Program Educational Objectives

Three to six years after graduation, graduates who choose to practice in Chemical Engineering should:

Successfully practice the profession of Chemical Engineering;
Demonstrate successful career growth

Chemical Engineering Program Outcomes

During the course of study in Chemical Engineering, the student should demonstrate:

an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors;
an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts;
an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions;
an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Approved Electives

See CEAS Advising Center for a current list of approved technical electives

Transfer Coursework: All Wyoming Community College equivalent courses will be evaluated for acceptance into the CHE program. For upper-division coursework, no more than two CHE 3000+ courses can be transferred and applied to the CHE degree, however, CHE 4070 - Process Design I and CHE 4080 - Process Design II cannot be transferred to UW.

In addition, all CHE transfer courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better.

The upper-division rules may be waived for classes taken during Study Abroad and National Student Exchange Programs with pre-approval.
