STUDENTS’ NATIONAL CHEMICAL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE
The Students’ National Chemical Engineering Conference (SNCEC) is one of the country’s biggest student- organized chemical engineering events. Every year, the UP Chemical Engineering Society, Inc. (UP KEM) organizes SNCEC with the goal of connecting future chemical engineers from all over the country as they learn about the latest developments in their chosen field of Chemical Engineering.
Last year’s SNCEC was awarded Best Academic and Research Development Project by the Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineers – Junior Chapter Luzon (PIChE-JCL) and Excellence in Service Award at the Engineering Organization Excellence Awards (EOEA).

14 15 NACHES
The National Chemical Engineering Symposium (NACHES) is a two-part, whole day event which provides an avenue for the country’s future chemical engineers from around the nation to learn about the challenges, opportunities, and innovations in the different fields of chemical engineering. Speakers from various backgrounds are invited to share their knowledge and expertise in a series of sessions and workshops. This year, NACHES will be tackling Local Fast-moving Consumer Goods – as it is one of the most basic and important necessities that the public needs. Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs), or otherwise known as public consumer goods, are readily-made products that people consume on a daily basis such as packaged food, beverages, alcohols, chips, powders, cooking ingredients, and cleaning materials.
16 17 MORNING SESSION
The morning session features three (3) resource speakers who will discuss FOOD CONSUMER PRODUCTS the general processing of Local Fast-moving Consumer Goods, as well as supply chains, transport processes/logistics, possible opportunities, recent innovations, and obstacles present in the different consumer Food consumer products are one of the most commonly consumed products, as they are product industries. readily bought in a wide variety of accessible outlets, from the simple sari-sari stores to large supermalls. Food FMCGs include chips, bread, cookies, chocolates, candies, honey, jam, agriculture-based products, and many more.
AFTERNOON SESSION BEVERAGE CONSUMER PRODUCTS
The afternoon session includes four (4) parallel sessions which will Aside from food consumer products, another important branch of consumer products discuss different subtopics under Local Fast-moving Consumer Goods. commonly used by the public is that of beverages. Beverages are commonly sold alongside This year, the subtopics to be discussed are the processes involved in food products since they go hand-in-hand in providing for the daily energy intake of many manufacturing to transportation of: Food, Beverages, Personal Care, consumers. Beverage FMCGs include purified/distilled water, juices, soft drinks, energy and Sanitary Equipment Consumer Products. drinks, and alcoholic beverages like wine, beer, gin, rum, etc.
PERSONAL CARE CONSUMER PRODUCTS
Personal care consumer products are those that cater to the primary self-care needs of people. These are essential, especially for Filipinos, since hygiene is an important necessity for improvement of the consumer’s well-being. Common examples of personal care FMCGs are wipes, napkins, alcohols, shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste, deodorants, and perfumes. Afterwards, the students will be grouped for the workshop session where they will be pre- sented with a problem that they need to solve through hands-on application of their knowl- edge in chemical engineering as well as the knowledge they acquired from the sympo- sium. Once completed, the participants will SANITARY EQUIPMENT CONSUMER PRODUCTS have a chance to present their solutions in their respective parallel sessions which will be assessed by selected judges. The group with Sanitary equipment consumer products, like personal care FMCGs, improve hygiene and the best presentation from each workshop personal well-being. However, they are catered towards maintaining cleanliness of the will be awarded accordingly. surrounding environment rather than an individual person. Examples of such FMCGs are detergent bars, bleach, disinfectants, rubbing alcohols, sanitizers, and insecticides.
18 19 INTER-U
Celebrating its 41st year as an avenue for the best and the brightest Chemical Engineering students nationwide, the Inter-University Chemical Engineering Competition (Inter-U) continues to showcase both the knowledge and expertise of students on topics in Chemical Engineering and related fields through its sub- events: Quiz Bowl and Case Study.
Inter-U’s premier and time-tested quiz show, Quiz Bowl, challenges the proficiency of students in the fundamental courses of Chemical Engineering and allied fields through a series of mind-boggling questions and problems. The Case Study, on the other hand, enables students to showcase their prowess in literature research, problem solving, and engineering design by synthesizing solutions to real-life issues concerning Chemical Engineering.

Step up. Open doors. Connect.
For the past several years, the Students’ Chemical Engineering Networking Event (SCENE) has been SNCEC’s forefront in opening the doors to the industry for many young professionals. Established chemical engineers are invited to share first-hand experiences from their respective fields. Participants are also given the chance to interact with representatives from various industries to give them insights on professional life, and more importantly, possible employment opportunities.
