化学工程专业的理学学士学位课程（BSChE）获得了ABET工程认证委员会的认可。寻求BSChE学位的学生必须完成至少120个学分。其中包括数学与科学/人文社会科学的62个学分，工程学的52个学分，工程选修课的3个学分以及科学/工程选修课的3个学分。<br>化学工程系，通过选修课程和咨询与一名教师顾问一起，使学生有机会将他们的研究重点放在以下领域：（i）环境保护和危险废物处理，（ii）生物技术和生物医学，以及（iii）纳米技术。说明如下。环境保护和危险废物处理：化学工程师使用化学技术从垃圾填埋场中浸出有害化
The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (BSChE) degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. Students seeking the BSChE degree must complete a minimum of 120 credits. This includes 62 credits in Math & Sciences/Humanities & Social Sciences, 52 credits in Engineering, an Engineering Elective (3 credits), and a Science/Engineering elective course (3 credits). <br>We, through elective sequences and consultation with a faculty advisor, give students the opportunity to concentrate their studies in the following areas: (i) Environmental Protection and Hazardous Waste Treatment, (ii) Biotechnology and Biomedicine, and (iii) Nanotechnology. Descriptions follow:<br>(i) Environmental Protection and Hazardous Waste Treatment: Chemical engineers use chemical techniques to leach hazardous chemicals from landfills and use microorganisms and combustion technology to destroy hazardous waste. They develop catalytic reaction devices to convert air and water pollutants to harmless compounds.<br>(ii) Biotechnology and Biomedicine: Chemical engineers design and develop separation processes and bioreactors to produce complex bioproducts such as therapeutic drugs and agricultural biochemicals. They also make important contributions in the development of artificial organs, artificial tissues and prostheses.<br>(iii) Nanotechnology: Nanotechnology, with sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nanometres, includes the application of fields as diverse as engineering, chemistry, biology, physics, etc. Chemical engineers use their knowledge of chemistry, mathematics, and processing to manufacture nanomaterials, devices, and other structures, for applications in medicine, consumer products, food and energy. Scientists and engineers are also studying the toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials.
