Mission

To prepare relevant and adaptive chemical engineers in state-of-the-art areas by emphasizing real world problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Vision

The Department of Chemical Engineering is a recognized leader in chemical engineering education through excellence in teaching, research, and service.

Program Educational Objectives

Within roughly five to seven years our graduate population will collectively exhibit the following traits:

• Be real-world problem solvers (RWPS) : the graduates of our program will obtain positions such as plant process engineer, design engineer, group leader, production engineering, sales engineer.

•   Be critical thinkers (CT) : the graduates of our program will demonstrate that they consistently make informed decisions through a process wherein they utilize critical thinking skills.

•   Have continued their formal education (CFE) : our graduates will demonstrate that they have continued their education beyond the BS through some form of professional development (not necessarily leading to another degree) or will have graduated from a professional school with an MS, PhD, MD, JD or similar degree.

•   Be working at the frontiers in ChE (FChE) : graduates from our program will utilize and apply technologies such as bio materials, nano- and micro-systems, multi-scale analysis, informatics, group dynamics and, multi-media.
