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 鈥�
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鈥檚 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;
