“C.    Only handheld electronic calculators, WHICH ARE NOT programmable, shall be allowed in the examination room. Personal computers, laptop, and higher types of calculating medium shall not be allowed.”

The amendments introduced in this Resolution shall be implemented in the November 5, 6 & 7, 1997 Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination and in subsequent examinations.
