Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering Program Objectives
The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering has four goals pertaining to student outcomes within a few years of graduation:
- Our graduates will succeed in careers requiring quantitative and scientific rigor, creative problem solving, engineering design expertise and excellent communication and teamwork skills
- Our graduates will continue their professional development through life-long learning involving self- or group-study and on-the-job training
- Our graduates will hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public. They will conduct their work ethically, taking into consideration sustainability as well as local and global impact
- Our graduates will be leaders in their area of expertise who are prepared to contribute to research, development and industrial innovation at the forefront of chemical engineering and related fields
Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering Student Outcomes
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
The BS in chemical engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Chemical, Biochemical, Biomolecular, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. ABET accreditation is a significant achievement. We have worked hard to ensure that our program meets the quality standards set by the chemical engineering profession. And, because it requires comprehensive, periodic evaluations, ABET accreditation demonstrates our continuing commitment to the quality of our program both now and in the future.
