PSU Vision A premier State University in Southeast Asia that provides excellent and relevant
higher education for sustainable development.
PSU Mission The Palawan State University is committed to upgrade the quality of life of the people
by providing higher education opportunities through excellent instruction, research,
extension, production and transnational collaborations and innovations.
PSU Institutional Palawan State University is committed to produce graduates who are agents of
Learning Outcomes change, creative and critical thinker, effective communicators, research-oriented
learner and value-laden individual
CEAT Goal “To provide excellent instruction and engage in the technical research, innovation,
and development; to produce competent, well-disciplined, productive and morally
upright graduates who will contribute to the advancement of engineering and
architectural profession”
PSU BSEE Program The graduates of the program are expected to apply technical development
Objectives mainstream in power, electronic and computer engineering including equipment/
instrument design, specifically to:
 Possess a solid foundation in electrical engineering, sufficient to enable
careers and professional growth in related fields.
 Identify and solve engineering problems drawing on a strong foundation in
the basic sciences and mathematics
 Communicate effectively and contribute as members of multidisciplinary
teams.
 Appreciate a diversity of opinion, consideration of ethical issues, and of the
context of one’s profession.
 Conceive, design, implement and operate products, processes and systems
in enterprise and societal contexts.
BSEE Program Objectives  Provide the students with an education in the fundamentals of electrical
as per CMO 34 s. 2008 engineering that will allow them to be immediately competitive in industry or
graduate work while providing the best opportunity for achieving full potential
 Develop a sense of professional responsibility and social awareness
 Provide practical applications and hands-on work as evidenced by laboratory,
design, project study, computer exercises and practicum courses. These
would help the student to work well either independently or as part of a group.

Course Policies
Consultation Period
1. Every student should attend classes regularly and punctually. If a student gets
absent, he/she should present an excuse letter signed by the College Secretary,
the Department Chairperson or the College Dean.
2. Students who incur absences in more than 20% of the class hours (equivalent to
8 sessions) may be dropped from the rolls and given a grade of “UD” or “5.0”,
depending on his/her class standing.
3. Special tests/exams and/or exercises/activities may be given to a student who
gets absent with a valid reason provided that he/she presents an excuse letter
signed by the College Secretary, the Department Chairperson or the College
Dean.
4. Assignments/homework and other requirements should be submitted on time.
Late submission of assignments shall not be tolerated and will have
corresponding deductions.
5. Honesty should be practiced at all times. A student who is caught cheating shall
be given a grade of 5.0.
6. Pursuant to Section 16 of the IRR of RA 9710 also known as the “Magna Carta
