The '''College of Engineering''' of the [[University of the Philippines]] is the largest degree-granting unit in the [[UP Diliman]] campus in terms of student population. The college is also known formally as '''UP COE''', '''COE''', and informally as '''Eng'g''' (pronounced "eng").

The College of [[Engineering]] is composed of nine departments, seven of which are housed in the historic [[Alejandro Melchor|Melchor]] Hall along [[Osmeña]] Avenue in the UP Diliman campus. The [[UP Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering|Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering]] has its own building along Velázquez Street in the Diliman Science Complex and Technology Incubation Park, while the [[UP Department of Computer Science|Department of Computer Science]] (along with the [[UP_College_of_Engineering#College_of_Engineering_Library|College Library]]) moved into their own building near the DEEE building in early 2007.

Since its establishment, the College has produced twenty graduates with UP [[Summa Cum Laude]] honors. The first COE Summa Cum Laude graduated in 1953, and the most recent was in 2008.

The Department of Computer Science administers the four-year Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Program and the Master of Science in Computer Science program. The department currently has 550 undergraduate and 100 graduate students.
The BSCS program is designed to equip the student with knowledge of the fundamental concepts and a reasonable mastery of the basic tools and techniques in computer science. The undergraduate program incorporates the core material, which is universally accepted as common to Computer Science undergraduate programs (computer programming, computer organization, computer systems, data structures and algorithms, file processing, and programming languages). Underpinning the software orientation of the program are the subjects on database systems, information systems design, software engineering, compilers, and special problems (primarily, software projects).
The Master of Science in Computer Science program is administered also by the CS Department. The program aims to provide the student with both breadth and depth of knowledge in the concepts and techniques related to the design, programming, and application of computing systems.

'''Department Profile'''. The Department of Engineering Sciences offers basic courses in statics and dynamics, strength of materials, fluid mechanics, technical drawing, mathematical methods in engineering, and computer programming.
Engineering sciences are founded on basic sciences which have been proven to be pertinent to engineering applications. These sciences provide the student with sufficient knowledge which he will find to be useful tools in the analysis and synthesis of engineering problems.
Recent advances in science have opened new areas of knowledge whose practical exploitation has only begun. The pace of technological change has greatly accelerated and this demands men with training deeply rooted in the sciences.

==National Centers of Excellence/Development==

As of 2001, the [[Commission on Higher Education (Philippines)|Commission on Higher Education]] of the Philippines has identified 32 centers of excellence/development (COEs/CODs) in [[University of the Philippines Diliman]], eleven of which can be found in the College of Engineering. (See all [[UP_Diliman#National_Centers_of_Excellence.2FDevelopment|UP Diliman Centers of Excellence/Development]]).

Ten of the eleven COEs/CODs are undergraduate programs in the College, while the eleventh (Information Technology Education) can be considered to be shared between the College's [[UP Department of Computer Science|Department of Computer Science]] and the UP Information Technology Training Center ([http://ittc.up.edu.ph| UP ITTC]). [[University of the Philippines Diliman]] has no program named "[[Information Technology]]", unlike other Philippine universities. The COEs/CODs in the College are as follows:

Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Geodetic Engineering, Information Technology Education, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Mining Engineering.

==National Engineering Center==

The '''[[National Engineering Center]]''' (NEC) is a related yet independent unit of the College of Engineering. The NEC is under the jurisdiction of the [[University of the Philippines System]] and provides research, consultancy, and continuing education services in the engineering and related fields. Whilst the UP COE is a unit purely dedicated to academic pursuit, the NEC serves industry and [[Philippine Government|government]] institutions in need of engineering solutions.

The NEC is housed within the [[Alfredo Juinio]] Hall (formerly the National Engineering Center Building), located beside UP COE's Melchor Hall along Osmeña Avenue. As of 2006, the College of Engineering [[Dean (education)|Dean]], Dr. Rowena Cristina Guevara, also serves as the center's Executive Director.

===Centers===

Five centers formerly within the College of Engineering are now in the jurisdiction of the NEC. However, some of these units still classify themselves as falling under the "COE-NEC" umbrella. This should not come as a surprise, as many NEC employees are also UP COE professors and instructors.

* Building Research Service
* National Center for [[Transportation]] Studies (NCTS), formerly the Transport Training Center
* National [[Hydraulic]] Research Center ([http://engg.upd.edu.ph/nhrc/ NHRC])
* Training Center for Applied [[Geodesy]] and [[Photogrammetry]] (TCAGP)
* UP Industrial Research Service Center

===Course Offerings===

* Professional Engineering Training Division
* Engineering Enhancement Program

==College of Engineering Libraries==

The [[Libraries]] of the College of Engineering is the repository of books, dissertations, databases, multimedia resources, journals, magazines, and student and faculty researches related to the engineering disciplines being offered by the College. The COE Library envisions itself as the [[Philippines]]' National Engineering Library and Information Center in the future.

As of 2006, the Library is located in Melchor Hall along Osmeña Avenue, and is divided into two floors. The relatively cramped space of the Library will be alleviated once part of it transfers to the new Engineering Library and Computer Science (ELCS) Building, where it is slated to occupy the entire lower two floor levels.

The COE Library is an integral part of the University Library's Online Public Access Catalogue ([http://www.mainlib.upd.edu.ph/webopac/ OPAC]). The Library is also part of the Philippine eLib (Electronic Library) Project.
