In Pursuit of Excellence
As stated by Engr. Cecille Venal, Depart-
ment Chair, Computer Engineering, “From
the time we received our Level I Status in 2002,
we compiled everything, we worked for this
until we received our Level iii.” Various prepa-
rations were made by the cpe Department to
conform with pacucoa standards. “We made
sure that we maintain a high quality of instruc-
tion by providing seminars and workshops to
the faculty members and staff to strengthen
their competency. As a result, there is a high
employability of the cpe graduates. We also
initiated computer literacy programs where our
department gives lectures about computers,
and we participated in Gawad Kalinga and Ipo
Dam projects as part of our visible community
outreach programs.”
