BS Chemical Engineering Program Educational Objectives
To accomplish the mission of the Institute, the Chemical Engineering & Technology
Department supports the objectives of the College and the Institute and expands the
objectives to satisfy the needs of the Chemical Engineering constituent groups.
The Chemical Engineering & Technology Department at the Mindanao State University –
Iligan Institute of Technology strives to prepare its graduates who, after five years of
their professional career, have:
- Established themselves in the field of Biotechnology, Chemical, Energy, Environment,
Food/Nutraceuticals/Flavours/Fragrances, Materials, Nanotechnology, Petrochemical,
Pharmaceutical, and/or Mineral industries as engineers, academicians, technopreneurs,
innovators and/or researchers;
- Established themselves as practicing professionals through increased responsibilities
beyond their original entry-level position;
- Engaged in post-baccalaureate study or thru continued education like professional
licensure, additional certification and special training; and
- Involved in professional extension through mentoring, community activities, and/or
served in local/national/international professional societies.
BS Chemical Engineering Program Outcomes
By the time of graduation, the students of the program shall be able to:
Engineering practice both as an art and science
- Apply knowledge of mathematics, physical sciences, engineering sciences to the practice
of chemical engineering;
- Use appropriate techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for the
practice of chemical engineering;
- Possess knowledge and sound judgment of contemporary issues in the context of the
University’s diverse and multicultural environment involving the Tri-people of Mindanao
(Christians, Muslims, Lumads) and their rich heritage.
Critical thinking and in-depth analysis
- Identify, formulate, and solve chemical engineering problems;
- Design, improve, innovate, and supervise systems, or process to meet desired needs
within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political,
ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability, in accordance with
standards;
- Possess specialized knowledge in at least one field of chemical engineering practice,
and the ability to apply such knowledge to provide solutions to actual problems with
understanding on the impact of such solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and
societal context.
