Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

The Chemical Engineering Program seeks to prepare graduates who, after the first few years of their graduation, have:

Established themselves either as practicing chemical engineers, or by gaining additional formal education through enrollment in either an engineering or business graduate school program.

Adapted to ever-changing demands by updating their core knowledge and abilities through on-the-job training and continuing education courses.

Functioned successfully in their professional responsibilities, which includes safety, health, environmental, and ethical aspects.

Established themselves as critical, flexible thinkers with demonstrated potential as future technology experts or technology managers in their profession and in society.

Student Outcomes of the Chemical Engineering Program

The graduates of the Chemical Engineering program will have:
