Abstract

This study assessed the implementation of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) at Cebu Technological University – Danao City Campus from the year 2004-2009 with the end view of formulating proposals for the improvement of the aforementioned curriculum based on the findings on the analysis done on the profile of the respondents and status of BSIE Program instruction using the questionnaire as the main tool in gathering data.
