Chemical Engineering

The School of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry of Mapúa Institute of Technology was established in 1934. It offered the first Chemical Engineering Program in the Philippines. In June 1937, the School produced the first batch of graduates of Chemical Engineering in the Philippines. At present, the Chemical Engineering Program of the Mapúa University is one of the largest in the country. It has the legacy of producing graduates who have become leaders or reliable engineering workforce in the industry, business sector, government service, research, and academe.
