Undergraduate Curiculum in Chemical Engineering
Program Educational Objectives
The Chemical Engineering Program prepares students with knowledge and skills so that they can go to work immediately after graduation or continue their education in graduate programs. We expect our graduates, after a certain time (from 3 to 5 years), can achieve the Program educational objectives as follows:
Graduates of the Chemical Engineering program will:
- Be practical, employable and qualified chemical engineers, who are capable of designing, operating, researching, innovation and management in downstream area of oil and gas industry,
- Continue their professional development and become professional managers for enterprises of Vietnam Oil and Gas Group, multinational companies, and/or become scientists for research institutes and universities,
- Keep their education up to date through self-instruction and other training to meet the challenges of the competitive, modern and dynamic workplace.
Student Outcomes
The student outcomes of our Chemical Engineering Program are the same as those required by ABET for any engineering program to receive accreditation. The Chemical Engineering graduates will have:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
- 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;
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
- 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;
- 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;
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions;
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
