The bachelor degree of Chemical and Process Engineering (CHPE) is designed to provide sound undergraduate education in applicable to chemical and process engineering related fields of engineering with an excellent technology base. They engender broad awareness of social, cultural, and ethical issues together with good understanding of the role of engineering in the community. These traits lead to internationally recognized degrees. To be awarded a bachelor degree, a student must successfully complete three semesters of common engineering before entering the Department. The remaining seven semesters are program dependent. Nevertheless, students can choose from a common basket of elective courses offered by the Petroleum and Chemical Engineering Department. To be awarded a bachelor degree in CHPE, a student must successfully complete 136 credits of University, College and Departmental Requirements as shown below in the table.

COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS
Common Courses within the PCE Department:
Engineering Thermodynamics, Fluid Flow, Heat Transfer, Numerical Methods, Statistics for Engineers, Electrical Engineering Fundamentals, Engineering Economy Professional Practice and Management for PCE. The Bachelor degrees are designed to provide undergraduate education in this field of Engineering, with an excellent technology base, and which engenders a broad awareness of social, cultural, and ethical issues together with a good understanding of the role of engineering in the community, and which leads to an internationally recognized degree.
Chemical and Process Engineering Specialization Courses:
General Chemistry II, Organic Chemistry, Materials Engineering, Principles of Chemical Processes, Introduction to Chemical and Instrumental Analysis, Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, Computer Aided Design, Unit Operations I & II, Chemical Engineering Lab I, II and III, Process Heat Transfer, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Chemical Process Control, Chemical Process Safety, Project I & II, , Plant and Process Design. In addition the students select 3 technical electives from the list of major electives provided in the degree plan.
TECHNICAL ELECTIVES
Industrial Training Courses:
Two mandatory Industrial Training courses are also part of the College requirement. In Training I, students get a 2-week in-house training in their third year, during the break between the fall and spring semesters (In the month of January). In the PCE Department, this training is in the form of laboratory projects that are conducted in the chemical engineering laboratories. Training II is planned in the summer after the students complete their fourth year. For a period of 8 weeks, the students receive training from a private company or government ministry related to their specialization. A number of students receive their summer training abroad through collaboration agreements with international parties or through International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE). The student, supervised by the training organization, has to submit a report to his/her program at the end of the training period. The industrial training program is coordinated by the Assistant Dean for Industrial Training and Community Services.
