Chemical Engineering

The chemical engineering option is designed to educate students who will engage in professional practice at the forefront of chemical engineering or excel graduate school, and, ultimately, become leaders in engineering, science, academia, business, and public service in a continually changing world. It accomplishes this by providing a broad and rigorous training in the fundamentals of chemical engineering while maintaining a balance between classroom lectures and laboratory experience. The program also strives to develop in each student self-reliance, creativity, professional ethics, an appreciation of the societal impact of chemical engineering, and the importance of continuing intellectual growth.
