ABET Accreditation
The Chemical Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, www.abet.org.
Mission & Objectives
The Chemical Engineering Program has affiliated faculty from the Department of Chemical and Nano Engineering, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and the Department of Bioengineering. The curricula at both the undergraduate and graduate levels are designed to support and foster chemical engineering as a profession that interfaces engineering and all aspects of basic sciences (physics, chemistry, and biology).
The Program Educational Objectives of the Chemical Engineering Program are:
To produce chemical engineering alumni who, a few years after completing the program:
- Will be employed in a wide range of industrial, professional, and academic environments using their strong technical chemical engineering education and communication skills.
- Work with a strong sense of humanistic values and professionalism such that they can conduct themselves ethically and knowledgeably regarding technological impact in societal issues.
- Work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams to solve complex problems that may require different approaches and viewpoints.
- Will continue their personal improvement and multidisciplinary development, enabling them to respond to rapidly changing technological environments throughout their career.
The curriculum is designed to prepare chemical engineering graduates for further education and personal development through their entire professional career. We strive to accomplish these goals by providing a rigorous and demanding curriculum that incorporates lectures, discussions, laboratory and project development experiences in basic sciences, mathematics, engineering sciences, and design as well as the humanities and social sciences.
