Brief History
In June 1992, the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering program was first introduced for third-year engineering students who had accomplished all of the General Engineering credit units and the pioneer batch of BS CpE graduated in 1995. During the introduction of the program, it was divided into two colleges. The general engineering was under the College of Arts and Sciences while the last three years were under the College of Engineering. And on year 2003-2004, general engineering was transferred to the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Fine Arts.
The BS CpE program was accredited by different accrediting agencies such as Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), Level IV Phase I by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACUP), and the Philippine Technological Council (PTC).
The Batangas State University’s Computer Engineering develops and enhances its teaching and research programs in order to give students with enthusiasm and high-quality education in computer engineering practice and theory.
