Objective:

– Core curriculum, major curriculum

Education is a partnership. Student, faculty, school. Education is not a one-way affair. Students play a big role in the quality of the education. V. important that you know what Ateneo is. Best school really depends on the student.

Why come to the Ateneo to study Science and Engineering?

“Lux in Domino.” Pursuit of knowledge and wisdom which is inspired by service to God’s work.

Magis (more): service and excellence

One of the oldest Jesuit institutions of higher learning in Asia.

The core curriculum is the primary instrument of formation, through
which the Ateneo spirit of excellence and service are articulated and
passed on to students.

All S&E students take courses in history, social science,
literature, philosophy and theology, in addition to their major
courses.

Importance: Basic education ~ 10-11 years. Among the shortest in the
world. Students enter at 15 or 16, 17 is old. Very young students. The
core curriculum helps form students through the formative teenage
years. Even in that sense, very important role.

Science not just for its sake.

Major curriculum trains students in the fundamentals of the field, the
state-of-the-art, as well as its applied areas. Interdisciplinary
dialogue is encouraged among the science and engineering disciplines,
as well as with the humanities, social sciences and management.

All of our students get accepted into the schools of their choice, if
they choose graduate school. No problem with the science part of our
curriculum. If you look through the catalog, many of our degree
programs are interdisciplinary. MIS is between CS and Management.
Computational sciences. BS Management of Applied Chemistry. Skills
not just found in one discipline.
