AGENDA ITEM BRIEF

Agenda Title Proposed offering of Bachelor of Science in Geodetic

Engineering at Calamagui State University effective __
Semester, SY 20__ - 20__

Background The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is advising incoming

college students to go for “priority courses” for them to get financial
assistance and to land in-demand jobs that could help spur
economic growth.

The agency updated its list of priority courses that were identified
based on national development plans, manpower demands until
2018 and a study of the Department of Labor and Employment that
determined the in-demand and hard-to-fill courses, skills and jobs
that match the projected employment requirements of key industries
until 2020.

According to the new list, the priority courses are those in the fields
of agriculture, engineering, science and math, information
technology, teacher education, health sciences, arts and
humanities, social and behavioral sciences, business
administration, architecture, maritime and communication.

The College of Engineering is equipped with facilities, staffed with

highly qualified faculty members and accredited with Level III status.

Particulars To offer Bachelor of Science in Geodetic Engineering in the College

of Engineering as contained in the proposals.

Requested For review and endorsement for Board’s Approval
