To which body does the Board of Chemical Engineering coordinate for inspections of the Chemical Engineering program at educational institutions?

• A. PRC
• B. PICHE
• C. DOST
• D. CHED

Answer: (D)

In the Philippines, quality and compliance of higher education programs are overseen by CHED, the Commission on Higher Education. The Board of Chemical Engineering, which handles licensure and professional regulation, works with CHED when it comes to inspecting the Chemical Engineering program at educational institutions. CHED sets the standards for curricula, facilities, and overall program quality, and the board coordinates with CHED to ensure these standards are met so graduates are prepared for professional practice. The other bodies aren’t responsible for inspecting academic programs: PRC handles licensure after graduation, DOST focuses on science policy and research, and PICHE is a professional organization rather than the program-inspection authority.
