Program Learning Outcomes for BSChE in Chemical Engineering Students graduating from this program will be able to: Solve chemical engineering problems by applying knowledge of mathematics, science and computing and using analytic techniques, computer simulation and modern engineering tools essential to chemical engineering practices. Design and conduct experiments, and analyze and interpret data. Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. Function effectively in team environments, including multidisciplinary projects. Communicate engineering and related concepts effectively in writing and orally. Demonstrate understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. Demonstrate understanding of contemporary, global, and societal issues encountered in engineering practices and the impact that engineering has on these issues. Appreciate the need for and be able to engage in life-long learning. Degree Requirements for BSChE in Chemical Engineering For general university requirements, see Graduation Requirements. The program leading to the BS degree in Chemical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Through careful selection of other engineering and science courses, a student can develop a focus (or concentration) area in any of the following five engineering disciplines: biotechnology/bioengineering, environmental engineering, materials science/engineering, sustainability and energy engineering and computational engineering. These elective programs can be completed within the framework of a BS in chemical engineering. Students majoring in chemical engineering must complete 95–100 hours in the courses specified below for a minimum of 132 hours at graduation. The undergraduate curriculum is designed so that outstanding students interested in careers in research and teaching may enter graduate school after earning either bachelor’s degree. Engineering Breadth and Focus Area Options To complete their technical education, Rice students seeking a BS degree in chemical engineering take course electives in at least two other engineering disciplines to satisfy a “breadth” requirement. Alternatively, students can use their electives to create a focus (or concentration) area in one of the following five disciplines: biotechnology/bioengineering computational engineering environmental engineering materials science/engineering sustainability and energy engineering Consult our department web page for a detailed list of courses that can be used to satisfy the engineering breadth or focus area requirements.
