The revised syllabus for each subject in the Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination is embodied in the Annex (Annex “A” appended hereto).
It becomes effective after fifteen (15) days following its publication in the Official Gazette or any newspaper of general circulation, whichever is earlier, upon its approval by the Commission.
The resolution states that its effectivity is “upon its approval by the Commission,” after which it follows the 15-day publication rule.
It provides that the resolution be disseminated to all recognized schools offering the Chemical Engineering course and other concerned entities.
It establishes the specific publication-based start of its enforceability/effectivity, using either the Official Gazette or a newspaper of general circulation as alternative publication media, whichever occurs first.
The syllabus contains the concepts, principles, and applications that are the basis for preparing examination questions to be inputted into the data bank.
Pursuant to Sec. 13 of R.A. 5734, the Board resolves to adopt and promulgate a revised syllabus for each subject in the Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination, embodied in the annex.
The resolution shows signatures/roles including the Board Chairman and Members, the Secretary, Professional Regulatory Boards (attested), and PRC Commissioners including a Commissioner and Associate Commissioners, reflecting commission approval/part of rules and regulations.
It states that the resolution is “Approved as Part of the Rules and Regulations of the Board,” indicating it is integrated into the Board’s formal regulatory framework.
