Curriculum

Our chemical engineering undergraduate program is designed to provide a robust foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of the discipline. Students are required to take a diverse array of courses, including lecture-based classes that cover fundamental topics like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and reaction engineering. These lectures are complemented by lab courses, where students gain hands-on experience with experimental techniques and data analysis, reinforcing the principles learned in lectures. Recitations often accompany core classes, offering students the opportunity to delve deeper into problem-solving and clarify complex concepts in a more interactive setting. Additionally, the curriculum typically includes opportunities for undergraduate research, allowing students to explore specific areas of interest, contribute to ongoing projects, and develop critical thinking and analytical skills. The program culminates in a capstone project, where students apply their accumulated knowledge to design and optimize chemical processes or develop innovative solutions to real-world engineering challenges. This structure ensures that graduates are well-prepared to tackle the multifaceted problems they will encounter in their careers, blending theoretical understanding with practical application to produce versatile and competent engineers.
