| Chemical
Engineering is a profession in which knowledge
of mathematics, chemistry, and other natural
sciences gained by study, experience, and practice
is applied with judgment to develop economical ways
of using material and energy for the benefit
of mankind. The program required for the degree
of Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering
provides fundamental instruction in mathematics,
chemistry, physics, and engineering. This education
prepares the graduate to seek employment in petroleum, synthetic fibers,
steel, paper, electronic components, plastics,
pharmaceuticals, energy, and
pollution abatement. In addition, the graduate is adequately
prepared to pursue graduate school. |
| Chemical
engineering students are required to take the
Chemical Engineering discipline specific Fundamentals
of Engineering examination of Alabama or another
state prior to graduation. All electives must
be approved by the student’s advisor. Degree
requirements include a minimum of 18 semester
hours of approved electives in the Humanities
and Social Sciences. |
| Satisfactory
completion of the 130 hour program outlined below leads to
a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering.
Students must also comply with the College
of Engineering Requirements for a Degree which
are covered in the Bulletin
under College of Engineering. |
| |
| The Chemical Engineering program's objectives are to produce graduates who during their first few years after college: |
| |
1. |
Can work in an environment that requires problem solving skills, often utilizing a team based approach. |
2. |
Can apply technical knowledge that is fundamental to the practice of chemical engineering, using techniques, skills and modern engineering tools as appropriate. |
| 3. |
Can function especially well as a chemical engineer in the traditional chemical and petroleum process industries. |
| 4. |
Demonstrate proficiency in written, graphical, and oral communications. |
| 5. |
Have continued the development of their knowledge and skills after graduation. |
| 6. |
Appreciate professional, business and ethical responsibilities. |
|

| MASTER
OF SCIENCE IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING |
| A
Master of Science degree in Chemical Engineering
is offered requiring advanced course work in core
areas of chemical engineering: separations,
reactor design, transport phenomena, and thermodynamics. The student
is offered a wide latitude in choosing electives
to build expertise in associated areas such as
computer science, biology, and environmental toxicology. Students
with chemistry backgrounds can qualify for admission
by taking a prescribed series of undergraduate
courses. See degree
requirements. |
