Sustaining Quality Performance In Civil Engineering In The Cagayan Valley Region

William Vega

Discipline: others in engineering

 

Abstract:

The study navigated along the five ISA areas of management in sustaining quality performance in civil engineering in the Cagayan Valley Region. The study utilized a quantitative research design to analyze the status of management in HEIs offering BSCE in Region 2 for the past five years. The respondents of the study were the CE passers from 2014 to 2019, CE instructors, CE program chairs/heads, and deans. Four CE schools participated in this study, along with 390 respondents composed of alumni, faculty, program chairs/heads, and deans. The study revealed that the civil engineering schools in the region have displayed a strong commitment to the five ISA areas of management in sustaining quality performance in civil engineering. The implications of the results of the study for CE education, particularly in sustaining quality performance, will be ascertained.
