B.S. in Chemical Engineering
Action-reaction: that’s the formula
Career field
Thanks to the integral education you will receive in chemical engineering degree, on graduating you will be able to work in diverse activities:
- In the industrial sector industrial, as a process engineer in charge of manufacturing chemical products such as drugs, plastics, fertilizers, food additives, petroleum derivatives, among many others.
- In the design and enhancement of productive processes for the chemical industry.
- As the person responsible for environmental and safety aspects in industry
- In the service sector as a consultant for the application of process technologies and specialized chemical products.
- In the areas of innovation and development in companies from the chemical sector.
- B.S. in Chemical Engineering also seeks to empower you as an entrepreneur, creating your own company in the area of chemical products or specialized technical services for the chemical industry.
Is this right for you?
If you want to change the world through innovative initiatives that generate economic, social and environmental value, then B.S. in Chemical Engineering is for you.
The three stages of the model
Choose your path
Exploration
- You will open your competency file and add to it throughout your degree program.
- You will learn the foundations of the area of Engineering - Bioengineering and Chemical Processes.
- You will participate in fundamental and exploration challenges from the area of Engineering - Bioengineering and Chemical Processes, interacting with peers from different degree programs.
- You will study general education courses, selecting them from a collection.
- You will participate in a challenge that integrates all the competencies to be developed in this phase.
Focus
- You will acquire the core competencies of your degree, in other words, those that distinguish it.
- You will participate in more focused challenges to reinforce what you have learned and broaden your basic knowledge.
- You will have the elements to decide whether to deepen your knowledge or diversify and, subsequently, build your specialization plan.
- The Tec Weeks, challenges and overall university experiences will enrich your file.
Specialization
- You have decided between diversifying or focusing deeply in your major, which you will achieve by choosing a concentration or a stay, to name a few of your options. The TEC Semester is a flexible time to start.
- You will develop the competencies related to your specialization, increasingly connected to your passions, interests and plans.
- By passing a concentration, you will develop your competencies, and, on graduating, will be a candidate for obtaining a Diploma in that concentration, after meeting the established requirements.
