The Students’ Chemical Engineering Networking Event (SCENE), held last November 16, 202,4, at the UP Diliman College of Home Economics Gusali 2, opened new opportunities to aspiring chemical engineers by inviting known industry representatives and bringing the nation’s future to the forefront. SCENE partnered with renowned companies in the chemical engineering industry.

Lastly, the Inter-University Chemical Engineering Quiz Show (Inter-U), the premier national quiz bowl for chemical engineering students, was held on November 30, 2024. De La Salle University Team A, consisting of Patricia Soriano, Kevin Tan, Luther Jardin, and Jan Joshua Cruz, triumphed on top and won 1st place. Inter-U challenged 14 participating teams across the Philippines in their knowledge and proficiency in chemical engineering and sciences.

UP KEM proudly concludes the success of the 15th Students’ National Chemical Engineering Conference, as the nation’s future engineers continue to pioneer the innovations of tomorrow.
