Specializations
The Power Engineering specialization of the BSEE Program of the Department has been responsible for training and educating graduates in electric power engineering courses. The number of students attached to this specialization has been consistent with employment opportunities in the CALABARZON area as well as in the National Capital Region.
To respond to the skills expected from engineers, the students, in addition to their basic knowledge in electrical engineering are armed with strong analytical skills and knowledge in:
- Power Systems Analysis: The graduates are armed with the theoretical and practical knowledge to model transmission lines, power flow studies, and network calculations. The students learn economic dispatch, fault analysis, transient stability anfd time-domain analysis using MATLAB and Simulink exercises.
- Power Distribution Engineering: The course covers broad topics in transmission and distribution engineering and planning. Students are able to design electrical distribution systems of industrial, commercial, and residential areas.
- Power System Protection: The course provides the necessary knowledge in the electric power system protection and also introduces the protective relaying.
This specialization aims to train and provide students with a comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in the fields of electronics and communications. Students enrolled in this specialization will have knowledge in the following:
- Electronic Circuits: This covers design and simulation of circuits and devices for specific applications either using discrete devices or integrated circuits using industry standard devices.
- Intrumentation and Industrial Electronics: The courses provide students with the basic knowledge in instrumentation and instrumentation systems covering applications in electrical, electronic, biomedical, process, and oil-gas instrumentation and the necessary skills needed by the industry in the design and implementation of industrial systems and control. Students learn the principles behind power control, mechatronics-robotics, and programmable logic controllers.
- Communications Systems: This field encompasses both analog and digital communication systems. Students learn the fundamentals of communications from telephony to satellite communication both in the wired (copper and fiber optics) and wireless/mobile technology. These include analog and digital transmission, antenna and wave propagation, satellite communications, digital signal processing as applied to communications, internet, and computer communications, etc.
Computer Engineers are responsible in realizing tomorrow’s technologies from innovations in computer hardware and software to new designs for stand-alone and ontegrated systems. The curriculum is designed to meet the demad for engineers with strong design skills in hardware and integrated systems implementations.
Every Computer Engineering graduate have a well establshed background in the following courses:
- Digital Systems: In this field, students learn to design digital systems for specific applications like telecommunication systems, microporcessor and computer-based systems, instrumentation and telemetry systems, biomedical systems, etc., by using engineeering and scientific methids and state-of-the-art digital technologies. Some of the courses in this field are Digital Electronics, Advanced Logic Design, and Microprocessor-based Systems Design and Digital Signal Processing.
- Robotics: In this field, students will study the applications of artificial intelligence such as automation anf control of electrical systems.
- Hardware and Software Design: In this field, students will develop electrical devices using digital circuits. They will also learn to create computer programs that can drive electrical circuits.

Waiver of Prerequisite Rules
University Rules
Courses approved by the University Council as prerequisites to other courses shall not be waived except in highly meritorious cases:
1. To a student who has previously enrolled and fully attended a course/courses that is/are a prerequisite/s to another. The student who is granted permission under these rules is required to enroll in the prerequisite course(s) simultaneously with the course to which the former is a prerequisite (if both courses are offered in the same semester and not in conflict), or immediately in the next semester.
2. To a student who is graduating within one year from the time of application, and when it is most likely that the student will pass the higher course based on his academic record.

College Rules [approved by the CEAT faculty in its meeting on 08 April 2010]
It is the College policy to disapprove the application of waiver of prerequisite(s) under the following conditions:
1. For any course in which a student failed the prerequisite where a waiver was previously granted and the prerequisite has not yet been passed (Waiver on a waiver is not allowed)
2. For courses with two or more prerequisites,
2.1.1 If a student failed in at least two prerequisites
2.1.2 If a student failed in prerequisite A and passed prerequisite B in which a waiver was previously granted and the prerequisite D to this course (B) has not yet passed.
