Engr. Victor J. Lau, Jr, Engr. Joshua Allen A. Alcaraz, and Engr. Gregory Emmanuel J. Mendoza respectively garnered the 2nd, 3rd, and 10th highest scores in the May 2017 Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination held last May 24, 25, and 26.
Thirty-three (33) out of fifty-two (52) examinees from Mapua University passed the exam, yielding a passing rate of 63.46% which is well above the national passing rate of 55.26%.
Congratulations to our newly minted Chemical Engineers! Viva Mapua!
Ken Yamauchi, a student of the School of Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Biological Engineering and Material Science Engineering, is part of the team that garnered 2nd place in the 12th Executives’ Challenge held at the Electrical Engineering Auditorium in University of the Philippines Los Baños on February 12, 2017.

Three graduates of the School of Chemical Egineering and Chemistry of Mapua Institute of Technology entered and received awards in the rerecently held Ramon Magsaysay Future Engineers/Technologists Awards last December 5, 2016
Kenneth P. Gonzales landed on the 10th spot of the May 2016 Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination held last May 17-19, 2016 with an overall rating of 81%.
Furthermore, 22 out of 25 first time takers (88%) and 11 out of 14 repeaters (78.57%) passed the exam, resulting to an overall passing rate for MIT of 33 out of 39 or 84.62%. For comparison, the nationwide passing rate is 64.13%.

The Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) recently introduced its set of flagship softwares for water modelling called MIKE powered by DHI on a ceremonious introduction last May 16, 2016 at the MIT Research Building.
MIKE powered by DHI was handed by DHI Regional Software Sales Executive Pierre Hoevelt and introduced a bit about the software. MIKE boasts 10 software packages under the MIKE suite that covers all the aspects of the water cycle such as ocean modelling, urban flood water, rainwater, dams and reservoirs, sewerage systems, and many more.
The Philippine Technological Council - Accreditation and Certification Board for Engineering and Technology (PTC-ACBET) granted the BS Chemical Engineering program along with three other programs of Mapua Institute of Technology (MIT), the full accreditation status during their institutional visit last February 12, 2016.
The National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP) under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) will be inducting two faculty members of the School of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry on its 83rd General Membership Assembly and Scientific Conference on Research Innovation for Inclusive Development that will be held on the 16th of March 2016 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).
The Commision on Higher Education recently released CHED Memorandum Order No. 38, series of 2015, which elevates the BS Chemical Engineering program of Mapua Institute of Technology as a Center of Excellence.
This development follows as the BS Chemical Engineering program of MIT "unceasingly demonstrates excellent performance in areas of instruction, research, linkages, and institutional qualifications."
The Kapisanang Kimika ng Pilipinas (KKP), in cooperation with the KKP/ICP Panay Chapter and the Philippine Federation of Chemistry Societies (PFCS) cordially invites everyone to attend the 31st Philippine Chemistry Congress to be held on April 13-15, 2016 at the Iloilo Grand Hotel, Iloilo City. This year's theme is aptly entitled "Chemistry Beyond Borders: Blurring Traditional Boundaries" and includes a multitude of activities such as plenary sessions and research paper presentations.
