Mission
The Department’s mission aims to transform scientific knowledge into practical solutions that improve quality of life and contribute to the sustainable development of society.

Program Learning Outcomes (PEOs)
To meet the mission of our institution and for our graduates to proficiently practice their profession and stride in Chemical Engineering Industry, our program is designed with the following objectives:

PEO1: Graduates successfully engage in the practice of Chemical Engineering within industry, government, and private practice, working toward sustainable solutions in a wide array of technical area including process improvement and design, process operation, environmental and safety operation.

PEO2: Graduates practice their profession with integrity, professionalisms, ethics, and leaderships, providing sustainable engineering solutions taking into account of global economic, environmental, and societal factors.

PEO3: Graduates work collaboratively with peers, develop lifelong learning skills, successfully pursue professional licensure, and/or pursue advanced studies in Chemical Engineering or other related disciplines, such as business and entrepreneurship.

PEO4: Graduates utilize their professional skills and experiences to contribute to the development of the community and the society.
 
Student Outcomes (SOs)
The student outcomes for the Chemical Engineering Program are listed below.

SO1: An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

SO2: An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.

SO3: An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

SO4: An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.

SO5: An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.

SO6: An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

SO7: An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Research
Research in the department is sponsored by a variety of state and federal agencies, by private industry, and by foundations. Current active research topics includes materials circular economy (Circular economy, bio-based materials, waste utilization), smart materials (self-healing polymer, shape memory polymers, phase change materials), polymer composites and their LCA applications, wastewater treatment and cleaner technology.
