The College of Engineering, Architecture and Fine Arts is the premier college that offers the flagship programs of the university. It is a pioneer in the full implementation of outcomes-based teaching and learning and the integration of Technopreneurship in its curricula, with three centers of excellence and development and a number of graduates topping national licensure and certification examinations.
It prepares competitive educators in the global academic environment, guided by high moral standards and equipped with 21st century skills so they become agents of positive social transformation.

The College of Engineering, Architecture and Fine Arts (CEAFA) is situated at BatStateU Alangilan, Alangilan, Batangas City, and is catering to over 11, 000 students for its 26 undergraduate and graduate programs with ten (10) Masters degree, one (1) Ph.D. and fifteen (15) undergraduate programs. To meet the challenges of the 21st century, the college will be offering on AY 2020-2021 additional nine (9) undergraduate, eight (8) Masters, one (1) Straght BS-MS, one (1) Straight MS-PhD, and two (2) Ph.D. degree programs. It offers strong academic curricula and broad ranges of other educational opportunities for learners to do extremely well in their chosen profession.

CEAFA is well-known and respected for its competent and highly committed faculty members as well as in sustaining its performance in delivering quality engineering, architecture, and fine arts education not only to the province of Batangas, but to the whole country and other countries as well. The College has been at the frontier of quality assurance in higher education in the region with its pioneering implementation of outcomes-based education in all its academic programs. In fact, the College is the first SUC in the country to have its 8 programs accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), a well-known international accreditation body in the disciplines of applied and natural science, computing, engineering and engineering technology. Likewise, the same programs were also accredited by the Philippine Technological Council (PTC), a Washington Accord provisional member, and the designated accrediting body for engineering programs in the country. All programs of CEAFA were also accredited by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP), Inc.

CEAFA is also distinguished for its remarkable high performance in licensure examinations. The College has been consistently ranked as the top performing schools in Mechanical Engineering, with the other programs having higher percentage passing than the national percentage passing. As of the present time, the College is home to more than 162 Board Topnotchers in various license examinations.

The College is committed to combine technical knowledge and applications with wide-ranging skills and attitudes to develop innovators and innovations in higher education expected to aid the challenges of the new millennia. Devoted to the University’s vision and mission, CEAFA continuously strives for academic excellence to produce high-caliber professionals who will be active participants in nation building and responsive to the challenges of the 21st century.

Goals

It promotes excellence in the education of men and women who can assume leadership and meaningful participation in one's chosen field of engineering, architecture, fine arts or computing sciences.

Commitment
The College of Engineering is committed to:

  1. Provide curricular programs for the development of a well-trained engineering professionals very well conscious of environmental protection;
  2. advance the ideals of a national identity devoid of cultural biases, but enriched with moral integrity, spiritual vigor, and credible pursuit for professional excellence;
  3. develop professional graduates ready for entry as active participants and/or competent leaders in the industrialized world who are:
    • well-educated in the principles of a particular engineering discipline so chosen;
    • well-trained in the art and science of industrial applications such as design and production to sales, management and operations;
  4. promote an environment
    • for research and development so that students may advance the boundaries of knowledge in every professional facet of engineering;
    • for entrepreneurship whereby the products and services of a particular engineering field can be generated for business use and application.

 

The University adheres to the CHED CMO 37 series of 2012 on the implementation of Outcome Based Education (OBE) in Higher Education Institutions (HEI). The OBE Framework model being implemented by Batangas State University followed the top-down design and bottom-up implementation methodology. The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) were developed that supports the vision and mission of the university. This is supported by the Pillars of Development with acronym BASICS (Brand of Excellence, Access, Sustainability, Inclusive Innovation, and Capacity) to develop the Institutional Graduate Attributes (IGA) of the students. The IGAs support the attainment of the PEOs. The attainment of the IGAs is supported by the Student Outcomes (SO) that are monitored in a regular basis and are supported by the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO) from the curriculum courses. Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) activities, process, monitoring are conducted as indicated in the figure.
The PEOs are outcomes statements that describe the expected accomplishments of an engineering graduate three (3) to five (5) years after graduation. They are focused on three key roles of an engineering graduate (specialist, professionalism and leadership, and livelong learning).

PEO1: Specialist. Practiced as specialist in solving complex engineering problems leading to improvements and innovations, while taking into consideration the environmental, social, and economical requirements.

PEO2: Professionalism and Leadership. Assumed leadership position in industry, academe, government, or private sector with consideration to social and ethical responsibility.

PEO3: Lifelong Learning. Engaged in lifelong learning through further studies, research, certifications, promotions, and other personal and professional development activities.
The IGAs are the qualities, skills and knowledge that the BatStateU community agrees its students should develop during the duration of their studies in Batangas State University. These graduate attributes outline the key competencies that will be developed by students.

IGA1: Knowledge Competence. Demonstrate a mastery of the fundamental knowledge and skills required for functioning effectively as a professional in the discipline, and an ability to integrate and apply them effectively to practice in the workplace.

IGA2: Creativity and Innovation. Experiment with new approaches, challenge existing knowledge boundaries and design novel solutions to solve problems.

IGA3: Critical and Systems Thinking. Identify, define, and deal with complex problems pertinent to the future professional practice or daily life through logical, analytical and critical thinking.

IGA4: Communication. Communicate effectively (both orally and in writing) with a wide range of audiences, across a range of professional and personal contexts, in English and Pilipino.

IGA5: Lifelong Learning. Identify own learning needs for professional or personal development; demonstrate an eagerness to take up opportunities for learning new things as well as the ability to learn effectively on their own.
