Some
Pioneer computer school
The University
opened its portal
to the information
highway when it
established the
Computer Center in
1971, the first in the
local academic sector to do so. In 1980,
the Center expanded and became the
Planning, Information, and Computer
Science Center (PICSC). In 1981, the
PICSC monitored the Computer Science
Department which offered the first
undergraduate degree in Computer
Science. Four years later, the Computer
Science Department was formally
declared as the College of Computer
Studies.
BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
With the aim of developing a
multidisciplinary, collaborative learning
environment, DLSU set up in 2003 the
groundbreaking Biomedical Engineering
program, offered as a specialization
under the BS in Manufacturing
Engineering and Management course.
A young discipline in the local academic
scene, Biomedical Engineering aims
to develop professionals concerned
with the application of appropriate
technology for the efficient delivery
of healthcare services and for the
advancement of methods used for
diagnosis, therapy, and
rehabilitation.
Smart classroom
DLSU s smart classroom is the first ever in
the Philippine academe. In 2000, it already
had video conferencing capabilities and
state-of-the-art equipment for desktop
presentations, with audio-visual players,
overhead projectors, two-way video
camera, and 42 computer units hooked to
the Internet.
Transformative learning
To improve the way
teachers teach and students
learn, DLSU institutionalized
in 2004 the Transformative
Learning Framework, a
pioneering initiative that
promotes student-centered learning. The
transformative paradigm seeks to engage
students in deeper modes of learning and
inquiry, and to enable them to develop their
analytic, critical, and creative thinking skills.
Internet-connected
The first school to be
connected to the Internet,
DLSU was recognized in
1996 by PC Computing
Magazine as among the
worlds universities with
the best websites. It was cited together with
University of Waterloo (Canada), Harvard
University (USA), University of West Indies,
University of Tokyo (Japan), University
of Limerick (Ireland), University of Cape
Town (South Africa), University of Sydney
(Australia), University of Hamburg (Germany),
University of Zagred (Croatia), and Helsinki
University of Technology (Finland).
Computer science
The College of Computer Studies (CCS)
garnered Level 3 accreditation for its BS
Computer Science program in 2005. It was
at that time the highest
program accreditation
status ever received
by a higher education
institution from the
Philippine Accrediting
Association of Schools,
Colleges, and Universities.
Likewise, the CCS Computer Technology
Department became the first Cisco Academy
Training Center in the Philippines, which
meant that the Department would be tasked
to implement quality assurance initiatives in
more than 140 regional and local academies.

Driven by a team of La Salle students, it
raced across the Australian sub-continent
to a stellar finish at the 20th World Solar

research, DLSU also developed two more
solar cars, one of which toured across
the country in 2010 and
another raced in the

Henry Sy, Sr.
Hall
Built on the concept of a habitable tree, the DLSU Henry Sy, Sr. Hall
commemorates the Universitys centenary and illustrates its growing role in
Philippine education as well as its commitment to environmental responsibility.

Designed by the renowned architectural firm Leandro V. Locsin Partners,

Architects, the Henry Sy, Sr. Hall boasts of a green roof, solar panels, a
rainwater collection system, and a water re-use system. It has pocket gardens
and open areas that support creativity and engage learners to generate new ideas.

The Hall has 14 floors of eco-friendly learning spaces and function areas where
the academic community can gather for relaxation, interaction with one another, and
official university activities. Interior areas of the building are named after various
parts of a life-giving and nurturing tree.

It will also be the first academic structure to be rated upon completion

with the Philippines own BERDE Standard, a measure of how
environment-friendly a structure is.

The DLSU Centennial Hall is named in

honor of its first donor, Henry Sy, Sr., whose
generosity jump-started its construction.
