ABET Accreditation

The Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science offers three undergraduate majors accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org/.

1. Biochemical Engineering
2. Chemical Engineering
3. Chemical Engineering/Materials Science dual major (this major is not accredited by ABET)
4. Materials Science and Engineering
5. Electronic Materials Engineering

Biochemical Engineering

Program Educational Objectives

The objectives of the Biochemical Engineering program at the University of California at Davis are:

1. to prepare graduates for employment in a professional field related to biochemical engineering, or another area of their choosing that utilizes their skills as identified in the Biochemical Engineering student outcomes, and/or admission into graduate or professional programs of study.
2. to graduate biochemical engineers who contribute to their profession and society through engineering practice, research and development, teaching and/or education, or in governmental, regulatory or legal aspects.

Student Outcomes

Upon graduation, we expect our students to have:

1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
3. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
4. an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams
5. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
7. an ability to communicate effectively
8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
10. a knowledge of contemporary issues
11. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
