Draft PSG For The Degree of Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering BSECE Effective AY 2018 2019 PDF
In accordance with the pertinent provisions of Republic Act (RA) No. 7722, otherwise known as
the “Higher Education Act of 1994,” in pursuance of policies, standards and guidelines
in the establishment of an outcomes-based education (OBE) system in higher education
institutions offering engineering programs as advocated under CMO 37 s. 2012 and
policy-standard to enhance quality assurance (QA) in Philippine higher education
through an outcomes-based and typology-based QA as advocated under CMO 46 s.
2012, and by virtue of Commission en banc Resolution No. ___________ dated
__________________ the following policies and standards (PS) are hereby adopted
and promulgated by the Commission.
ARTICLE I
INTRODUCTION
Section 1 Rationale
ARTICLE II
AUTHORITY TO OPERATE
ARTICLE III
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Sec. 3 The Articles that follow provides minimum standards and other requirements
and prescriptions. The minimum standards are expressed as a minimum set of
desired program outcomes which are given in Article IV Section 6. The
Technical Committee designed a curriculum to attain such outcomes. This
curriculum is shown in Article V Section 8 as a sample curriculum. The number
of units of this curriculum is here prescribed as the “minimum unit requirement”
under Section 13 of RA 7722.
Based on the curriculum and the means of its delivery, the Technical
Committee determined the physical resource requirements for the library,
laboratories and other facilities and the human resource requirements in terms
of administration and faculty. See Article VI.
Sec. 4 The HEIs are allowed to design curricula suited to their own contexts and
missions provided that they can demonstrate that the same leads to the
attainment of the required minimum set of outcomes, albeit by a different route.
In the same vein, they have latitude in terms of curriculum delivery and in terms
of specification and deployment of human and physical resources as long as
they can show that the attainment of the program outcomes and satisfaction of
program educational objectives can be assured by the alternative means they
propose.
The HEIs can use the CHED Implementation Handbook for Outcomes-
Based Education (OBE) and the Institutional Sustainability Assessment
(ISA) as a guide in making their submissions for Sections 16, 17 and 18 of
Article VII.
ARTICLE IV
PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS
5.1 Definition
Electronics is the science dealing with the development and application
ofdevices and systems involving the flow of electrons or other carriers of
electric charge, in a vacuum, in gaseous media, in plasma, in semiconductors,
in solid-stateand/or in similar devices, including, but not limited to, applications
involving optical,electromagnetic and other energy forms when transduced or
converted into electronicsignals. (RA 9292, 2004)
PEOs are broad statements that describe the career and professional
accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve within
3-5 years of graduation.
PEOs are based on the needs of the program's constituencies and these
shall be determined, articulated, and disseminated to the general public, via
HEI or department website and academic manuals, by the unit or
department of the HEI offering the BSECE program.
Example of a PEO:
The graduates of Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering will be
engaged in the practice of electronics engineering (RA9292) with a deep
sense of professionalism, environmental awareness, social and ethical
responsibility.
ARTICLE V
CURRICULUM
Below is the sample curriculum of the BSECE program. The institution may
enrich the sample/model program of study depending on the needs of the

*Specifications for these courses shall be developed by the HEIs in accordance with
their needs but shall likewise be submitted to CHED.
The sample Program of Study listed below is meant for HEIs operating on a
Semestral System. HEIs with CHED approved trimester or quarter term
systems may adjust their courses and course specifications accordingly to fit
their delivery system, as long as the minimum requirements are still satisfied.
The HEIs are also encouraged to include other courses to fulfill their
institutional outcomes, as long as the total units for the whole program shall
not exceed 192 units, including P.E., and NSTP.

Curriculum map is “a matrix relating all the courses listed in the program
curriculum with one or more of the declared student/program outcomes.”
The HEI/LUC/SUC should create a complete curriculum map for their current or
existing BSECEcurriculum. (See Annex II: Sample Curriculum Map)
All HEIs are expected to create their Curriculum Delivery Plan. The purpose of
the plan is to give clear guidance on the school's curriculum, and to give a
statement of expectations that will form the basis for reviewing quality and
effectiveness.
a) Course outcomes
b) Relationship of course outcomes to student/program outcomes
c) Course coverage comprising of the following:
1. course outcomes,
2. topics per course outcome,
3. teaching and learning activities per course outcome, and
4. assessment tasks per course outcome.
Course outcome refers to what learners are expected to know and be able to
do at end of the course.
Assessment task refers to a tool that determines how well the student has
met the course outcome.
