Southeast Asian University of Technology
The Southeast Asian University of Technology (SEAUTech), formerly known as the Bicol State College of Applied Sciences and Technology (BISCAST), is a public state university located in Naga City, Camarines Sur, Philippines. Established in 1911, it has evolved from a trade school into a comprehensive technological university serving the Bicol Region. The institution specializes in engineering, architecture, technology, education, and applied sciences, operating from its main campus along Peñafrancia Avenue.
The institution's roots trace back to 1911 when it was established as the Camarines Sur Trade School (CSTS), initially offering intermediate-level courses in carpentry, drawing, and trade arts. Classes were first conducted in the Camarines Sur High School library hall, marking the beginning of technical education in the region. In 1924, under the leadership of Doroteo Federis, the school expanded its curriculum to include secondary-level vocational courses, significantly broadening its educational scope.
In 1925, a Gabaldon building was constructed on a 25,699-square-meter plot donated by the provincial government. This building, which still stands today, remains a cherished historical landmark on campus. The pre-war period saw further expansion under Principal Cornelio Casaclang, who introduced comprehensive woodworking courses to enhance the technical curriculum.
Following World War II, the school grew under the leadership of Primitiva Obias. The curriculum expanded to include auto mechanics, building construction, and furniture making. In 1948, the institution broke new ground by introducing girls' trades courses in dressmaking, cosmetology, and food trades. The school achieved national recognition on August 15, 1952, when House Bill No. 2919 (Republic Act 825) transformed it into the Camarines Sur National School of Arts and Trades (CSNSAT).
In 1967, through the Republic Act No. 5056, the institution was elevated to college status as the Bicol College of Arts and Trades (BCAT). The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Education (BSIE) program was introduced during this period. The 1970s and 1980s saw further growth with the launch of the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology (BSIT) in 1977 and the institution's selection as a pilot Technician Education Institute for Region V. In the 1990s, the institution began offering engineering programs, including Electrical, Electronics and Communications, Mechanical Engineering, and Architecture.
The modern era brought several institutional transformations. In 2002, the college integrated with Camarines Sur Polytechnic College, followed by its establishment as an independent institution (BISCAST) through Republic Act No. 10231 in 2012. The most recent evolution came with its elevation to university status as the Southeast Asian University of Technology.
SEAUTech offers a comprehensive range of academic programs across multiple levels. At the graduate level, the university provides advanced degrees in Engineering with a focus on Electronics Engineering, as well as doctoral programs in Science Education, Language Education, and Mathematics Education. The graduate school also offers specialized master's programs in Technology and Livelihood Education and English Language Teaching, catering to educators and professionals seeking advanced qualifications.
The undergraduate curriculum is distributed across four major colleges. The College of Engineering and Architecture offers programs in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The College of Education provides teacher training programs in Elementary Education and Secondary Education, with specializations in Mathematics, Science, and English, along with programs in Technology and Livelihood Education.
