Program Requirements
Admission to the program is given to applicants who hold a Masters degree in engineering with a GPA of 2.00 or better from a graduate engineering program recognized by CHED. Each applicant is required to submit a more or less 300-word essay dealing with the applicants motivation for seeking admission to the program. All candidates for the Doctor of Engineering degree must complete the required program of study of at least 9 units-mathematics, 3 units-management, 3 units-economics, 3 units- environmental science, 18 units of discipline related courses and 12 units equivalent dissertation. All students must satisfy the following requirements before they are allowed to start enrolling for the 12 units equivalent dissertation: 1) Completion of the required 36 units of coursework with a GPA of 2.00 or better; 2) Passing the qualifying examination as prescribed by the Doctoral Advisory Committee (DAC); and 3) Satisfactory presentation/defense of the dissertation proposal before the DAC. Upon completion of the dissertation, the student must apply for the dissertation examination to the Dissertation Examination Panel (DEP). Students are recommended for the degree when the following requirements are satisfied: 1) All academic requirements have been fully satisfied. 2) Presentation of at least one technical paper related to the dissertation in a national or international conference and/or seminar during his/her studies. 3) The DEP has evaluated the doctoral dissertation as acceptable. 4) The suggestions/recommendations of the DEP have been fully addressed as evaluated by DAC.
