Departmental Mission Statement

UIC Chemical Engineering student"The mission of the Department of Chemical Engineering is to serve society through excellence in education, research, and public service. We provide for our students an education in chemical engineering, and we aspire to instill in them the attitudes, values, and vision that will prepare them for lifetimes of continued learning and leadership in their chosen careers. Through scholarship, the Department strives to generate new knowledge and technology for the benefit of the State of Illinois, the nation, and beyond."

Commitment to Students

(i) Fostering an environment that enables prospective engineers to pursue their goals in a program that is rigorous and challenging, open and supportive

(ii) Providing undergraduates with the broad education necessary for productive employment in the public or private sectors, or to pursue advanced degrees

(iii) Providing undergraduates with a deep understanding of both fundamentals and important current issues in chemical engineering

ABET (http://www.abet.org/ ) - Program Educational Objectives

1. Depth: In engineering practice or advanced study, UIC Chemical Engineering bachelor's degree graduates will be effective in applying fundamental principles, scientific knowledge, rigorous analysis, and creative design.

2. Breadth: Based upon mastery of engineering in a broad, societal context, graduates will have successful careers in the public or private sectors, or in the pursuit of graduate education.

3. Professionalism: Graduates will function effectively in the complex modern work environment with clear communication, responsible teamwork, and high standards of ethics and professionalism.

4. Learning Environment: Based upon a rigorous undergraduate program that is innovative, challenging, open and supportive, graduates will emerge with an appreciation for and effectiveness in life-long learning.
