The Bachelor of Science degree program in the Cain Department of Chemical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the general criteria and the program criteria for Chemical, Biochemical, Biomolecular, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. 

Consistent with the mission of Louisiana State University, our graduates will: 

1. Attain careers as engineering professionals in chemical, energy production, engineering design, biochemical, or related industries. 
2. Succeed in graduate programs in chemical and biomolecular engineering, medicine, business, law, or other scientific/engineering disciplines. 
3. Solve industrially relevant, open-ended engineering problems using appropriate tools and critical thinking capabilities. 
4. Succeed in leadership, management, and research roles in industry, academia, or government. 

The chemical engineering program produces graduates who are prepared to enter the professional practice of chemical engineering with: 

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. 
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, and global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. 
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. 
4. 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.
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. 
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed using appropriate learning strategies.
