CERBIS or Civil
Engineering Research-Based Initiatives & Services is a community service and enagegement activity of the DLSU Civil Engineering Department where undergraduate and graduate researches address civil engineering related
problems in the community and local government units. Among the problems and issues that have been
addressed in recent years are on traffic management, transportation planning, disaster
risk assessment, seaimic, wind and flood risk assessments, supporting LGUs in the preservation of heritage buildings
and promotion of safe schools.
The researches are conducted either by the DLSU students and
faculty only or in collaboration with other schools or LGUs. For example, in Iloilo
City where most of the projects were done, DLSU CE Department conducted joint
researches with the local schools (Central Philippine University and
UP-Visayas) and the local government units (Iloilo City and Guimaras Province)
to solve CE related local problems in Iloilo City and Guimaras Province. These
researches focused on (a) preserving the Heritage site/buildings of Iloilo City,

modelling in Iloilo City and (c) Analysis of tourists for job creation and
economic growth.
