. Ma. Angie Suarez-del Real, University Librarian and the Quality Assurance Director, Mr. Jake Boy D. Carbonquillo—shared valuable insights and recommendations to enhance the course content, learning activities, and assessment design.

 

Dr. Nathalie Ann A. Acosta, Head of the Curriculum and Instruction Development Center (CIDC), provided the Synthesis of Stakeholders’ Recommendations, summarizing key points such as strengthening industry-academe collaboration, promoting project-based learning, modernizing laboratory facilities, updating references, and ensuring the alignment of Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) with assessment methods.

 

The event concluded with a Closing Message from Engr. Meddy S. Mangaring, Dean of the College of Engineering, who expressed gratitude to all participants for their active involvement and reaffirmed COENG’s commitment to continuously improve the quality and relevance of its engineering programs.

 

The consultation served as a significant step toward refining the BSEE curriculum to meet global standards and address the evolving demands of the engineering industry—ensuring that graduates remain competent, innovative, and responsive to the country’s energy and technological development needs.
