Chemical Engineers use chemical processes to find innovative ways of producing goods that improve and protect human health, the environment, and the economy. Chemical Engineers are employed across a wide spectrum of industries from traditional chemicals and petroleum-based products to specialty industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, microelectronics, and alternative energy. Chemical engineers also work in energy management, safety, pollution prevention, and waste treatment and disposal.
The curriculum in chemical engineering at SAU includes classroom and laboratory instruction and emphasizes broadly applicable fundamental principles and current technology to prepare graduates for professional practice and professional growth. Students also gain hands-on experience through industry internships that often lead to employment after graduation.
The educational objectives of the chemical engineering program are for graduates of the program to have careers characterized by:
- success in chemical engineering practice, postgraduate education, or other areas’ making use of engineering skills.
- demonstrated success in the formulation and solution of chemical engineering problems.
- ethical behavior in all endeavors.
- demonstrated effectiveness in teamwork, communication, and service to community.
- demonstrated technical and/or managerial leadership.
- demonstrated commitment to lifelong learning.
Learning Goals
