Accreditation
The Chemical Engineering Bachelor of Science program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
The Petroleum Engineering Bachelor of Science program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
Chemical Engineering
The principal objective of our program is to prepare graduates for professional practice in industry or government, and for post-undergraduate training in chemical engineering, medicine, and other related disciplines.
- 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.
Students must gain a thorough grounding in basic sciences including chemistry, physics, and biology appropriate to the objectives of the program. Sufficient knowledge in the application of basic sciences to enable graduates to design, analyze, and control physical, chemical and biological processes, consistent with the program educational objectives and address the hazards associated with these processes
