OVERVIEW
Formerly a department under the College of Agriculture, Engineering and Forestry, Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering was first offered in 1977 as approved by the MSAC Board of Trustees , under the Resolution No. 19, s.1977. In 1985, the College of Engineering and Applied Technology (CEAT) was established in response to the growing demand for competent professional Agricultural Engineers to cater to the needs of agriculture and industry in the region in particular, and the country, in general. It has now three departments: Department of Agricultural Engineering, Department of Engineering Sciences, and Department of Applied Technology.
The College had undergone the AACUP Preliminary Survey in December 1996, and on January 7, 1997 the certificate for level I status was awarded. The certificate for level II status was awarded to the college on February 29, 2000, and the Certificate for Level III Re-accredited Status, on January 1, 2015.
