Civil Engineering

The Civil Engineering program aims to respond to the ever increasing demand for high quality civil engineering graduates who can furnish the expertise in the provision of shelter to the Filipinos and develop the country's infrastructure. Serving both the private and the public sectors of the society, civil engineers engage in various services which include consultation, planning, design, preparation of plans, specifications and estimates, contracting, works engineering and construction project management.

Civil Engineering has grown into a diverse branch of engineering which involve various fields of specialization such as structural engineering, construction, highway engineering, hydraulics engineering, foundation engineering, and water resources engineering, among others. In response to this development, the Department of Civil Engineering at DLSU introduced innovations in the undergraduate curriculum by incorporating specialization in the field of Structural Engineering (STE), and Construction Technology and Management (CTM) starting in SY 1992-93. The areas of specialization have grown with the addition of Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering (HWR) in SY 1996-1997 and Transportation Engineering (TRE) starting in SY 1997-1998. In the succeeding years, specialization in Geotechnical Engineering (GTE) will be implemented.

The Department of Civil Engineering is consistently recognized by the Commission on Higher Education as a Center of Development.
