Department of Chemical Engineering

The Department of Chemical Engineering was established in 1995 with the BS Chemical Engineering program as its offering. The program was approved through Board Resolution No. 228 s. 1994 on April 18, 1994. It is compliant with CHED Memorandum Order No. 91 s. 2017. It has been awarded Level I status by the Accrediting Agencies for Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) on November 30, 2011, and was recently awarded its Level III Phase 1 status.

The department has 10 faculty members which are all licensed chemical engineers and five of them are licensed chemical technicians. Two of the faculty members are Ph.D. Chemical Engineering holders, two of them are pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, one is pursuing a Ph.D. in Science Education, one is pursuing MS Chemical Engineering, and two are MS Chemical Engineering graduates. The Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineers-Junior Chapter MMSU (PICHE-JC MMSU) is the official academic organization of the students enrolled in the program.

Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering

Description of Program

     The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (BSChE) is a 4-year course that aims to produce highly competent engineers in the field of chemistry and chemical, biochemical, and environmental engineering. The field of chemical engineering encompasses industrial plant operations as well as design, construction, and operation of the processes and equipment that will ensure efficient transformation of raw materials into finished products. Chemical Engineers can be employed in various industries such as Food Processing and Pharmaceuticals, to name a few.

Awards and Recognition

     The BS Chemical Engineering Program of Mariano Marcos State University has been awarded a Level II status by the Accrediting Agency of State Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACUP) Inc.

Program Objectives

     MMSU CHE graduates should be able to:

1. Demonstrate adequate knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be effectively integrated into a knowledge-driven global economy and hold a managerial or supervisory position in the industry;
2. Communicate effectively and articulate ideas through various modalities and in diverse contexts in order to formulate process design and operations, improvement, and optimization including simple computer programs to solve chemical engineering problems.
3. Commit themselves to lifelong learning and personal development to achieve excellence in the field of research and development relevant to chemical engineering;
4. Analyze problems and issues critically, and develop ideas and innovative solutions to respond to the needs of local, national, and global communities by proposing changes in manufacturing processes and lab-scale set-ups to achieve the desired outputs.
5. Engage in activities that promote growth and empowerment for all sectors of society by preparing proposals to implement solutions from the investigated and gathered data related to problems in industrial processes while incorporating ethics, and environmental considerations.

Program Outcomes

The graduate of the BS Chemical Engineering program should have developed the ability to;

1. Solve complex engineering problems by applying the knowledge of mathematics and sciences;
2. Design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data;
3. Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints, in accordance with standards;
4. Function on multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams;
5. Identify, formulate and solve complex chemical engineering problems;
6. Practice the engineering profession ethically and responsibly;
7. Communicate effectively complex chemical engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large;
8. Innovate chemical engineering solutions that will bring impact in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context;
9. Engage in life-long learning;
10. Know contemporary issues;
11. Use techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for chemical engineering practice.
12. Employ engineering and management principles as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in a multidisciplinary environment.
13. Understand at least one specialized field of chemical engineering practice.
