XAVIER UNIVERSITY

GOALS
u To develop and enhance the research capabilities
of the College of Engineering faculty and students through relevant researches, trainings and service learning programs; other university units, academic institutions, industries, the government, and organizations in the local, national, and international arenas; capabilities of the College through internal and external grants and self-generated funds; and committed personnel and a highly functional management system.
We need to ask: Who benefits from the knowledge produced in our institutions and who does not? Who needs the knowledge we can share, and how can we share it more effectively with those from whom that knowledge can truly make a difference, especially the poor and excluded?
