Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (Since 1961)

Overview
Curriculum

Civil Engineering is a profession that applies the basic principles of Science in conjunction with mathematical and computational tools to solve problems associated with developing and sustaining civilized life on our planet. Civil Engineering works are generally one-of-a-kind projects; they are often grand in scale, and they usually require cooperation among professionals of many different disciplines. The completion of a civil engineering project involves the solution of technical problems in which information from numerous sources and myriad non-technical factors play a significant role. Some of the most common examples of civil engineering works include bridges, buildings, dams, airports, ports and harbors, highways, tunnels, towers, and water distribution systems. Civil Engineers are concerned with flood controls, landslides, air and water pollution, and the design of facilities to withstand earthquakes and other natural hazards.

Civil Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines both in terms of the range of problems that fall within its preview and in the range of knowledge required to solve those problems.

Within five years after graduation, the graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program (BSEE) program of the University of Negros Occidental – Recoletos (UNO-R) honed to be S.I.M.P.L.E., will be any or a combination of the following:
