History of Chemical Engineering
1839 – George E. Davis, 1850 – 1906,
(Father of Chemical Engineering)
suggested the need for a
mechanical engineer with
working knowledge in the
chemical industry.
“A chemical engineer is a person
with chemical and mechanical knowledge
who applies it to the utilization in
a manufacturing scale of chemical action.”

1880 – the first attempt to form a Society of
Chemical Engineers in London was created

Philippines (cont.)
◦ FEATI University
◦ Cagayan de Oro College
◦ Western Institute of Technology
◦ Northwestern University
◦ St. Paul University – Tuguegarao
• 21 schools remaining, half are state-run
Concerns of the Profession
Low turn-out of students taking chemical
engineering
Closure of schools offering chemical
engineering
No new chemical industries/plants being built
in the country
Global recession
Positive Developments in the
Profession
Larger admission quota for new students
taking up chemical engineering in state-run
universities
Top graduates from high school, specifically
outsourcing/services
No unemployed chemical engineer
With high school graduates going into
business, hospitality and leisure services
courses (culinary arts, HRM) and allied
medical courses (nursing, physical and
occupational therapy) and chemical
engineering is reserved for geeks and ego-
trippers.
Cost of Education
In a public university, a course in ChE is
approximately P3,500 to P 7,000 per
semester. In a private institution, it may
range from P30,000 to P55,000.*
