College of Engineering and Architecture
Overview
By the authority to operate under the Board of Trustees Resolution No. 91 series of 1999, the Polytechnic College of Antique (PSCA) opened enrolment in the programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Architecture for school year 2000-2001. The course was offered through the initiative of Engr. Magno Servano, Jr. with only 19 enrollees. The BSECE program then was under the College of Technology. It also opened the door for Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering which was then under the College of Computer Studies.
During the school year 2003-2004, by the virtue of resolution No. 250, Series of 2003, Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering was offered leading to the creation of the College of Engineering. The following year, with resolution No. 318, Series of 2004, Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering was added, that paved the way for the creation of the College of Engineering and Architecture with Ar. Ma. Bella C. Magdaug as its first Dean. Ar. Magdaug served until 2013 who was then followed by Engr. Mark Alester A. Lazo who was designated as the Dean of the College from 2013-2018. Engr. Cheryl P. Salvan lead the college from 2018-2020. Currently, Dr. Christine C. Vegafria is the Dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture.
In school year 2009-2010, under Resolution No. 05, series of 2009, Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering was added to its curricular offerings as it continuously pursues its vision and mission to produce competent engineers and architects in the service of the Antiqueños, the Filipino nation, and the global community.
In 2019, Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and University (AACCUP) recommended that the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering will be transferred from the College of Computer Studies to the College of Engineering and Architecture, thus BSCpE is now one of leading CEA Programs.
