Chemical Engineering

About the Program

The graduate program in the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department integrates current chemical engineering science with the growing fields of engineering applications and processes. In emphasizing engineering design, as well as scientific analysis. The department intends to develop broadly educated individuals who are knowledgeable in modern theories, cognizant of the behavior of engineering systems, and aware of current mathematical and engineering tools that are useful for the solution of problems in complex processes and systems, especially those in the fields of chemical, environmental, biochemical, and materials process engineering. Areas of particular strength include biological engineering, energy and the environment, multiscale modeling and process systems engineering, and polymer science and engineering.

Programs are arranged to meet the needs and interests of individual students. The plan of study is initially formulated in consultation with the departmental graduate advisor and subsequently guided by the thesis advisor.

Graduates have pursued a variety of careers, ranging from faculty positions in academia to research and development in industry, in the U.S. and overseas.
