With an assortment of pens, intimate review sessions, and a dream, chemical engineering students will undergo a career-defining test in November before finally pursuing their professional careers. Fortunately, the Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination Primer (ChEckBoard) is back to assist students and help them lock in this October 2025.
The Chemical Engineering Licensure Exams (ChELE) will be held from November 19 to 21 this year. The standardized test will condense four or five years of chemical engineering subjects into a three-day test. It will contain topics ranging from Physical and Chemical Principles, Chemical Engineering Principles, and General Engineering, spread over three days of examination.
Its results will be a litmus test to determine whether students are qualified to be licensed chemical engineers, serving as a gateway to their professional careers. To conquer the ChELE, chemical engineering students will need to review a plethora of academic materials in the coming months as part of their preparation.
Just before November, however, ChEckBoard 2025: Locked In will open its doors to students in the hopes of giving assistance to aspiring professionals once more. With the theme Locked In, the event will help equip students with the necessary focus and preparation needed to overcome their ChELE.
In the Zone
Spearheading the event in its 16th year, the University of the Philippines Academic League of Chemical Engineering Students Inc. (UP ALCHEMES) will opt for a full face-to-face setup this October 18 for ChEckBoard 2025 at UP Diliman.
Last year’s event featured speakers from the academe and the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods industries, which gave students insight into what to expect in their professional lives. The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), alongside review centers, offered the curriculum list to the event’s participants.
This year’s iteration will be no less than last year’s, and will feature speakers from broad backgrounds, including experts from professional industries and long-time researchers. PRC speakers will also be there to impart familiarity and test-taking guidelines for the event, especially on non-programmable calculator use.
This year’s program will include the participation of multiple topnotchers, underscoring the event’s commitment to motivating future chemical engineers from different perspectives. Beyond academics, the event also aims to ease participants’ stress with fun activities, giveaways, and prizes that could come in handy for the ChELE.
So revisit your Perry’s and your unit processes, and get acquainted once more with pressure-temperature diagrams, because the exam of your life looms nearer and nearer. Joining this event may help secure your spot among the experts in ten years.
The gates of the event are still open and ready to welcome students who want to be locked in for their ChELE, through https://tinyurl.com/CB25RegularReg. Visit ChEckBoard’s official Facebook Page for more details.
