Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering

The mission of the chemical engineering program is to educate students who are highly sought after by employers internationally, excel in graduate and professional schools, engage in life-long learning, and make significant contributions to the profession and society. The department will promote and support integrated teaching/learning, scholarship and the Marianist tradition of community, leadership and service.

• Chemical Engineering graduates succeed in their chosen vocation, with successful careers in the chemical process industry and related fields, and excel in graduate school.
• Chemical Engineering graduates are committed to performing ethically while serving their professions, companies, and communities.
• Chemical Engineering graduates exhibit strong critical thinking skills from the breadth of their general education and the depth of their foundation in engineering principles, and engage in continuous intellectual and personal growth.
• Chemical Engineering graduates are committed to the Marianist tradition of community, leadership, and service.

By graduation, chemical engineering students at the University of Dayton will have demonstrated an ability to:

• Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
• Apply 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 engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts;
• Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
• Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions; and
• Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
