CHEME-BS - Chemical Engineering (BS)

Chemical engineers are responsible for the conception and design of processes for producing, transforming, and transporting materials. This activity begins with experimentation in the laboratory and is followed by implementing the technology in full-scale production. The undergraduate program in Chemical Engineering aims to develop students’ understanding of the core scientific, mathematical, and engineering principles that serve as the foundation underlying these technological processes. The program’s core mission is reflected in its curriculum, which is built on a foundation in the sciences of chemistry, physics, and biology. Coursework includes the study of applied mathematics, material and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, energy and mass transfer, separations technologies, chemical reaction kinetics and reactor design, and process design. The program provides students with excellent preparation for careers in the corporate sector and government or for graduate study.
