Chemical engineering is a major that opens the way for many career opportunities. As the name implies, chemical engineers must build a foundation on engineering, science, and math while specializing in the application of chemistry to engineering systems. This is a versatile major that also encourages students to take courses from the other engineering disciplines as well as the biological sciences.

The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering program objectives are to produce well-rounded graduates who, after entering the chemical engineering practice, will progress to leadership roles by:

• Applying the knowledge, principles, and skills of chemical engineering to the solution of complex engineering problems;

• Practicing safety, sustainability, and ethics throughout their professional careers;

• Communicating effectively and working collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams;

• Pursuing life-long learning through continued education, professional registration, and participation in professional organizations.
