Brief History
The five-year Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (BSChE) program started last AY 1995-1996 upon approval through BOR Resolution No.109 Series of 2008 D8 AY 1995-1996 (pioneer batch) along with the other Programs like BS Industrial Engineering, and BS Instrumentation and Control Engineering. The program was accredited to three accreditation organizations such as Accrediting Agencies of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP), Philippine Technological Council (PTC), and Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology – Engineering Accreditation Commission (ABET EAC).
The BSChE Program obtained Level I Accredited Status given by the Accrediting Agencies of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) valid until July 31, 2014. This was followed by the Level II Accredited Status given last July 16, 2014 and valid until July 16, 2018. The program also complied to the next level, Level III Phase I last May 17-19, 2021. The program was also accredited by the Philippine Technological Council (PTC) based on Accreditation and Certification Board for Engineering and Technology – Engineering Accreditation Commission (ACBET-EAC) Criteria and Guidelines last 2015. The program was accredited by ABET-EAC last August 2017.
The last curriculum revision was done to implement on AY 2018-2019 the transition from five (5) year curriculum to four (4) year curriculum that is based on CMO No. 91 series of 2017, CMO No. 4 series of 2018, and CMO No. 20 series of 2013. The curriculum was approved through Resolution No. 0511-2, series of 2018.
The program is designed to equipped its graduates for the Chemical Engineering profession in various activities ranging from conceptualization of industrial plants may it be new or an innovation, management of waste and water treatment facilities, total quality management, project management, teaching and or training of personnel, research and development, private consultation, and public service. The program equipped its graduates through emphasis on fundamental principles, laboratory works and computing skills, and lifelong learning. The program continually provides quality education through instruction, research activities, and extension services that can be manifested in the active participation of students in academic and research competition, student organization extra-curricular works and commitment of faculty.
