Sedfrey L. Macatantan, a graduating student of Mapua University, School of Chemical, Biological, and Materials Engineering and Sciences, received a grant from AIR LIQUIDE to attend its Summer School Program in Paris, France on June 26 - July 3, 2018. The Summer School Program was attended by 30 undergraduate and graduate students from different parts of the world where Air Liquide has plants. Macatantan was the only representative of the Philippines, chosen from applicants from different universities in the country.

Adonis P. Adornado, a CBMES faculty and MSChE candidate, received a grant from United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) to attend the 2018 International Student Conference on Environment and Sustainability (ISCES) on June 2 - 7, 2018 as part of World Environment Day Celebration. UNEP, Tongji University, Beijing Environment Foundation for Young Talents, and Xinhua News Agency co-organized the event.

Mapúa University’s President Dr. Reynaldo B. Vea signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Honeywell UOP’s Director of R&D Dr. Medhat Tannous, with Dr. Santi Kulprathipanja the Director for Southeast Asia R&D at Bayleaf Intramuros last October 25, 2017.

Chemical Engineering program chair Dr. Alvin R. Caparanga had been named to succeed Prof. Luz L. Lozano as the Dean of the School of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry (ChE-Chm) when she retired on her 65th birthday last September 21.

Meanwhile, Prof. Edna J. Calderon will formally take up the post of chemistry program chair on October 2, another post vacated by the recently-retired dean. Caparanga will also simultaneously serve as the program chair for chemical engineering, a position he has occupied since mid-2003.

In a span of 6 months, faculty members and students of the Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) program had published and presented a total of 12 papers on 3 different international platforms. Prof. Menandro C. Marquez, Prof. Ruth R. Aquino, and Prof. Larry T. Reyes, along with students from the MSE program, recently brought their work to Malaysia, Thailand, and Japan.
