Chemical engineers develop, design, and operate different kinds of manufacturing processes, applying the principles of chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, and engineering to solve issues in a wide variety of industrial fields efficiently, cost effectively, and in an environmentally friendly way.
About the program
The challenging four-year program integrates courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and chemical engineering, and provides a balanced education between theory and practice.
Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the conversion of raw materials to useful products by applying the principles of science and engineering. It involves the design, operation, and maintenance of facilities ranging from refineries, petrochemical, pharmaceutical plants, and nuclear-waste processing plants, through to food and materials facilities.
Chemical engineers develop, design, and operate different kinds of manufacturing processes, applying the principles of chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, and engineering to solve issues in a wide variety of industrial fields efficiently, cost effectively, and in an environmentally friendly way.
This program is accredited by the Ministry of Education in the UAE and ABET.

Testimonials
The ADU experience is about so much more than just studying."
"Chemical Engineering was the perfect fit for me as I had loved chemistry, math and lab work since high school. I had a few universities to choose from but ADU came highly recommended by a family member who had also studied there. I made the right choice.
The ADU experience is about so much more than just studying. You get the highest standards of academic support and technical knowledge – the teaching and lab facilities are amazing - but you also get to have a social life! The flexibility of the class and exam schedules, combined with the support and advice you receive from the professors and staff, contribute hugely to this."

Program educational objectives and student outcomes
Program Educational Objectives
The following program objectives are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments, which should be achieved few years following our students’ graduation. In general, our graduates are expected to:
Efficiently operate, design, develop and/or evaluate a chemical engineering system/component in a safe, economically feasible, and environmentally responsible way.
Demonstrate their success as chemical and process engineers with a good set of technical, problem solving, and leadership accomplishments.
Contribute to the development and growth of the economy locally and abroad and uphold their ethical, social, and professional responsibilities.
Develop themselves professionally by engaging to life-long learning activities such as training and continuing education or follow graduate studies.
Student Outcomes
The following program outcomes describe competencies and skills that our students acquire by the time of graduation. Our graduates are expected to be able to:
Identify, formulate, and solve complex chemical engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
Apply chemical 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.
Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in chemical engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
Function effectively in a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
Develop and conduct appropriate chemical engineering experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
Tuition fees structure & calculation
Tuition is based upon the College and/or Department classification as opposed to the course classification or level. Tuition rates for undergraduate students vary from the tuition rates for graduate students.
Tuition is based upon the College and/or Department classification as opposed to the course classification or level. Tuition rates for undergraduate students vary from the tuition rates for graduate students.
The tuition fee calculations are an example only and are based on the assumption that elective courses will be taken with the College that the student is taking their major with. However, if the student selects elective courses outside of this College, the total cost payable may increase or decrease to reflect the tuition rate of the College where the elective is delivered.
Costs of books and supplies are not included in the Tuition and Fees. Students at Abu Dhabi University are also required to pay certain fees and other costs to attend the University. Abu Dhabi University reserves the right to change tuition and fee rates at any time. A tuition schedule is published prior to registration for each semester.
