DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING
The Department of Civil Engineering was created on 2009 together with the creation of its mother college which is the College of Engineering. It started its services in offering of the BS in Civil Engineering Program on the year 2010 with a faculty membership of only 3 faculties to handle the pioneer batch of 15 students.
In the following years after the creation of the program, the number of faculty members have also increased in response to the increasing number of enrolling students. These faculty members were carefully chosen from applicants from the Civil Engineering Field and Allied Professions who have shown not only professional and academic achievements but as well as their passion to educate the next generation. From a mere number of three faculty members, the current Department of Civil Engineers is supported by 11 regular faculty members who are more than eager to share their knowledge and expertise to the younger generation, as well as 3 staff members who are more than willing to held the department in its operations.
In line with VSU's pursuit of excellence, the Department of Civil Engineering has underwent monitoring and accreditations from the government mandated agencies. Of which the Department is proud to hold achievements for AACCUP - Level II Accreditation, as well as the Accreditation Status by the ACBET and PTC. Furthermore, as part of the university, the Department is also compliant to the ISO 9001:2015 Accreditation.

DCE LOGO
The DCE logo was brought about by need to represent the Five Major Fields of Specialization of Civil Engineering, namely:
Construction Engineering and Management as represented by the “White Hard Hat”,
Structural Engineering as represented by the “Buildings”,
Water Resources and Environmental Engineering as represented by the “Leaf and Droplet”,
Transportation Engineering as represented by the “Highway”, and finally
Geotechnical Engineering as represented by the “Soil and Piles”.
Golden Piles
Much like infrastructures that requires firm foundations, the Department firmly anchors its services to its five (5) Quality Objectives which are represented by the five (5) Golden Piles.
Highway Lines
In the pursuit to produce competent graduates, the Department is guided by the five (5) Program Educational Objectives for the BS in Civil Engineering Program which is represented by the five (5) Arrow Shaped Highway Lines.
Hard Hat
As a professional, it is the social duty of the Civil Engineers to serve as the Engineers of the People thus the Department inculcates the value of service to our students and represent it through the White Hard Hat that encompasses the entirety of the logo.
