The Department of Home Economics Education (DHEEd) is the oldest department at CHE. Established in 1922 under the College of Education, it is the forerunner of the present DHEEd, which was organized in 1961 when CHE was created.
Greetings from the Department Chairperson!
Mabuhay and welcome to our online home! As the Chairperson of the Department of Home Economics Education (DHEEd), I am honored to lead a community with a legacy dating back to 1921. Since our founding as the pioneering department of the College of Home Economics, we have remained steadfast in our belief that the family is the primary social institution and the foundation of a good society. My personal conviction, shared by our "young and vibrant" team, is that our work transcends the classroom; it is a vital mission focused on the good of humanity.
At the DHEEd, we envision ourselves as value-laden and impactful leaders in the field. Our core mission is to empower Filipino families and consumers by utilizing home economics knowledge and skills through quality education, transformative research, and dedicated public service. In a society facing complex social and economic shifts, we do not merely teach skills; we practice a mission-oriented discipline that bridges the gap between macro-level policies and the micro-level realities of day-to-day living. We see ourselves as stewards of the Filipino family, dedicated to empowering individuals and consumers to navigate life by focusing on the interaction between the material and relational aspects through competencies in managing the resources at our disposal, no matter how big or small.
Whether you are a prospective student, a researcher, or a community partner, we invite you to explore our website to discover more about our vibrant academic environment.

Department Organizational Structure
Our Disciplinal Framework
DHEEd Faculty, 2006 as cited in Gabriel, et al., 2017
Home Economics Education (HEEd) is a field of study which integrates concepts, skills, principles, and theories of different fundamental skills subjects of home economics, namely food and nutrition, housing and interiors, clothing, crafts, family life and child development, for teaching and life application.
It emphasizes skills in decision-making and household resource management. It takes into serious consideration the interaction between the material and relational aspects of day-to-day living and the use of science and technology for the well-being of people and their environment.
As a sub-discipline of Home Economics, HEEd focuses on four areas of integration:
home economics education training and research
household resource management
entrepreneurship and livelihood development, and
consumer studies and education
Our Logo
The logo reflects the ideals, principles, and characteristics of the Department of Home Economics Education (HEEd). It is composed of the letters H.E. Ed. that are arranged to represent the different focus areas and goals of the department. When viewed as a whole, the letters form an image of a person representing the individual, family, and society which the home economics discipline serves through the department’s four integrative areas of: (1) household resource management, (2) entrepreneurship and livelihood education, (3) consumer education, and (4) home economics education, training, and research. These four areas are symbolized by two elements: (1) the home (represented by a roof) formed by the letters H.E. at the top and (2) education (represented by a book) formed by Ed. at the bottom. Lastly, the open-spaced logo reflects how the study of home economics adapts to changing environments as it contributes to the holistic development and attainment of enhanced quality of life of the individual, family, and society.
This logo was designed by graphic artist John Christopher Amonoy. The department launched it in June 2019.
