CHE 424A & CHE 424AL: Environmental Engineering for ChE
This is a three unit course, which is an extension of Environmental Engineering whose main
thrust is the management and control of industrial waste. This course provides learning activities
that enable the students to comprehend and apply the principles of environmental
engineering related to advanced techniques in wastewater management and air pollution
control. It lets the prospective chemical engineer acquire the knowledge and develop positive
attitude towards the study of the different Environmental Management Programs applied to
industry such as Environmental Impact Assessment.
As a result of their educational experiences at the Chemical Engineering Program,
graduates should be able to:
PLO 1: Solve chemical engineering problems by applying relevant theorems and
principles of mathematics, physical sciences, engineering sciences, and allied courses.
PLO 2: Perform experiments to test relevant parameters related to chemical
engineering and establish significant conclusions based on the correct analysis and
evaluation of collected data.
PLO 3: Describe and illustrate the conversion of raw materials to desired products in
various chemical process industries.
PLO 4: Communicate in oral and in written form with sufficient content, proper
structure, and articulate delivery across a wide range of audience, venues, and media.
PLO 5: Apply acquired technical knowledge and skills in possible fields of employment
namely: Process Engineering, Quality Assurance, Research and Development,
Environmental Engineering and Management, Instrumentation and Design.

PLO 6: Design chemical engineering equipment and processes within realistic

constrains such as economic, environmental, safety and sustainability in accordance
with established laws, codes, and standards.
PLO 7: Incorporate current trends and contemporary issues, and their impacts on the
practice of Chemical Engineering profession.
PLO 8: Research and develop new products and processes, or innovate from existing
materials and technologies.
PLO 9: Contribute chemical engineering solutions to problems in the community
considering social, environmental, and economic dimensions.
PLO 10: Pursue continuing professional development and competence in their chosen
field of specialization.
PLO 11: Collaborate with a team of individuals from a wide range of educational,
cultural, and technical backgrounds.
PLO 12: Exhibit professionalism, ethical behavior, and Christian values in all inter-personal and
social dealings.

10 Course Learning Outcomes As a result of their educational experiences in the subject CHE 513, graduates should be
able to:
CLO 1: Recall the principles of environmental engineering and of traditional wastewater
treatment methods.
CLO 2: Exhibit understanding of the importance of characterizing industrial waste: its
sources and types.
CLO 3: Show proficiency in calculations relating to advanced wastewater treatment
methods.
