CENTER FOR RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT & PUBLICATION
Vision:
Full development of research potentials of faculty members and students, achieve academic excellence through quality research and become a leading technology and research center in Civil Engineering and Environmental and Sanitary Engineering in support of the School of CE-EnSE's academic programs.
Mission:
Train and equip engineering professionals and students in doing quality research, respond to the scientific, technological and economic concerns and opportunities, obtain funding from outside sources, and support the dynamic technological advancement.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
Guided by the Mission of the School of CE-EnSE, it commits itself: To cultivate research interest among its faculty members and students, through its clusters and evaluate CE-EnSE's academic programs in order for them to be relevant, responsive and supportive to the research goals not only of the institute but the technological development of the nations as well.
The School of Civil Engineering and Environmental & Sanitary Engineering will establish a track record of quality and relevant researches by adopting a 3-fold research culture, which includes the following:
| 1. |
Capability-building program for faculty members. |
| |
The teaching force should, in one way or another, be equipped with knowledge in doing research through formal training or scheduled seminars. The administration on the other hand, needs to support these research activities and plans. |
| |
|
| 2. |
Capability-building program for students. |
| |
Academic program will be reviewed in order for it to be responsive to the research agenda tailored for students. There will be more research-oriented activities to be launch to create research awareness among the students. Many, if not, all of their subject should require outputs where research becomes an apparent component. |
| |
|
| 3. |
Program to infuse research orientation when teaching a course. |
| |
Faculty members should device a scheme where simple research activities are implemented. This kind of activities involves special classroom teaching methodologies, which in the long run will usher the students towards doing. |
STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PRINCIPLES, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
All research activities of the school of CE-EnSE shall be guided by the following general research principles and policies.
GENERAL RESEARCH PRINCIPLES:

| |
|
| 2. |
The School of CE-EnSE shall base its role and goals of research within its vision and mission in particulars, as well as the over-all vision and mission of the institution in general, and the goals and objectives of developing research capabilities of its faculty members and the students. |
| |
|
| 3. |
The School of CE-EnSE shall support every faculty and student researches through proper recommendation, and commits to the full development of its researchers through the implementation of sound research policies, conductive academic environment, promotion and incentives. |
| |
|
| 4. |
The School of CE-EnSE believes in the individual capabilities of its faculty members and students to conduct worthwhile, relevant engineering researches. |
TEN-POINT PROGRAM OF ACTION
The following ten-point program is the School of CE-EnSE's program of action to improve its faculty members and students research capabilities:
| 1. |
The School of CE-EnSE adopts the accepted principles of the Commission on Higher Education, and adheres to the ten Year National Higher Education Research Agenda. |
| |
|
| 2. |
The School of CE-EnSE, with the MIT administration's approval, signifies full support to every faculty and student researches. |
| |
|
| 3. |
The CRTDP conducts research consultation and workshops the whole year round to make sure that all faculty and student researchers are being help by experts. |
| |
|
| 4. |
The School of CE-EnSE endorses and supports the program of granting incentives to encourage or motivate faculty members and students to do research. |
| |
|
| 5. |
The School of CE-EnSE supports the publication of research outputs in local or international journal. |
| |
|
| 6. |
The School of CE-EnSE nurtures the idea of coming up with its own research manual and research publication. |
| |
|
| 7. |
The School of CE-EnSE adopts the idea of collaborative research work with other Schools within MIT or with other institutions or organization through tie-ups outside MIT. |
| |
|
| 8. |
The CRTDP makes available the services of its own Research Assistants to help faculty and students researchers in their respective concerns. |
| |
|
| 9. |
The CRTDP adopts the idea of sourcing out financial support for CE-EnSE researches not only from MIT but also from other interested organization and agencies outside MIT. |
| |
|
| 10. |
