Mission Statement (VMG)
We, the academic community of Holy Angel University, declare ourselves to be a Catholic University. We dedicate
ourselves to our core purpose, which is to provide accessible quality education that transforms students into
persons of conscience, competence, and compassion. We commit ourselves to our vision of the University as a
role-model catalyst for countryside development and one of the most influential, best managed Catholic
universities in the Asia-Pacific region. We will be guided by our core values of Christ-centeredness, integrity,
excellence, community, and societal responsibility. All these we shall do for the greater glory of God. LAUS DEO
SEMPER!
College Vision, Goals and Objectives:
Vision
A center of excellence in engineering and architecture education imbued with Catholic mission and identity
serving as a role-model catalyst for countryside development
Mission
To provide accessible quality engineering and architecture education leading to the development of
conscientious, competent and compassionate professionals who continually contribute to the
advancement of technology, preserve the environment, and improve life for countryside development.
Goals
The College of Engineering and Architecture is known for its curricular programs and services, research
undertakings, and community involvement that are geared to produce competitive graduates:

who are equipped with high impact educational practices for global employability and
technopreneurial opportunities;
whose performance in national licensure examinations and certifications is consistently above
national passing rates and that falls within the 75th to 90th percentile ranks; and,
who qualify for international licensure examinations, certifications, and professional recognitions;

Objectives
In its pursuit for academic excellence and to become an authentic instrument for countryside development,
the College of Engineering and Architecture aims to achieve the following objectives:
1. To provide students with fundamental knowledge and skills in the technical and social disciplines so that
they may develop a sound perspective for competent engineering and architecture practice;
2. To inculcate in the students the values and discipline necessary in developing them into socially
responsible and globally competitive professionals;
3. To instill in the students a sense of social commitment through involvement in meaningful community
projects and services;
4. To promote the development of a sustainable environment and the improvement of the quality of life by
designing technology solutions beneficial to a dynamic world;
5. To adopt a faculty development program that is responsive to the continuing development and
engagement of faculty in research, technopreneurship, community service and professional development
activities both in the local and international context;
6. To implement a facility development program that promotes a continuing acquisition of state of the art
facilities that are at par with leading engineering and architecture schools in the Asia Pacific region; and,
7. To sustain a strong partnership and linkage with institutions, industries, and professional organizations in
both national and international levels.
