Course Description

UNIVERSITY LIFE PURPOSE

To educate and serve the less privileged but deserving
students of Manila.

Vision: Scholars of Integrity and Excellence

The Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), created by
a National Charter (RA 4196, 1965), was envisioned to be
Manilas premier institution for higher learning. It provides
superior standards of instructions, as well as opportunities for
outstanding research in technology and other areas for the
development of the intellect and to advance in human
knowledge.
The Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila has adopted the
policy of preferential option for the poor and therefore has
prioritized education for the underprivileged but talented
students of Manila. Committed to the highest intellectual and
ethical standards. PLM strives to produce competent
graduates with integrity who will be responsible citizens who
can contribute effectively to local, national and global
initiatives for the progressive and sustainable development of
humanity.

This course deals with a

series
of
lectures
and
seminars on selected topics
that are highly relevant to
chemical engineering but are
not covered in any of the
other formal courses. It
covers recent advances in
chemical engineering. Visits
to industrial plants are also
conducted during the term.

Guided by the values of academic excellence, integrity and

social responsibility, PLM endeavors to be one of the leading
universities in the ASEAN.

Mission
The PLM Board of Regents, Management, Faculty, and Staff
are committed:
1. To be recognized by Philippines and ASEAN academic
accrediting agencies as a premier university for its quality
education, research, and extension services;
2. To insure that PLM maintains a higher than the national
average performance on all professional licensure
examinations taken by its graduates;
3. To continue to provide the students with an education that
will give them a competitive advantage for employment
opportunities

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND

TECHNOLOGY
Vision: The College of Engineering and Technology will be
the premier college in technological education, research and
extension services.
Mission
Guided by this Vision, we commit ourselves:
1. To uphold excellence through curriculum development
and teaching, significant advances in knowledge, and
services to the community of which we are a part.
2. To nurture students with a technological education of the
highest quality that will enable them to professional
competent, community directed and God-centered
individuals; and
3. To develop faculty members and staff to be excellent
examples in leadership and management.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

Vision: The Chemical Engineering (ChE) Department
envisions itself as a center of excellence a leading
institution for research and with highly qualified faculty
members duly recognized for producing technically
competent, socially involved and globally responsive
professionals.
Mission
The ChE Department commits itself to:
1. Develop student scholars who are technically competent
and globally prepared in the chemical engineering
discipline through the provision of high quality
undergraduate
programs
and
research-centered
curriculum;
2. Cultivate moral values, social awareness and team spirit
in the curriculum and extension activities
