Department of Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering

VISION
To become the CENTRE of EXCELLENCE in Aviation Education.
MISSION
(a) To provide quality Aviation Education
(b) To assist its graduates in the labor market.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

MISSION
(a)
(b)

1. To comply with CMO No. 28- as stated, To prepare the students for professional
aeronautical engineering career to assume leading roles in the technological and
socio-economic development of both local and foreign Aviation Industry,
particularly in the areas of aircraft research, development, manufacturing,
maintenance, operation, and aviation education. Aside from their professionals
knowledge and skills, the graduates must also possess strong foundation in the
physical and basic engineering sciences as well as in human relations to enable them
to meet the challenges being brought about by the rapid technological progress in
Aeronautics.
2. To prepare the students for technological service and leadership.
3. To make them adaptable to a variety of challenges in the aviation industry more
specifically in planning, designing, structure analysis, construction and repair,
supervision and operations of systems and advanced facilities.
