CIT-Chemical Engineering Class of 2009 Plant Designs

Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the application of physical science with mathematics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. 

In addition to producing useful materials, chemical engineering is also concerned with pioneering valuable new materials and techniques, an important form of research and development.

In partial fulfillment of the Chemical Engineering Plant Design Course, this year, the Cebu Institute of Technology Class of 2009 will be having the oral defense of their Chemical Eningineering Plant Design.
