Which body determines the contents of the licensure examination for chemical engineers?

• A. CHED
• B. PRC
• C. ChE Regulatory Board
• D. Department of Education

Answer: (C)

The body that determines the contents of the licensure examination for chemical engineers is the professional regulatory board for chemical engineering. This Board is responsible for outlining the exam blueprint, deciding which topics and competencies must be tested to ensure a graduate is prepared to practice safely and effectively. The licensure exam is then administered by the Professional Regulation Commission, which carries out the testing and licensing process, but the actual content decisions come from the regulatory Board to reflect current professional standards and practice.

CHED focuses on higher education standards and program accreditation, not on licensing exams; the Department of Education handles basic education. So the Board for Chemical Engineering sets what topics need to be covered, making it the best answer.
