Chemical Engineering Program
Upon successful completion of an undergraduate of Chemical Engineering Program, graduates should be able to:
1. Acquire and apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering fundamentals.
2. Understand and describe the basic elements and concepts of the chemical engineering processes, operations, design and reactions.
3. An understanding of the impact of engineering solutions on society, including safety, environmental -issues, industrial practices, ethics and the role of the professional engineer.
4. Identify, formulate, solve chemical problems using suitable methods and designing chemical engineering systems.
5. Select, applies, and evaluate methods and techniques to solve complex chemical engineering problems and chemical procedures laboratory tests.
6. Analyze and evaluate the chemical systems or processes within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety.
7. Implement a designed industrial process, a component or a system to meet the desired needs and design solutions for complex problems.
8. Use the techniques, equipment, skills, methods and computing tools efficiently (i.e., ASPEN HYSYS, ASPEN PLUS, CHEMCAD packages, chemical calculation methods, materials development) for chemical engineering practice.
9. Use chemical laboratory methods to generate data, analyze experimental results and determine their statistical parameters according with the quality assurance procedures in the field of chemical engineering.
10. Work effectively in individual, teams and play different roles (team leader, process engineer, consultant; manage tasks, projects, time and resources).
11. Communication skills, technical writings, deliver presentations, commit professional ethics, leadership skills and lifelong learning.
