Science and engineering will continue to define our society in the 21st Century and the greatest progress is likely to occur in the interdisciplinary areas shared by the various science and engineering fields. Recognizing these challenges, the School of Science and Engineering aims to provide excellent training for students in basic and applied disciplines. Indeed, the School's strength is not only its individual departments but also its active interdisciplinary undertakings.

Students are under the care of highly qualified and dedicated faculty, several of whom have been recognized by various award-giving bodies. They are assured of an environment that is conducive to learning and discovery where research is a key component of their education.

Student training is enhanced by our excellent laboratory facilities. the School is host to a number of nationally recognized centers:

	The Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics have been named CHED Centers of Excellence, and the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science (DISCS) is a CHED Center of Development Excellence.
	National Chemistry Instrumentation Center, where the country's only high-field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and high-resolution Mass Spectrometer (MS) are housed.
	The School is also a partner of the Japan Ministry of Post, enabling the development of satellite communication in education among the Southeast Asian countries and Japan.
	The School collaborates closely with the Manila Observatory on research on climate change and atmospheric pollution.

The science and engineering programs emphasize student-centers learning and research, mastery and experimentation. Combined with the well-rounded Ateneo education, these aim to produce not only excellent scientists and engineers, but also leaders for society in the 21st century.
