The Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemical Engineering will provide a student with the basis to be able to complete the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Chemical Engineering degree. The Master of Engineering degree is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc. Since the M.Eng. program is accredited as part of a five-year program with one-year of co-op experience, it is not typically well-suited for students who have not matriculated through the preceding four years at Speed School. Therefore, almost all students who earn an undergraduate degree at a school or university other than the University of Louisville pursue the M.S. degree instead of the M.Eng. degree.

Graduates will demonstrate: an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering to identify, formulate and solve advanced chemical engineering problems an ability to design and conduct experiments demonstrating chemical engineering principles, as well as to analyze and interpret resulting data an ability to design a system, component, or process relevant to chemical engineering practice to meet desired needs subject to realistic constraints such as economics, environmental compliance and sustainability, health and safety, manufacturability, and social, political, and ethical implications an ability to function on multi-disciplinary or multi-functional teams an ability to identify, formulate, and solve chemical engineering problems an understanding of the professional and ethical responsibility of the practicing chemical engineer an ability to communicate effectively in writing, orally, and via modern computer technology the broad education necessary to understand the impact of chemical engineers and engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning a knowledge of contemporary issues, especially those pertinent to the practice of chemical engineering an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for chemical engineering practice
