ABET accreditation for this program is only valid in North Campus.

The Chemical Engineering program, in accordance with its constituencies, has developed a set of Program Educational Objectives (PEO’s). These objectives were originally generated in consultation with faculty members and from discussions with alumni and employers. Afterwards, they were validated by the Engineering Advisory Committee. Chemical Engineering graduates are expected to attain the following PEO’s within a few years from graduation:

  • They have a comprehensive education that enables them to perform and serve excellently in managerial positions in operations, maintenance, services, and/or management in national and international companies.
  • They have a positive impact on society by getting involved in the design, construction, start-up, and/or maintenance of equipment, processes, and/or industrial plants.
  • They apply engineering criteria to solve problems in various contexts (technological, financial, management, etc.).
  • They perform as project leaders, applying ethical and sustainability principles.
  • They contribute to the development of individuals and society through the creation and consolidation of new companies and business.
  • They pursue continuing education and graduate studies in areas related to chemical engineering.
  • They work and communicate effectively and interdisciplinarity with other areas of their organization to set goals, plan tasks, and achieve objectives.
