To whom does the Board of Chemical Engineering or its authorized representative coordinate in the inspection of facilities, faculty, equipment and other aspects directly related to the Chemical Engineering program of educational institutions?

• A. PRC
• B. CHED
• C. PICHE
• D. DOST

Answer: (B)

In the Philippines, higher education program quality and standards are overseen by CHED, so the Board of Chemical Engineering (as part of the licensing boards) coordinates with CHED when inspecting facilities, faculty, equipment, and other program-related aspects at educational institutions. CHED leads the quality assurance process for engineering programs and works with the Board to verify that the program meets national standards. The other options do not play this coordinating role in program inspections: PRC handles licensure and professional regulation, while DOST and PICHE are not the bodies responsible for coordinating these program inspections.
