| Chemical
Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge
of mathematics, chemistry, and the other natural
sciences gained by study, experience, and practice
is applied with judgment to develop economic ways
of using materials 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
refineries, the manufacturing of synthetic fibers,
steel, paper, electronic components, plastics,
and pharmaceuticals. Also, he or she may be found
in related areas of design, nuclear energy, and
pollution abatement, as well as management. If
the graduate prefers, he or she is adequately
prepared to pursue additional studies in a graduate
program. |
| 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 128
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. |

Program
Educational Objectives Produce Graduates who: |
| • |
Are
prepared to begin working in an environment
that requires problem solving skills, often
utilizing a team based approach. |
| • |
Can
apply technical knowledge that is fundamental
to the practice of chemical engineering,
using techniques, skills and modern engineering
tools as appropriate |
| • |
Have
strength in the application of modern computational
techniques to the solution of chemical engineering
problems. |
| • |
As
an emphasis, are prepared to function as
a chemical engineer in the traditional chemical
and petroleum process industries, especially
in the Gulf Coast region. |
| • |
Demonstrate
proficiency in written, graphical, and oral
communications. |
| • |
Realize
the importance of the continual development
of knowledge and skills after graduation. |
| • |
Have
an education that prepares them for a productive
and rewarding life, including an appreciation
for professional, business and ethical responsibilities. |
