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.

According to Forbes, chemical engineering was the highest paying job in 2016.  Graduate Chemical Engineers are in high demand throughout the world, with roles including operation of plants, troubleshooting manufacturing processes, designing plant layouts, evaluating equipment and processes, and research to develop new and improved manufacturing processes. 

Our students have taken up internships in a wide range of companies, including Altaweela Power and Desalination Complex, Corodex Wastewater Treatment, Abu Dhabi Ports, ADCO, ADGAS, Al Masaood Oil & Gas, Arab Geotech Laboratories, Bureau Veritas, Gulf Laboratory, Masdar Institute, Schlumberger, Union Chemicals Factory, Worley Parsons, and others.
