The Chemical Engineering Program's educational objectives state the general goals of the program. Program graduates are expected to:

• practice chemical engineering* in traditional and emerging fields
• be successful at pursuing advanced degrees.
• be motivated to continuously develop their knowledge and skills.
• contribute to society and maintain ties to the university.

Here we define chemical engineering as the discipline that requires a thorough grounding in chemistry and a working knowledge of advanced chemistry; material and energy balances applied to chemical processes; thermodynamics of physical and chemical equilibria; heat, mass and momentum transfer; chemical reaction engineering; continuous and stage-wise separation processes; process dynamics and control; process design and appropriate modern experimental and computing techniques.
