DABE Awards & Recognition

Engineering Research and Development for Technology (ERDT) Member

In April 2007, a consortium of eight engineering institutions in the country was created to implement the Engineering Research and Development for Technology (ERDT) Program. Led by the University of the Philippines in Diliman, the other members of the consortium are Central Luzon State University (CLSU), the Ateneo de Manila University, the De LaSalle University, the Mapua Institute of Technology, the University of San Carlos, the Mindanao State University, and the University of the Philippines at Los Banos (UPLB). The graduate program in agricultural engineering is being offered by CLSU and UPLB.

CHED Center of Excellence in Agricultural Engineering

On July 2008, representatives of the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) - Technical Panel for Agricultural Education visited the College of Engineering relative to the application of the department for the Center of Excellence of its BSAEn program. After their evaluation, the CHED officially recognized CLSU as Center of Excellence in Agricultural Engineering.

DABE Researches

Faculty Research Undertakings

All faculty in the ABE Department are highly qualified researchers considering the continuous support that the University gives them in terms of its manpower development. CLSU continuously develops its faculty by sending them to reputable universities here and abroad in order to attain their MS and PhD degrees. In so doing, they are honed by conducting the required researches while they are pursuing their degrees, including thesis and dissertation researches. In addition, CLSU also allows them to attend workshops, trainings, research paper presentations, conventions, etc. in order to update themselves of the current research undertakings in the field of Agricultural Engineering. Likewise, CLSU provides all available research facilities and equipment of the University that are needed in the conduct of any approved research proposals.

All ABE faculty have the capacity to make their own research proposals. These proposals include researches in the fields of Soil and Water, Farm Power and Machinery, Crop Process Engineering, Renewable Energy, and Environment.

All ABE faculty are allowed to be a member of a multidisciplinary research team that needs the expertise and services of Agricultural Engineers. In the same manner, they also allow the participation of researchers in other disciplines whose expertise and services are also needed in the preparation and conduct of researches that are headed by them.

DABE Extension Activities

Aside from conducting researches, the ABE faculty and students also conduct extension and training activities as a way of transferring the knowledge gained and technologies developed throughout the years.

DABE Training Activities

Training and seminars are enhancement activities that provide avenues for both faculty members and students to be updated and trained as skilled individual in their specific fields of study. Through the years, CEn has been proactively participating in local and international trainings and seminars, either as guest participants or resource speaker.
