The CTM program intends to produce graduates who are better prepared for the demands of the
construction industry. The main objective of the CTM program is to prepare students for the effective
planning and implementation of construction projects by giving them basic knowledge of construction
materials and technology, and project management concepts. The subjects in project management
include topics in plans and specifications, cost engineering, and accounting, and organization. The
program also envisions that some graduates may immediately join their family construction business or
may ultimately put up their own firms. Subjects that deal with estimating, bidding, marketing, business
organization, economics, and strategy are tackled to prepare them for this prospect. The specialization
courses for the CTM program are:
The GTE program aims to produce civil engineers who are experts in the study of the behaviour of soils
and rock under the influence of loading forces and soil-water interactions. The students in this program
are trained to be knowledgeable in the design of foundation and earth- retaining structures, sub-surface
exploration and characterization of soils and other geo-materials, risk assessment associated to geo-
hazards such as landslides and earthquakes, and landfill disposal of wastes and groundwater
contamination. The specialization courses for the GTE program are:
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with specialization on Hydraulics and Water Resources
Engineering (HWR)
The HWR program was developed in response to the needs of the country in solving water resources
related problems such as water supply crisis, power shortage, insufficient food supply due to poor
irrigation, water pollution, and disasters due to lahar and flood flows. The HWR program covers a broad
field encompassing the following major sub-fields: analysis of water occurrences and flows, control of
water, utilization of water, water quality analysis, watershed management and planning, and
sedimentation in channels. The HWR program aims to produce competent Hydraulic and Water
Resources Engineers who can work as engineers/consultants in government agencies, in construction
and in private consulting firms. The specialization courses for the HWR program are:
The STE program aims to produce competent structural engineers who can provide technical support in
the infrastructure development of the country. In general, the STE program trains the students in the
planning, analysis, design, construction, inspection, rehabilitation, and preservation of structures which
includes residential and office buildings, bridges, and a large variety of structures using various materials
such as steel, concrete, and timber, taking into consideration technical, economic, environmental, and
social aspects. The specialization courses for the STE program are:
STEQUAK – Earthquake Engineering
The TRE program aims to produce Transportation and Highway Engineers who can provide technical
support in the government’s program of improving and expanding the transportation system and
infrastructures of the country such as the LRT, MRT, flyovers, skyways, airports, and harbors. The TRE
program also addresses issues related to transport planning, urban traffic engineering and management,
and the design and construction of road pavements. The specialization courses for the TRE program are:
