The Chemical & Materials Engineering Department offers an undergraduate program leading to a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree. Chemical engineering applies the principles of the physical sciences, economics, and human relations to research, design, build, and supervise facilities that convert raw materials into useful products and services.
The majority of chemical engineers are involved in the chemical process industries that produce many of the materials and items needed in everyday life. These include medicine, food, fertilizers, plastics, synthetic fibers, petroleum, petrochemicals, ceramics, and pulp and paper products. A chemical engineer may pursue a professional career in many other fields, such as energy conversion, pollution control, medical research, and materials development in aerospace and electronic industries. Chemical engineers are employed in research, development, design, production, sales, consulting, and management positions. They are also found in government and academia. Many use a chemical engineering education as a pathway to law, medicine, or corporate management.
The curriculum in chemical engineering serves as basic training for positions in these diverse areas of the manufacturing industry or for graduate study leading to advanced degrees. The first part of the chemical engineering curriculum provides a firm foundation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. The chemistry background is stressed. The second part of the curriculum offers a balance between classroom and laboratory experience in stressing chemical engineering topics such as transport phenomena, thermodynamics, kinetics and reactor design, separation processes, fluid flow and heat transfer operations, process control, and process design. The development of design tools, communication, and interpersonal skills is integrated throughout the curriculum. The curriculum allows minors in emerging technologies such as bioengineering, environmental engineering and materials engineering. Those interested in attending medical/dental school can pursue a premed preparation as part of their curriculum.
The educational objectives of the chemical engineering program graduates are:
- Chemical Engineering graduates have successful careers in the chemical process industry with the skills necessary to have opportunities to work in non-traditional industries and positions.
- Chemcial Engineering graduates are successful at prestigious graduate, medical, and law schools.
- Chemical Engineering graduates are committed to performing ethically while serving their professions, companies, and communities.
- Chemical Engineering graduates exhibit strong critical thinking skills from the breadth of their general education and the depth of their foundation in engineering principles, and engage in continuous intellectual and personal growth.
