Program Objectives & Outcomes
A program educational objective is a description of the characteristics of some, most or all of the graduates from an engineering degree program at a time of approximately three to six years following graduation. Program educational objectives are consistent with the mission of the institution. Our curriculum and associated processes are planned and organized to assure that these objectives can be achieved. Processes include the means to develop, deliver, evaluate, and improve the curriculum.
Chemical Engineering Program Educational Objectives & Outcomes
Three to six years after graduation, graduates who choose to practice in Chemical Engineering should:
Possess a working knowledge of mathematics, science and chemical engineering fundamentals, and have the ability to integrate these disciplines to function as competent chemical engineers
Be capable of applying these skills to the complete spectrum of chemical engineering practice, including process synthesis, design and analysis, product development and marketing
Employ interpersonal skills, including proficiency in communication and the ability to contribute to a team, to effectively practice chemical engineering
Exercise sensitivity to the human value of their work, including ethical practices that address health, safety, environmental, economic and societal issues
Possess commitment to personal development and life-long learning
Program Outcomes
A program outcome is a skill, understanding, knowledge, or other characteristic of the graduates from an engineering program at the time of graduation. An outcome is demonstrated and assessed within the academic program. Chemical Engineering Program Outcomes
During the course of study in Chemical Engineering, the student should:
Identify, formulate, and solve chemical engineering problems using their knowledge of mathematics, science, chemical engineering fundamentals, computational tools, and economic analyses
Design, conduct, and analyze chemical engineering experiments
Apply communication, interpersonal, and technical skills to be effective members of multidisciplinary teams and cultures, and recognize that these professional skills can only be maintained and developed through life-long learning
Demonstrate an awareness of and sensitivity to the responsibilities of the profession, the social context of the work, and other contemporary issues in chemical engineering
