BSE Major
If you are curious about the process of turning raw materials into products like plastics, paints, fuels, fibers, medicines, fertilizers, and semiconductors, the Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemical Engineering degree program at Geneva College is for you! Those called to the field of chemical engineering learn to use their talents to steward the specialized knowledge of chemical processes across multiple industries. Over 85% of Geneva’s chemical engineering majors participate in hands-on internships to gain real-world experience. Through an ABET-accredited education founded in a blend of chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and physics courses, you emerge as a skilled, multifaceted graduate.
At Geneva College, our vast engineering programs stand as one of 15 CCCU schools conferred the prestige of ABET accreditation
Through a combination of comprehensive engineering courses, project-based learning, and networking, our alumni secure engineering jobs at companies including Aerotech to Leidos
Assisting over 80 companies since its inception, Geneva’s Pinkerton Center for Technology Development (PCTD) connects students and faculty to industrial and governmental clients. This unique development center allows students to research, develop, and design projects for their community.
Handle air-sensitive materials, experiment with electromagnetics, calculate heat within reactions, and more in this hands-on class.
Familiarize yourself with the units and methods used in designing chemical processes.
Learn what to look for when choosing and designing reactors based on the reactions being conducted.
Gain familiarity with the equipment and techniques needed to carry out a variety of chemical processes.
Geneva's Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Engineering, General Engineering, Engineering Physics, and Engineering Science.
Engineering students at Geneva earn a BSE degree built around a core engineering curriculum that provides students with broad exposure to the field. Students will also choose a specific concentration by working with an advisor to decide which engineering discipline is right for them.
We recognize that our students and graduates make choices and commitments that we do not control. Nevertheless, we state our objectives on the assumption that our graduates stay in the engineering profession and make the choices and commitments that we encourage.
Objectives: Within five years of graduation, graduates of Geneva College’s Engineering program will:
Be employed in the engineering profession and, with experience, assume increasing levels of responsibility.
Obtain professional certifications and/or advanced degrees appropriate to their career path.
Upon successful completion of the engineering program, graduates will have achieved the following outcomes:
Through networking and critical hands-on learning, over 85% of juniors studying chemical engineering find a valuable internship within their field before they graduate from Geneva. Equipped with your bachelor of chemical engineering degree, you can make waves of change in industries that represent biotechnology, construction, energy and fuels, healthcare, manufacturing, or pharmaceuticals. Whichever path you choose, each component of your education prepares you for success.
