My teaching philosophy

The education of our students, both undergraduate and graduate, is the reason Notre Dame exists. In CBE, we believe that a broad, fundamental education is the best way to serve our undergraduate students. The primary vehicle for graduate education is a small number of specialized courses and in depth, thesis research. We also believe undergraduate students benefit from conducting research, as they learn and create cutting edge technology.

Students who have graduated from our department have pursued, successfully, a wide range of career paths. We believe that this has resulted from the interests of students who enter our program and is facilitated by our emphasis on fundamental aspects of chemical engineering.

Our program seeks to develop students who:

1. Pursue knowledge and commensurate understanding and critically evaluate the consequences of these.

2. Communicate clearly and effectively.

3. Demonstrate proficiency in the art and science of chemical engineering with a strong understanding of the fundamental principles of pure and engineering sciences on which chemical engineering practice is based.

4. Appreciate their social and moral responsibilities both within their careers in engineering and through service in their communities.

5. Understand how chemical engineering connects with other major disciplines to produce the goods and services needed by society.
