OBJECTIVES | OUTCOMES
Educational objectives broadly state how the program will meet the needs of its constituents, while at the same time being specific enough to differentiate the program from other programs. Chemical engineering at WMU has defined its constituents to be the program's students, faculty, alumni, and employers of the program's graduates. The program also recognizes that it has a larger, less focused constituency, that includes the families of its students and faculty, the University as a whole, and society at large. The program's specific educational objectives are:
- Graduates of the Chemical Engineering Program understand the fundamentals of chemical engineering and can apply these fundamentals to solve problems of importance to their employers.
- Graduates of the Chemical Engineering Program will be ready, willing, and able to accept expected job responsibilities upon employment.
- Graduates of the Chemical Engineering Program actively participate in the development of the chemical engineering profession through contributions to society, life-long learning, and support of the appropriate professional societies.
- The program provides an environment that is conducive for the continued development of the student, both socially and professionally, while in attendance at WMU.
- Students canfunction effectively as both team members and team leaders, understanding the basic dynamics of team behavior, communication, and leadership skills.
- Students display a reasoned understanding of the role of chemical engineering in the global societal environment, including social needs, cultural awareness and sensitivity, environmental sensitivity and complexity, and professional ethics.
