Engineering - Chemical-Engineering

The mission of the Chemical Engineering (ChE) program is to empower our students with a rigorous foundation in chemical engineering principles, fostering creativity, professionalism, leadership qualities and ethical practices to design sustainable solutions that address critical local and global challenges and advance the wellbeing of societies. Graduates will be qualified to pursue successful careers in their profession or in graduate studies in different areas.

The educational objectives of the Chemical Engineering (ChE) program are determined to support career advancement of the graduates and as they pursue their career goals. Graduates are intended:

1. To be effective in problem-solving strategies for a wide variety of technical processes, to meet the needs of the local and international chemical industries.
2. To contribute successfully in careers in different professional areas including industry, academia, government and research.
3. To act adequately in a new work environment with professional responsibility and leadership roles.

UPON COMPLETION OF THE PROGRAM, GRADUATES SHALL HAVE:

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2. 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
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
   
4. 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
5. 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
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

The undergraduate curriculum for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering consists of 150 credit-hours of course work + IC3 + 30 credits transferred from Lebanese Baccalaureate or equivalent.

Chemical engineers bridge sciences and manufacturing by applying the principles of science and engineering, to solve problems involving modification of raw materials into required products in a variety of industries including oil and gas; mineral industry, pharmaceuticals; energy; water treatment; food and drink; plastics and toiletries.

The Student’s Study Plan is given to every student upon his/her enrollment. The CHME curriculum consists of the following components:
