About DES
The Department of Engineering Science (DES) is the multidisciplinary department of the College of Engineering and Agro-Industrial Technology (CEAT). It aims to provide world-class fundamental engineering courses, conduct interdisciplinary research and extension programs, and provide public service programs.
Brief History
DES was established on February 23, 1983 when CEAT was elevated into a full-fledged college from the former Institute of Agricultural Engineering Technology (INSAET). The Department was conceived primarily to handle basic and fundamental engineering courses and serve as a springboard from which additional degree programs or departments could emerge.
The BS Mate Program
And in the 1372nd meeting of the UP Board of Regents last July 2022, the proposal to institute the BS Materials Engineering program in UPLB was approved.
Mission
- To deliver high quality engineering science education by providing continuous teacher-student learning support systems, creating state-of-the-art teaching facilities, and rationalizing and upgrading the various curricular offerings according to the needs of the different degree programs in the college and the country;
- To conduct basic and applied researches in engineering and materials science in response to the current and anticipatory needs of the country; and
- To create a strong engineering information technology foundation for the college and for the industries through the expansion and upgrading of information technology resources.
