ABET Accreditation
The chemical engineering program is accredited by ABET and meets the curriculum
requirements specified by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
Graduates must demonstrate:
- a thorough grounding in chemistry including organic and
physical and a working knowledge of advanced chemistry such
as inorganic, analytical, materials chemistry, polymer
science or biochemistry.
- a working knowledge of material and energy balances,
thermodynamics, heat, mass, and momentum transfer,
chemical reaction engineering, separation processes,
process dynamics and control, and process economics and
design.
Graduates must be able to:
- Relate chemical structure to material properties.
- Apply first principles in order to analyze and solve
chemical engineering problems including comprehensive,
open-ended design problems.
- Develop experiments from proposed hypotheses and
interpret data.
- Pose and develop practical solutions to chemical
engineering problems which include the limitations of
environmental, safety, and ethical constraints.
- Design and select optimal processes for chemical
production.
- Select and use computational tools (spreadsheets,
numerical methods, process simulators) to design,
analyze, and solve chemical engineering problems.
- Work effectively in teams.
- Write and speak effectively in a technical setting
- Independently assimilate new concepts to facilitate
life-long learning.
