Historical Significance of 27 BC

Marked the beginning of the Roman Empire and a period of extensive construction and public works.
Establishment of Augustus as the first Roman Emperor led to significant advancements in engineering and urban planning.

Ancient Structures and Civil Engineering

The Great Pyramid of Giza is often associated as an example of early civil engineering practices, illustrating advanced techniques in construction.

Appian Way

Known as the "queen of the roads," the Appian Way was vital for military and trade routes.
It facilitated movement of troops, goods, and information across the Roman Empire.

Roman Concrete

Roman Concrete was made using volcanic ash (pozzolana), lime, and seawater, resulting in a durable building material.
This innovation greatly contributed to the longevity of Roman structures.

First Female Dean of College of Engineering and Architecture

Dr. Rina C. Ferrer was designated as the First Female Dean on November 18, 1998.

Key Engineering Program Achievements

Notable advancements in engineering programs included enhanced curriculum and increased enrollment during this time.

Initiative for Renaming College

An initiative by university leadership led to renaming the College to the College of Engineering for clearer identity and focus on engineering disciplines.

JICA Follow-Up Project

The follow-up project for equipment assistance from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) was secured by the institution's administration in 2007.

Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 22's Disagreement

The court's disagreement with the petitioners primarily revolved around concerns of jurisdiction and procedural issues related to the presented petitions.

Focus of Construction Engineering and Management

Specializes in the application of engineering principles and management techniques to construction projects.

Construction Management

Encompasses the planning, coordination, and control of a project from inception to completion, optimizing resources and efficiency.

QA/QC in Construction Engineering and Management

Quality Assessment (QA) focuses on the processes and standards in construction, while Quality Control (QC) ensures the final outputs meet those established criteria.

Test your knowledge of societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues relevant to professional engineering practice. Evaluate your understanding of applying appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering tools to complex problems, including prediction and modeling. Assess your knowledge of the limitations and responsibilities associated with engineering practice.
