BS CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Aware of its role in providing competent chemical engineers, the UP Diliman Department of Chemical Engineering must ensure that its curriculum keeps up with the technological advancement and emerging global concerns of its field. The current BS ChE curriculum, which was first implemented in 2012, aims to develop and strengthen the technical, analytical, research, social and management skills of the students. It will prepare them to be responsible leaders in the practice of the profession.

Chemical engineers worldwide have worked in a wide array of industries. Economic, health, energy and environmental considerations require new knowledge and innovations on products, product formulation, materials, processes, and systems control. Thus, the present curriculum aims to prepare students to be proficient in doing scientific research, particularly on chemical engineering applications.

Cognizant of the expertise of its faculty, the Department has identified various research areas for the students.

Program Education Objectives

The program aims to educate students such that three to five years from graduation, they:
