The Engineering programs offered then were Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. In its founding year in 1979, the operations started with Engr. Ernesto B. San Juan as the Dean of the College of Engineering. He worked as part-time Dean, and was assisted by one full-time faculty (Engr. Luis Occeña) and one student assistant (now already a Jesuit priest). The College was temporarily housed at the second floor of the Science Center Building from June 1979 to May 1982. Five (5) years after its founding there were only 51 (out of the initial 374 students) who graduated from the College in 1984. Out of the 51 students, 43 graduated in March and 8 graduated in May of 1984. Eight (8) students graduated from Chemical Engineering, 30 from Civil, 6 from Electrical and 7 from Mechanical Engineering. The College has grown steadily through the years. In 1993, the College has grown to offer two (2) additional programs, namely, Electronics and Communications Engineering (now called Electronics Engineering) and Industrial Engineering. In 1995, the College began offering Master of Engineering Program (MEP). XU COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING BULLETIN OF INFORMATION (2015 EDITION) 5 The Engineering Building During the presidency of Rev. Fr. Ernesto O. Javier, SJ., the 5-storey Engineering Building was erected in the northern portion of the campus parade grounds near Mortola and Victoria Sts. (now Arch James T.G. Hayes St.) on a 500-square meter lot. The groundbreaking and blessing ceremonies for the construction of the P7.065 Million engineering building was held on August 3, 1981. It was officiated by the then Father Superior General Pedro Arrupe of the Society of Jesus. The Clemente C. Puno Construction Company undertook the construction of the building and Arch. Conrado E. Puno supervised it. Engr. Felicisimo F. Acebedo was the structural engineer and Engr. Ildefonso A. Marbella as the project engineer. The inauguration of the building took place in July 31, 1982 with no less than the United Sates Ambassador to the Philippines, Michael Armacost, as the guest of honor. From its temporary office at the Science Center Building, the College was moved to its new home in June 1982. At this time, the first batch of engineering students were already on their third year. Linkages Through the years, the College had established LINKAGES with academic institutions locally and abroad, and with certain industries. In 1989, a TRIPARTITE AGREEMENT on a FACULTY EXCHANGE PROGRAM was established in the College. The signatories were XAVIER UNIVERSITY, PORTSMOUTH POLYTECHNIC (now UNIVERSITY OF PORTSMOUTH), and HONG KONG POLYTECHNIC. THE BRITISH COUNCIL funded this program. Under this program, two faculty members from the college were sent to the UK each year for a period of five years since the agreement was established. Simultaneous with the establishment of the College’s name as a producer of competitive engineers was the goal to strengthen the capability of the faculty. An Academe - Industry Linkage Program was established in cooperation with the Philippine Council for Industry and Energy Research and Development (PCIERD) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). Xavier University College of Engineering represented by its president, Fr. Bienvenido F. Nebres, Jr. and the following companies signed the memorandum of agreement on February 29, 1992:  RI Chemical Corporation  Pilipinas Kao, Incorporated  Philippine Sinter Corporation  Del Monte Philippines, Incorporated  Mabuhay Vinyl Corporation  Cagayan Electric Power & Light Company, Incorporated  Nestle’ Philippines, Incorporated XU COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING BULLETIN OF INFORMATION (2015 EDITION) 6  Procter & Gamble Philippines, Incorporated  Iligan Cement Corporation Professorial Chairs For Engineering faculty was established through the generous support of the following companies:  Del Monte Philippines, Incorporated  Philippine Sinter Corporation  Cagayan Electric Power & Light Company, Incorporated  Oroville Resources & Ventures, Incorporated In August 2003 the Xavier University College of Engineering and Technology entered into an agreement with SMART Communications, Inc., under the Smart Wireless Engineering Education Program (SWEEP), which expands the College’s laboratory facilities in wireless technology. The College’s partners have grown to include the BPI Foundation, Inc., which has, among its roster of BPI Science Awardees, students of the Xavier University College of Engineering since 1990. It is also in partnership with Globe Telecommunications which has been giving due recognition to the college for its “sustained dedication in molding the future of the youth” since 1996. The College was in partnership with the University of Portsmouth (United Kingdom), De La Salle University (Philippines), Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), and the University Teknologi Malaysia (Malaysia) under the Asia- Link Programme, for a project on “Open Learning Provision for Postgraduate Training in Sustainable Technology” from 2007-2010. In 2009, the Memorandum of Agreement between XU College of Engineering and most of the bigger industrial corporations in the region was renewed. A Memorandum of Understanding was also signed between the Department of Science and Technology (DOST X) for the formalization of the engagement of College of Engineering faculty members as part of the Cleaner Production Assessment Team of the region. It aims to provide training, consultancy, and other technical services to small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with Region 10 to assist them in developing eco-friendly management systems and implementing cleaner production options. In April 2013, the MOU for Collaborative Service Learning Program (CSLP) of College of Engineering and College of Computer Studies was forged. This program is an engagement of XU in partnership with the City of Cagayan de Oro (CDO) where competent engineers and computer scientists/technologists/researchers assist CDO in undertaking the necessary survey activities at CDO’s various relocation site projects and web-based traffic information system/response, routes and urban road network through the CSLP being facilitated by KKP-SIO. XU coordinated with concerned offices of CDO, the Shelter and Housing Multi-Sectoral Task Force, City Engineer’s Office, Estate Management Division, Regional Transportation Authority and HAPSAY DALAN Task Force. XU COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING BULLETIN OF INFORMATION (2015 EDITION) 7 Accreditation and Evaluation Status PAASCU In January 1997, when the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Education and Commerce that had Level III accreditations with PAASCU had their re-survey formal accreditation, and the College of Agriculture had a formal survey visit, the College of Engineering also had its preliminary survey visit at the same time. The results of the PAASCU accreditation visits to the University in late January 1997 made the College of Engineering eligible for a formal survey visit after one year. In early February 1998, the College of Engineering received formal accreditation (Level II-Initial Accreditation) for three years for its four engineering programs, namely, ChE, CE, EE, and ME. In February 2001, the same four (4) programs received reaccreditation for a period of five years until 2006. This reaccreditation was renewed for another five years to expire in 2011. In 2008, the College was informed that it is eligible to apply for Level III accreditation. The IE and ECE programs also received formal accreditation in 2006. And on December 2009, the IE and ECE programs were awarded Level II re-accreditation status which will expire on December 2014. The CE, ChE, ME and EE programs were again awarded with Level II re-accreditation starting SY 2014-2015. FEED-PEP The College of Engineering had its evaluation visit on September 25-26, 1997 by the Foundation for Engineering Education Development, Incorporated. Through the Foundation’s Peer Evaluation Process (FEED-PEP), a system for quality assurance and continuous improvement of engineering schools, the overall quality of the BS Chemical, Electronics & Communications, and Mechanical Engineering programs were evaluated. An important feature of the PEP is the direct participation of experienced engineers and scientists from industry, academe, and professional organizations in the conduct of actual evaluation of engineering schools. CHED-COD Through the actual evaluation of Technical Panel for Engineering, Technology and Architecture (TPETA) on April 1998, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) named the College of Engineering as Center of Development (COD) in the following categories: XU COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING BULLETIN OF INFORMATION (2015 EDITION) 8  COD-1 (Center of Development – 1) for Electrical Engineering and  COD-2 for Chemical, Civil, and Mechanical Engineering programs. The COD-1 programs were entitled to PhP 1 Million grant per year for a period of 3 years. The COD-2 programs were entitled to PhP 0.5 Million grant per year for a period of 3 years. These engineering programs have been identified by the CHED based on the recommendations of TPETA then. In 2009, Centers of Development (COD) were awarded by CHED to the following four (4) programs of the College: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Electronics Engineering. COD status will expire on 2012. Looking Forward For its Vision for the Golden Anniversary of the College, it is hoped that it will have produced a world-class and competent technical human resource in the country through its alumni. It will have a stronger faculty community wherein majority have PhD degrees and are competent and committed to their respective fields of specialization. This faculty community, together with the staff, will continue to educate and form Atenean Engineers who have strong reverence to God through service for and with others in the College of Engineering which continues to live a tradition of excellence that serves the interest of Mindanao and the Filipino people. Finally, it will lead the technological and infrastructure development of the region thru a well-balanced engineering education that does academic excellence, community involvement and researches, and most importantly an engineering education that will be most beneficial to environment and human societies.
