The undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum has been designed to provide the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary for a sustainable and innovative chemical process development and design. It covers the core chemical engineering subjects such as thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and unit operations. CHE students are also exposed to computational tools and simulation such as MATLAB and ASPEN Plus. At the senior year, students learn advance design subjects such as process control, process design economics and flexible technical electives of their choice to give them the breadth of the profession.
The undergraduate program Bachelor of Science (BS) in “Chemical Engineering” is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (https://www.abet.org).
The undergraduate program of Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemical Engineering is designed to graduate students who are expected to attain (within a few years) of graduation the following PEOs:
The Chemical Engineering (BS) students by the time of graduation will have the ability to:
