About Chemical Engineering (bs) in Stanford University

Chemical engineers are responsible for the conception and design of processes for the purpose of production, transformation, and transportation of materials. This activity begins with experimentation in the laboratory and is followed by implementation of the technology in full-scale production. The mission of the undergraduate program in Chemical Engineering is to develop students' understanding of the core scientific, mathematical, and engineering principles that serve as the foundation underlying these technological processes. The program's core mission is reflected in its curriculum which is built on a foundation in the sciences of chemistry, physics, and biology. Course work includes the study of applied mathematics, material and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, energy and mass transfer, separations technologies, chemical reaction kinetics and reactor design, and process design. The program provides students with excellent preparation for careers in the corporate sector and government, or for graduate study.

Learning outcomes are used in evaluating students and the undergraduate program.  The department expects undergraduate majors in the program to be able to demonstrate the following:

1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.

2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.

3. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.

4. an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.

5. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.

6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.

7. an ability to communicate effectively.

8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.

9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.

10. a knowledge of contemporary issues.

11. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
