Accreditation

The ABET accreditation process, a voluntary, non-governmental process of peer review, helps assure quality in educational programs. ABET-accredited educational programs must meet certain defined standards. 

The Chemical Engineering (BS) degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET under the Commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Chemical, Biochemical, Biomolecular and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Department Vision

A leading program recognized for sustained excellence in education, research, and innovation, with strong global engagement in chemical, biochemical, and biomedical engineering fields.

Department Mission

The Doshi Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering will prepare chemical, biochemical, and biomedical engineers for successful careers as leaders and innovators in their field while:

  • Expanding the engineering knowledge base through experiential learning and scholarly pursuits;
  • Developing technology to serve societal needs;
  • Benefiting the public welfare through service to the profession.
