Degree Codes: Program- BSCPE Plan- BSCPE

 

Computer Engineering is the discipline that focuses on the design, installation, and maintenance of digital devices and appropriate software to effectively and efficiently meet the scientific, technological and administrative needs of business and industry in a global economy. It combines elements of electronics and communications engineering and computer science to understand the hardware/software interface common to computing and information systems. A computer engineer may perform tasks such as the design of a microprocessor or the development of an embedded system that may be used in applications that range from desktops to hand-held devices.

Program Description

Computer Engineering is a combination of elements of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, which deals with the design, and utilization of computers. The parent discipline of Computer Engineering is Electrical Engineering with which it shares considerable commonality. Computer Engineering seeks to match efficient digital devices with appropriate software to meet the scientific, technological and administrative needs of business and industry in a global economy. The program provides students with a background that prepares them for careers in embedded systems design, computer system operations, and systems support.

The Computer Engineering curriculum provides students with a foundation in basic science, mathematics and the humanities. Written and oral communication skills are emphasized and developed throughout the program, as is team project work (laboratory experiments, reports, and thesis) and an appreciation of the ethical and professional responsibilities of an engineer. The program also includes a one-trimester practicum in a locally or internationally recognized engineering or computing institution.

Fields of Specialization

Machine Learning & Intelligent Systems

Machine Learning
Machine learning is most commonly used to mean the application of induction algorithms, which is one step in the knowledge discovery process. It is the field of scientific study that concentrates on induction algorithms and on other algorithms that can be said to “learn.”

Intelligent Systems
It is a system that learns during its existence. In other words, it learns, for each situation, the response, which permits it to reach its objectives. It continually acts, mentally and externally, and by acting reaches its objectives more often than pure chance would indicate.

Embedded & Real-Time Systems & Computer Hardware Architecture

Embedded Systems
A specialized computer system that is part of a larger system or machine. Typically, an embedded system is housed on a single microprocessor board with the programs stored in ROM. Virtually all appliances that have a digital interface — watches, microwaves, VCRs, cars — utilize embedded systems. Some embedded systems include an operating system, but many are so specialized that the entire logic can be implemented as a single program.

Real-time systems
The term is used to describe a number of different computer features. For example, real-time operating systems are systems that respond to input immediately. They are used for such tasks as navigation, in which the computer must react to a steady flow of new information without interruption. Most general-purpose operating systems are not real-time because they can take a few seconds, or even minutes, to react.
Real time can also refer to events simulated by a computer at the same speed that they would occur in real life. In graphics animation, for example, a real-time program would display objects moving across the screen at the same speed that they would actually move.

Computer Architecture
The physical configuration, logical structure, formats, protocols, and operational sequences for processing data, controlling the configuration, and controlling the operations.

Multimedia Systems
This is the use of computers to present text, graphics, video, animation, and sound in an integrated way. Long touted as the future revolution in computing, multimedia applications were, until the mid-90s, uncommon due to the expensive hardware required. With increases in performance and decreases in price, however, multimedia is now commonplace. Nearly all PCs are capable of displaying video, though the resolution available depends on the power of the computer’s video adapter and CPU.

Program Description

Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest professions. The women and men in the mechanical engineering profession work in almost every industry, in private practice, in government, in medicine, in law, and in universities. Mechanical engineers touch almost every aspect of technology. They create machines, products and technological systems that benefit society. Their work can take them around the world – anywhere there are machines, there are mechanical engineers.

The Mechanical Engineering program in DLSU is among the most advanced and up-to-date ME programs in the country in line with the demands of the information age. It is fully complemented by a highly effective faculty, up-to-date teaching facilities – laboratory, computers and Internet, and library facilities, research orientation through the thesis program, and underscored by relevant industrial practice through the Industry-Academe Linkage. The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) bestowed the Center of Excellence award on this program for two straight years.

DLSU ME students undergo very extensive training in the use of Computer-Aided Drafting/Design, in particular the use of AutoCAD, SOLIDWORKS, and ANSYS. The ME curriculum is always updated to emphasize two main areas of concentration in the final year – Mechatronics and Energy & Sustainability.

• Mechatronics. Mechatronics is an integration of mechanical, electronics, computer, and controls engineering. The key mechatronic areas include sensors and instrumentation systems, drives and actuators, and computer-aided engineering design.
• Energy & Sustainability. The area of Energy and Sustainability integrates the knowledge acquired in the fields of thermal, fluid, and environmental sciences, power engineering, economics and management.

The job opportunities for mechanical engineers are outstanding. This means greater opportunities to do interesting work and the flexibility to do the work you like to do. Since machines and mechanical systems are almost everywhere, mechanical engineers can usually find employment where they want to live.

The training provided by the program prepares the students in various career options in industry, academia and government. The fields of practice include operations, maintenance, installation, testing, research and development, design, consulting, management, sales, marketing, and teaching.

Through activities hosted by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers-International and American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, the students are given opportunities for international exposure thereby preparing them for global practice of ME.

Considering the quality of its instructional program, research and community service, the ME Department is awarded the lone Center of Excellence in the Philippines by the Commission on Higher Education.

Background

The De La Salle University – Gokongwei College of Engineering has been offering engineering programs since 1948. One of the first engineering degrees granted was B.S. in mechanical engineering which was given government recognition in 1952. From introducing a specialization in computer applications to incorporating options or concentrations in energy and environmental technology, mechanical design, and mechatronics, the baccalaureate curriculum has undergone changes through the years to make it relevant and innovative.

Today, the Department of Mechanical Engineering is offering M.S. (government recognition in 1994) and Ph.D. (temporary permit in 1998) in mechanical engineering.

With Asia-Pacific Economic Council’s (APEC) agenda to liberalize professional services and the increasing market demand for professionals with postgraduate studies, the Mechanical Engineering Department proposes a B.S. Honors/M.S. Program in mechanical engineering to graduate globally competitive mechanical engineers. The proposed program would allow students to graduate in five year instead of six years and one term duration for a regular B.S. and M.S. programs.

Rationale

The Mechanical Engineering Department proposes the above B.S. Honors/M.S. program for the following reasons:

1. To attract more bright and promising high school students into the mechanical engineering program of De La Salle University.
2. To motivate students to strive for academic excellence.
3. To further improve the quality of mechanical engineering graduates.
4. To further enhance the competitive advantage of mechanical engineering graduates of De La Salle University in the job market.
5. To reduce the number of years of study in obtaining a B.S. and M.S. degrees.
