The mission of the Chemical Engineering Program is to prepare a heterogeneous student body for entrance into the Chemical Engineering profession and for an evolving professional career. Students can demonstrate proficiency in the use of computer tools typical of those used in the process industries for research, development, design and operation activities. Students can demonstrate the ability to develop solutions to open-ended problems which achieve balance among competing constraints. Students can demonstrate the ability to think creatively and to extend their knowledge through independent learning. Students can demonstrate the ability to design and conduct experiments, analyze data obtained, assess overall results, and make recommendations regarding the outcome of their work.
Students are aware that solutions to technical problems have wide ranging effects on society.
They can demonstrate the ability to incorporate consideration of such effects into their solutions. Students can demonstrate the ability to function as an integral member of a multi-disciplinary team.
