Program objectives & Student outcomes

We expect students in the chemical and biomedical engineering program to acheive each of the seven outcomes during their undergraduate careers. Program objectives are longer-term goals associated with graduate success.

student outcomes

During the course of study in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, students should demonstrate:

  1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specificied needs with consideration fo public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors.
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts.
  5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose memebers together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions.
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

educational objectives

Three to six years after graduation, graduates who choose to practice in chemical engineering should:

  • (CHE-OB1) Successfully practice the profession of chemical engineering.
  • (CHE-OB2) Demonstrate successful career advancement and growth.
