Vision

The Electrical Engineering major at Central Mindanao University will become nationally
recognized for the graduating students that have experienced putting theory into
practice and are also capable of succeeding in advanced studies.

Mission

The mission of the Electrical Engineering major is to provide students with a supportive
environment that facilitates learning to solve problems in electrical engineering.

The Electrical Engineering major is committed to excellence in student learning.

Graduates will be problems solvers, able to apply engineering principles to electrical
and computer systems. The faculty and staff of the major use their background in
teaching, research, and industry to prepare students to be successful as they move into
the workforce or graduate school.

Goals and Objectives

• To consistently produce technically competent electrical engineers needed by

the agricultural, industrial, and manufacturing sectors.

• To consistently provide dynamic, relevant and comprehensive instructions for

both degree and non-degree programs in electrical engineering.

• To actively conduct research and extension activities to advance and

disseminate electrical engineering technologies in Mindanao particularly in areas of
instrumentation and control power generation, communication and information systems.
