Department Mission Statement
The Chemical Engineering Faculty are responsible for equipping our graduates
with the broad technical knowledge and teamwork skills required for them to
make substantial contributions to society.
Program Objectives 
The Chemical Engineering Dept. has four goals for its students:
- Our graduates will be successful in chemical engineering careers requiring strong communication, teamwork, and scientific and engineering skills.
- Our graduates will continue to upgrade their technological skills through life-long learning involving self- or group-study.
- Our graduates will be able to recognize their work’s global, societal, and ethical impact on their surroundings, and act appropriately.
- Our graduates will be able to conduct or evaluate research and development, including application of findings.
To help students reach these goals, the curriculum is structured that they
progress through sequences in the fundamental physical sciences, humanities,
engineering sciences, and design.
Since chemical engineers have the responsibility for translating the results
of chemical research into products for the marketplace, and for preventing the
wastes generated by industry from contaminating the environment the physical
sciences sequence includes a strong emphasis on chemistry with courses in
analytical inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. All the courses emphasize
modern theories of chemistry and are designed to enable students to gain a clearer
understanding of their eventual assignments in engineering science and design.
As students progress to courses in engineering science and design, problems of a
textbook nature give way to real-world examples. By senior year, students are
involved in comprehensive design projects.
