The Chemical Engineering Students Summit Philippines (ChESSPh) is an annual gathering of chemical engineering undergraduate students from different colleges and universities across the country. In aim to spur the minds of these promising Filipino chemical engineers, professionals of the field are invited to conduct seminars and workshops to share their experiences, providing the students an extensive view of the field and inspiring them to contribute to the development of chemical engineering in the Philippines.
Themed “NEXUS: Embracing New Possibilities Through Unified Perspectives“, this year’s summit encourages an atmosphere for dynamic interaction between fellow students and professionals from the academe and the industry, creating a venue for a wide exchange of ideas. New skill-developing and intellectual programs will be introduced as ChESSPh 2014 explores the opportunities found in collaboration of different viewpoints to converge on a unified chemical engineering.
