Chemical engineers are taught to link chemistry and engineering in order to produce substances or products that improve people's lives. Chemical engineers develop techniques and processes to convert raw materials into products such as plastics, food, pharmaceuticals, petroleum products and other consumer goods while maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk and environmental impact.<br><br>Student Outcomes<br><br>Students in the UH Chemical Engineering Program are expected to attain:<br><br> an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics<br> 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<br> an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences<br> 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<br> 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<br> an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
