Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (4 years)
The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (ChemE) curriculum provides the student with the knowledge and skills needed for future leadership and global competitiveness in the practice of the Chemical Engineering profession. It provides a rich environment for research and for imbibing Christian values distinct to Thomasian engineers.
Within four years after graduation, Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering alumni from the University of Santo Tomas shall be engaged either locally or abroad in design, operation, or management of an industrial plant; or pursue teaching, research, technical sales, or entrepreneurship after having completed advanced studies or special training. Furthermore, they shall be expected to imbibe the Thomasian traits of contemplative, creative, and critical thinking; exemplary work ethic; and a commitment to the improvement of society and lifelong learning.
The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Chemical, Biochemical, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

The Advisory Council (AC) facilitates the consultation with the external constituencies when reviewing and updating the Program Educational Objectives, as well as the curriculum and Student Outcomes, and to some extent the overall plans, for the continued relevance of the ChE Program.
The AC consists of alumni, major employers, representatives from the chemical engineering professional organization and representatives from other higher educational institutions offering the same Program. The council members help the Department in identifying the expected academic capability and skills necessary to be possessed by Chemical Engineers in the actual practice of the profession and provide recommendation on possible courses to be embedded in the curriculum in various areas of specialization.
Likewise, they participate in the review and realignment of the Program Educational Objectives (PEO) of the Chemical Engineering Program to respond to the demands of the industry, both local and global.
