DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING (CME)

VISION OF CME

To be a world first class programme for the training and graduation of competent, innovative and skilled Chemical Engineers whose positive impact will be felt by the immediate and remote communities.

MISSION OF CME

To provide and promote high quality education and training to qualified and admitted students into Chemical Engineering programme. To set standards for first class learning leading to outcome based education that can contribute immensely to the technological and economic development in the 21st Century. To produce modern high-tech Chemical Engineers for the analysis and determination of solution to problems for both national and global development.

PHILOSOPHY OF CME

To admit, train and produce Chemical Engineering graduates who are highly skilled, flexible, innovative and well-versed in practical applications of engineering science to provide solution to problems regarding the design, manufacture, operation, maintenance and optimization of chemical and process plants. To this end, the programme seek to equip graduates such that they will have strong foundations in both theory and practical applications, as well as an understanding of the ethical and social responsibilities of Engineers. They will be prepared to take on challenging roles in the industry and government, making a positive impact on the world through their work.

CME PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEOs)

It is expected that our graduates will achieve one or more of the following PEOs within the first three (3) to five (5) years of their graduation from our programmes:

PEO	DESCRIPTION
PEO 1	Demonstrate excellent Engineering knowledge and high profile skills to design, build, operate, and maintain process plants.
PEO 2	Engage in teamwork to enhance interpersonal skills and professional development.
PEO 3	Exhibit professionalism in a culturally diverse environment.
PEO 4	Engage in lifelong learning with skills in research and knowledge acquisition geared towards solving societal engineering problems in a sustainable manner.
PEO 5	Demonstrate technical, managerial, and financial skills necessary for entrepreneurship.
