Vision: The department's primary objective is the education of undergraduate students so that, upon graduation, they are prepared to take responsible entry-level positions in a wide range of industries. These include not only the traditional chemical and petroleum processing but also such "things" as biotechnology, consumer products, electronic materials, energy, food, polymers, pulp & paper, and the environment. They may be engaged in research, teaching, development, manufacturing, technical support, marketing, sales or project engineering and frequently enter engineering management later in their careers.
Mission: The mission of the Department of Chemical and Petrochemicals Engineering is to prepare students for professional practice, graduate study, and lifelong learning, and to advance the scientific and technological basis for chemical and petrochemicals engineering practice.
