The document outlines the UPLIFT-CHE undergraduate program aimed at enhancing faculty teaching in chemical engineering across various Philippine universities. It details a series of phases from 2005 to 2009 focused on developing and assessing syllabi, improving teaching practices, and introducing new subjects in the curriculum. The program sought to raise student learning outcomes, measured by passing rates in each course within the chemical engineering discipline.
