About the Program
Mission:
The Chemical Engineering Department is committed
to quality education that preparesgraduates through a project-based
curriculum with broad basic engineering knowledge to be professionals and to
pursue postgraduate studies and research in Chemical Engineering.
The department is also committed to research
that leads to better solutions to Chemical Engineering related problems with
emphasis on issues of national significance including, energy,
petrochemicals and environmental issues, by working closely with industry
and research centers.
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs):
Within a few years of
graduation, Chemical Engineering graduates are expected to attain the
following program educational objectives:
