The XU Chemical Engineering (XU ChE) graduates, formed and trained through Jesuit liberal education are deeply rooted in the Catholic faith and are persons of competence, conscience, and commitment. Thus, consistent with these goals, the XUChE program is geared towards producing graduates, who, within three to five years from graduation, have:

• (Competence) Become competent ChE professionals, who are proficient in the application of their knowledge and skills in basic sciences and engineering principles in the design, innovation, improvement, supervision and management of chemical engineering processes and systems in the presence of practical constraints to solve real-world technical problems.

• (Competence) Manifested professional growth and career advancement through satisfactory progress towards positions of higher responsibility, completion of an advanced degree, or by successful transition from the "traditional" chemical engineering career path into the allied fields of business, government, academe, etc.

• (Competence, Conscience, Commitment) Worked as effective, conscientious and committed team members or leaders who embody ethical and professional excellence rooted in Jesuit liberal education and Christian humanism. They have equipped with excellent communication and people skills and are actively participating in their community, church and professional organizations.

• (Competence, Conscience, Commitment) Become significant contributors to society by creating chemical engineering designs and solutions that are safe and sustainable. Being men and women for others, the XU ChE graduates discern, decide and do what is right and strive for truth and will seek to support others, especially in the context of widespread poverty in the country.

• (Competence, Commitment) Embraced an active life-long purpose of advancing their expertise by continuing professional education,  attaining advanced degrees or furthering research activities that tackle on critical areas of the chemical engineering field.
