Program Outcomes

Page 1 | Page 2

Program Outcome 1 - Fundamentals (a, b)

Gain the broad spectrum of fundamental knowledge in basic mathematical, physical, chemical and biological sciences that is required in engineering problem solving. This includes proficiency in calculus, physics and in chemical and life sciences.

Program Outcome 2 - Analysis (b, e)

Identify, define, analyze and solve practical, complex, chemical engineering problems. Students will be able to perform mass and energy balances in steady-state and time-dependent systems and will develop the skill to reduce and redefine a complex problem into terms that can lead to a useful solution.

Program Outcome 3 - Design (c, j, k)

Learn the principles of process and equipment design. Students will be able to perform design calculations from a preliminary stage to full-scale plant design, and to conduct an economic evaluation of process plants.

Program Outcome 4 - Society & Environment (f, h)

Incorporate, environmental, ethical and other societal concerns in addition to the technological issues in problem solving. Students will develop a sense of personal and professional responsibility, awareness of the societal and natural environment in which engineering decisions are made and implemented, and appreciation for human diversity and the global environment.

Program Outcome 5 - Work Skills (d, g, i)

Function as part of working teams, be proficient in oral and written communications, and continue to learn throughout professional lives.
