Announces their new Ladderized Education Program:
Features of the Proposal:
Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Computer Technology (BSECT)
Option A: Communications System
Option B: Embedded System
1. The Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Computer Technology (BSECT) is a ladderized
curriculum of the three­year Diploma in Electronics Engineering Technology program. One
summer and two semesters are added to the three­year Electronics Engineering Technology
program making it a degree course in higher education as mandated in Executive Order 358.
2. The curriculum fully satisfies the MSU BOR requirements.
3. The curriculum satisfies the CHED requirements (CMO 53, S. 2006) for General Education for
those in the field of Information Technology Education.
4. The curriculum satisfies the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)
competency standard of technical workers on Electronics and Computer Technology for national
certification level 2, 3 and 4.
Rationale:
The current three­year Electronics Engineering Technology program aims to prepare the
students to be multi­skills technical specialists in the field of electronics, computer hardware and
software, electrical, and basic industrial controls and instrumentations. In this program students are
taught to become Computer and Electronic technologist. The students in Communication Electronics
option are capable to repair, calibrate and maintain communication electronics such as AM/FM radio
receivers and transmitter; TV receivers and transmitter; audio equipment; SSB , television equipment
and microwave equipment; computer and network system; consumer electronic appliances, and other
related electronic gadgets. On the other hand, the students in Computer Electronics options are capable
to perform computer application in manufacturing and processing; program low level language in
assembly language; install and configure computer and network system, computer diagnostic and
preventive maintenance, and interface using microprocessor, basic of computer programming and
firmware programming.
To further strengthen the technical education in this emerging field of specialization in the
Philippines, particularly in Mindanao area, the Department of Electronics Engineering Technology of
the School of Computer Studies of MSU­IIT proposes to ladder the 3­Year course Diploma in
Electronics Engineering Technology, Option A: Communication Electronics and Option B: Computer
Electronics program, towards Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Computer Technology (BSECT),
with Option A: Communications System and Option B: Embedded System, as stated in Executive
Order 358. This program is designed to meet the needs of technicians who wish to enhance or upgrade
their knowledge within the areas of their previous training or current profession. It provides for
undergraduate program a greater depth of understanding in the field of specialization beyond the
technician level. It allows more advance coverage in specialized topics, develops more analytical skills,
helps to advance expertise, and prepares graduate to perform more comprehensive and independentbound
work. The curricular program will also incorporate competency­based program on Electronics
and Computer Technology designed by TESDA, courses required in Information Technology Education
(ITE) program designed by Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as stated in CMO 53 s. 2006,
and the skills needed by the industries in the field of Electronics and Computer Technology, specifically
in Communications System and embedded system.
The BSECT ­ Option A: Communications System graduates are capable to design and build
