Program Description
Get hands-on chemical engineering training in world-class labs that replicate common industrial processes and practice working with industrial grade equipment and process units. In this program, you’ll gain an in-depth knowledge of unit operation, process control and equipment design while you learn to operate, troubleshoot, maintain, and design safe processing units and plants. In addition, our industry-trained instructors will teach you design calculations, process simulation and control, industry safety and environmental engineering. You will also learn to work with engineering software that will give you an edge to jump-start your career. Through the capstone project, you’ll advance your skills further to prepare you for a career in process engineering, water treatment and other chemical industries. Chemical engineering technology is a broad discipline and the skills learned provide the potential to have a career in various industries. You can choose to start your career right away as a chemical technologist, an environmental technician, a process engineering technologist or a process designer. Or you can to continue your studies through transfer options to universities. Your Career
Graduates find work as engineering design assistants, production operators, technologists, technical sales, environmental field technicians and production technologists. Career opportunities exist in engineering design, computer-based process simulation, technical sales, field operations and environmental work. Student Success
