About the ENADE Engenharia Química Exam
ENADE Engenharia Química is the Brazilian national assessment of graduating chemical engineering students, run by INEP under the Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior (SINAES, Lei nº 10.861/2004). Portaria INEP nº 166 of 14 April 2026 sets the Componente Específico for this area from the 2026 edition: 30 multiple-choice items plus 1 discursive item, built on the course's Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais and on the professional legislation that governs engineering practice. A common 15-item Formação Geral block (Portaria INEP nº 154/2026) is shared with every course assessed in the same cycle, giving 46 items in a 4-hour session. The official scope names 19 objetos de conhecimento, including Balanços de massa e energia, Termodinâmica, Transferência de quantidade de movimento, de calor e de massa, Operações unitárias, Engenharia das reações químicas, Engenharia de bioprocessos, Engenharia de meio ambiente, Modelagem, simulação, otimização e controle de processos and Projeto e segurança de processos.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the official structure of the 2026 ENADE Engenharia Química exam?
Under Edital INEP nº 61/2026 and Portaria INEP nº 166/2026, the paper runs for 4 hours and contains 46 items: 15 Formação Geral multiple-choice questions common to every course in the cycle, plus a Componente Específico of 30 multiple-choice questions and 1 discursive question. The 2026 sitting is on 29 November 2026.
Is there a pass mark for ENADE?
No. ENADE produces no individual pass or fail. It is a mandatory curricular component, so a graduating student who is registered and fails to sit it cannot graduate, but the scores are used to build the course's Conceito Enade on a 1 to 5 scale and feed the CPC and IGC quality indicators for the programme and institution.
Who has to sit ENADE Engenharia Química?
Graduating (concluinte) students of Bacharelado em Engenharia Química whose institution registers them through the Sistema Enade. Entering (ingressante) students are no longer required to sit the paper but must complete the Questionário do Estudante Ingressante to stay in good standing.
Is there a fee to take ENADE?
No. ENADE is free for students. Registration is handled by the higher education institution (IES) through INEP's Sistema Enade, not by the student individually.
How does ENADE differ from CREA registration?
ENADE is an academic assessment run by INEP/MEC to measure course quality. Professional registration with the Conselho Regional de Engenharia e Agronomia (CREA/CONFEA) is the separate legal licence, obtained after graduation, that allows you to practise engineering in Brazil.
Do these practice questions match the official exam format?
Not exactly. The official exam is written and answered in Portuguese and includes a discursive item plus a broad Formação Geral block on transversal themes such as human rights, climate change and social inclusion. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation built from the official objetos de conhecimento; it is a study aid, not an official translation or a format simulation.
