GRADUATION ATTRIBUTES (GA)
Dear Chemical Engineering students and interested parties, as part of the process of maintaining communication between the academic program and the community of students, faculty, and other stakeholders, the Chemical Engineering Coordination shares the Graduation Attributes of the Chemical Engineering Program (skills that students should demonstrate at the time of graduation).
Graduation attributes are the set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that graduates must possess to practice chemical engineering, integrating their competencies to solve problems and contribute to the economy, the environment, and society.
- GA1. Integrates and applies knowledge of basic sciences, engineering fundamentals, chemical engineering, and process design to solve complex problems in chemical and industrial processes using simulation and calculation, process analysis methodologies, national and international technical standards, energy efficiency criteria, process safety, and sustainable development principles.
- GA2. Identifies, formulates, and analyzes complex problems in chemical engineering based on the integration of basic sciences, engineering fundamentals, applied engineering, and process design to propose viable, innovative, and sustainable solutions in compliance with current regulations.
- GA3. Designs and proposes solutions to complex chemical engineering problems to meet specific needs of the chemical and industrial sector through the generation of viable alternatives, considering life-cycle cost, reduction of environmental impact, and compliance with net-zero carbon strategies in accordance with current regulations.
- GA4. Investigates, experiments, and generates well-founded conclusions regarding complex chemical engineering problems through hypothesis formulation, experimental design and execution, data analysis and interpretation using statistical and computational tools, and validation of results based on technical, economic, regulatory, and environmental impact criteria.
- GA5. Creates, selects, and applies modern tools, techniques, and technologies of chemical engineering, including appropriate information technologies, modeling, and simulation to analyze and solve complex engineering problems, recognizing their scope and limitations.
- GA6. Solves complex chemical engineering problems considering the analysis and evaluation of the Sustainable Development Goals in chemical and industrial processes based on current regulations in the areas of safety, industrial hygiene, and environmental protection, assessing their impact on the economy and society.
- GA7. Applies ethical principles of chemical engineering practice in compliance with national and international standards, demonstrating inclusive and respectful behavior that promotes collaborative and equitable working environments.
