PROGRAM LEVEL
The program comprises a total of 137 credit hours distributed over eight semesters. It is developed to equip students with the necessary tools to fulfill their assignments and responsibilities as chemical engineers. It consists of courses which can be classified into three main categories as follows: General Sciences, Engineering Sciences and General Education. The undergraduate program includes two laboratory courses, namely Chemical Engineering Lab I and Chemical Engineering Lab II. Students conduct experiments in thermodynamics and unit operations involving heat transfer and momentum transfer in Lab I while in Lab II they conduct experiments in reaction engineering, process control, and unit operations involving mass transfer.
The program also includes one period of summer training of two-month duration at the end of the third year. Students are placed in relevant industrial companies to gain additional practical experience. In the second and fourth year, students also undertake junior and senior projects, respectively. Both projects emphasize independent learning and teamwork. Field trips are also arranged in coordination with the relevant industrial companies.

PROGERAM OBJECTIVES
The Chemical Engineering Program expects the graduates within a few years of graduation to attain the following:
Engage in productive careers in a broad range of the chemical engineering profession in both the public and private sectors including, but not limited to, petrochemical, petroleum refining, gas processing and water.
Engage in ongoing professional development activities by pursuing graduate studies and /or other learning opportunities.
Advance in responsibility and leadership in their careers.
PROGRAM INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
a) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
b) 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, environmental, and economic factors.
c) An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
d) 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, environmental, and societal contexts.
e) An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
f) An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
g) An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
