BSChE Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
The ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥al objectives of the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering’s
undergraduate program are that, within a few years of program completion, graduates
will have used the knowledge and skills gained through academic preparation and post-graduation
experience so they have:
PEO 1
Advanced in the chemical engineering profession and applied engineering knowledge
and problem-solving skills to multi-disciplinary projects.
PEO 2
Incorporated economic, ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥, social, regulatory, constructability, safety,
and sustainability considerations into the practice of chemical engineering.
PEO 3
Exhibited effective communication skills, teamwork, leadership, initiative, growth
and innovation, project management, and professional and ethical behavior.
PEO 4
Continued their technical and professional development, which may include graduate
level ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥, continuing ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥, and participation in professional organizations.
BSChE Student Outcomes
Graduates of the Chemical Engineering Program at the University of South ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥ will have:
- 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, ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥, 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, ³ÉÈË¿ì²¥, and societal contexts.
