B.S. Chemical Engineering

In the Chemical Engineering program, you will gain a foundational and practical understanding of engineering principles and design, while also learning to apply skills from many disciplines toward solving real-world problems.  To that end, we will encourage you to seek out experiences and mentors on- and off-campus to advance your knowledge of the field by learning at the sides of professional engineers. We view this as critical to jumpstarting your careers.

We specifically aim for our students to meet the following learning outcomes:

• 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 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.
