| Chemical Engineering Program Mission & Objectives | |
“The chemical engineering program educates technological leaders by preparing them for the conception, synthesis, design, testing, scale-up, operation, control and optimization of industrial chemical processes that impact our well being.”
Consistent with this mission statement our program objectives are as follows:
The chemical engineers who complete the Stevens curriculum
- offer approaches to solutions of engineering problems that cut across traditional professional and scientific boundaries (ABET Outcome 1).
- are using modern tools of information technology on a wide range of problems (ABET Outcome 3).
- contribute in a professional and ethical manner to chemical engineering projects in process or product development and design (ABET Outcomes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10).
- are effective team members, team leader and communicator (ABET Outcomes 7, 8, and 9).
- are participating in lifelong learning in a global economy (ABET Outcome 12).
- are aware of health, safety and environmental issues and the role of technology in society (ABET Outcomes 5 and 13).
We expect our students will be employed in commodity chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and consumer products, fuels and electronics industries as well as in government laboratories. We also expect that our students will be attending graduate schools with international reputations in chemical engineering. | Chemical Engineering Program Outcomes | |
Graduates of the Bachelor of Engineering Chemical Engineering Program from Stevens Institute of Technology will:
- (Scientific foundations) Be able to use basic knowledge in physics, mathematics, physical chemistry, and organic chemistry to address chemical engineering problems.
- (Engineering foundations) Be able to analyze chemical engineering systems using principles of material and energy balances, heat, mass and momentum transfer, kinetics and thermodynamics, process control and mathematical modeling.
- (Experimentation) Be able to design and conduct experiments involving reaction and separation of chemicals, heat, mass and momentum transfer and interpret results.
- (Technical design) Be able to use the basic concepts, tools and methods of material and energy balances, kinetics, thermodynamics, separations, reactions, heat, mass and momentum transfer and process control to design chemical engineering units and systems.
- (Design assessment) Be able to develop and assess alternative system designs for chemical engineering systems incorporating considerations such as feasibility, cost, safety, legal/regulatory issues and societal impacts.
- (Tools) Be able to use basic analytical instrumentation, process sensors, process simulators and computer software for applications in process analysis and design as well as oral presentations and report.
- (Professionalism) Be able to recognize and achieve high levels of professionalism in chemical engineering practice.
- (Leadership) Be able to assume leadership roles.
- (Teamwork) Be able to function on teams.
- (Communication) Be able to prepare professional reports and deliver effective presentations.
