The mission of the Department of Chemical Engineering is to provide fundamental knowledge and contemporary skills for the development, economic design, and safe operation of chemical processes in a manner compatible with societal values.
Program Education Objectives
Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering take coursework in advanced chemistry, thermodynamics, fluids, heat, and mass transfer, numerical methods, separation processes, reacting systems, instrumentation, control, and plant design. Students must also satisfactorily complete a design project as part of their program. Students seeking the Biotechnology/Biomedical Certificate are also required to take additional courses in general biology, microbiology, and biochemistry. Chemical Engineering Students must maintain a GPA of 2.0 in required departmental courses. Therefore, it is imperative that the students retain close contact with their advisor.
Students completing this program normally initiate their careers in manufacturing, environmental, and biological enterprises. Chemical engineers are found in administrative, technical, and research positions in these industries. Main products of these industries are petrochemicals, polymers, fibers, natural and synthetic fuels, electronic materials, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, bio-materials, etc.
Solutions of modern societal and scientific problems often require the use of chemical engineering skills. Chemical Engineering students must have access to an IBM compatible personal computer during their last two years of study. Those who do not own one will be severely disadvantaged.
In addition to the College's graduation requirements, all graduating seniors must take the Chemical Engineering Fundamentals of Engineering Examination.
If a student wishes to transfer without an A.A. degree and has fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the student must meet the University’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements.
Students should complete the following prerequisite courses listed below at the lower level prior to entering the University. If these courses are not taken at the community college, they must be completed before the degree is granted. Unless stated otherwise, a grade of “C” is the minimum acceptable grade.
Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university. The following are transferable courses from the Community College that will be accepted in the Math/Science/Engineering areas:

Humanities & Social Sciences:

The schedule that follows indicates how a diligent student who can devote full time to coursework can satisfy requirements in four academic years. Students without a solid foundation or those who cannot devote full time to academics should plan a slower pace.
