The Chemical Engineering Society
started the school year right by conducting a Career Path Seminar at Albertus
Magnus Auditorium last July 25 titled, “Explore the Unusual, Pursue ChE.” Attended
by mostly first year to third year chemical engineering students, the seminar focused
on the unaccustomed definition of chemical engineering, its importance to the
industry and the traits and habits one should possess in order to finish the
program.

“Seek the job that will make you happy.” These are the words
Engr. Arnold Benitez, a UST ChE Batch 1995 Alumni, enunciated as he briefly
discussed a vast list of career path options for a chemical engineer. He reminisced
past experiences and shared his journey towards becoming the Asia Pacific
Marketing Strategic Manager of Dow Chemical Pacific Ltd. at present.
On the other hand, another
UST ChE Alumni (Batch 1975) emphasized on the challenges and the counter
advantages of being a chemical engineer. Engr. Edwina Villarosa, Chief
Executive Officer of Environatural Corporation, wittily summarized her talk
with an inspirational advice, “You should
be prepared to become rich!”
Moreover, Asst. Prof. Rosalina
A. Lioanag, ChE Department Chairperson, graced the event with a brief discourse
concerning the abilities a ChE student should possess in order to transform to
a professional engineer. “You’ve got to
be a Star- seeker, team player, adaptable and responsible,” she stated.
It has been a tradition of
Chemical Engineering Society to conduct career path orientation every start of
a school year. This is to inspire students to pursue the program they have
chosen despite the hardships they may encounter during the journey.
