The objective of the B.S. Chemical Engineering program at UNR is to prepare students to enter into responsible chemical engineering positions in industry, government, and academe and to excel in the profession.

Many of our students go directly into industry, and some go on to graduate school.  We intend to prepare them for either career track, and we intend to develop in our students not just the technical foundations of the field but also a commitment to professional development through life-long learning and critical thinking.  In support of this objective, we have developed three detailed program objectives:

• Our graduates will be successful in their professional careers, as demonstrated by their abilities to solve important chemical engineering problems, to solve problems in areas different from their training, and to develop new and valuable ideas.
• Our graduates will be aware of the larger context of the application of their engineering, including global, ethical, environmental, societal, and legal concerns.
• Our graduates will have the communication and problem-solving skills necessary to succeed individually, in group, and in leadership positions.
