The mission of the chemical engineering program is to educate 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.

As the program educational objectives, graduates of the Stevens Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering are expected to:

Apply mathematics, science and maturity of experience to lead in the solution of complex problems in chemical engineering.
Demonstrate broad-based skills and understanding of problem solving, ethics, social awareness, safety, communication, teamwork and leadership to excel as recognized leaders in their profession.

To accomplish this, the undergraduate program provides a balanced education in fundamental principles, design methodologies, and practical experiences in chemical engineering, general engineering, and physical and mathematical sciences topics through which graduates can enter and sustain lifelong professional careers of engineering innovation and creativity.

Graduates of the chemical engineering program will:

Be recognized as innovative technical experts who demonstrate advanced understandings of the state-of-the-art in chemical engineering, as well as their professional, social, and ethical responsibilities.
Emerge as technical leaders through their own individual contributions and their abilities to work with and influence others.
Function as effective entrepreneurs who nurture innovative technologies from concept to commercialization.

Qualified undergraduates may work with faculty on research projects. Many of our graduates pursue advanced study in chemical engineering, bioengineering or biomedical engineering, medicine, law, and many other fields.

Students Outcomes

By the time of graduation, chemical engineering students will have:

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