De La Salle College transferred to its present site on Taft Avenue, Manila. The architectural design of St. La Salle Hall was created by Tomas Mapua. It was the winning entry in a competition sponsored by the school. During this time, many heads of state visited it, not the least of which were thenGovernor-General Leonard Wood and Senate President Manuel Luis Quezon. Extracurricular clubs and activities flourished during this decade. La Salles star shone brightly in the sports arena, with National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships in basketball, football, and track events. Back then, La Salle also had a 200-member Glee Club, a combo of jazz musicians, a reputed oratorical team, and a cheering squad named Yell Command.

Some

Lasallian firsts
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.

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.

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).

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

Transformative learning

Computer science

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.

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.

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.

About DLSU

SOLAR POWERED CAR

SINAG, the first Philippine solar car, was designed and built by students and faculty of DLSU s College of Engineering. Driven by a team of La Salle students, it raced across the Australian sub-continent to a stellar finish at the 20th World Solar Challenge. In pursuit of solar technology research, DLSU also developed two more solar cars, one of which toured across the country in 2010 and another raced in the World Solar Challenge in 2011.

world champ soccer robots

Engineering faculty and students led the Philippine soccer robot team that captured the gold medal in the Millennium Challenge and the silver medal in the Benchmark Category of the Fedaeration of International RobotSoccer Association World Cup 2000 held in Central Queensland University, Australia. It was a record first for a Philippine university.

Wise messaging system

To improve access to University-related information, La Salles Information Technology Center established in 2001 the DLSU Wireless Information Services (DLSU WISe), another first in the local academic scene. This allows community members to receive announcements, such as final exam schedules, UAAP standings, or class suspensions, via text messaging service.

Asean Benchmarking
In an effort to push its standards to the international level, DLSU in 2008 opened its doors to the ASEAN University Network-Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) for an assessment of its Chemical Engineering and Economics programs. The Chemistry, Literature, and Psychology programs also underwent the assessment in 2010, and the Applied Corporate Management, Physics, and Software Technology programs in 2011. The AUN-QA gave positive feedback and ratings based on the information provided in the Universitys self-assessment report, on-site verification of the documents, and interviews with selected stakeholders including faculty, staff, students, alumni members, and employers.

internet-connected classrooms
Every classroom at DLSU provides Internet access and features LCD projectors, thin client computers, and hi-tech speakers. Under the Technology-Enabled Learning Environment (TELE) Project started in Academic Year 2009-2010, DLSU has created a learning environment that supports transformative learning and global connection.

COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM ON FOOD AND HEALTH

The University and seven other La Salle schools nationwide in partnership with the Institut Polytechnique La Salle Beauvais, France established the De La Salle Food Institute to provide a comprehensive program on food and health. Established in 2011, the Institute will examine food and health in its entire supply chainfrom the production of food and end user consumption to logistical requirements and environmental impact.

Physical empatHic computing

The Center for Empathic Human-Computer Interactions (CEHCI) of the College of Computer Studies had a demonstration of the Philippines first physical empathic computing space in November 2009 on campus. The space is equipped with a sensor network to identify its current occupant, recognize his emotions, and respond in an empathic manner via adjustment of ambient parameters such as temperature, lighting, and background music.

on their

Lasallian xperience
e
The University was one of the first in the country to really push entrepreneurship and come up with a curriculum that encourages innovation, risk-taking, creativity - all that we associate with entrepreneurs. La Salle has contributed to a mindset thats very much of this generation, one thats not afraid to grasp opportunities but at the same time is quick to give back to society.

If life means having a good time, money, fame, power, security - then you dont need principles; all you need are techniques. On the other hand, if happiness counts more than a good time, respect more than fame, right more than power, and peace of soul more than security; if death doesnt end life but transforms it, then you must be true to yourself and to God...
Jose W. Diokno
Secretary of Justice F ilipino nationalist, former Philippine Senator, and former

As businessmen, we are judged by our actions. The Lasallian values helped me by molding my business principles, to make a profit without trampling on the hearts of the people I deal with. It also reinforced my belief that yes, the Filipino can!

(I am) blessed to have been educated a Lasallian and having St. John Baptist de La Salle as an inspiration and model. Like him, I wish to use my talents and gifts to serve the poor. Like him, I wish to teach minds, touch hearts, and help transform lives.

The values that I have learned as a Lasallian are values which are helping me in my present job as President and CEO of the Development Bank of the Philippines. These are the values of honesty and service, two traits which are lacking in the Philippines at the present time. With these two values we should be able to propel the country into a more advanced economy.
