The undergraduate and graduate programs of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science have been training top-quality graduates for over 75 years. Graduates from the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science are highly sought after to create solutions for important technological and societal problems. The faculty is dedicated to strong classroom instruction and world-class research focused in the areas of energy and sustainability, advanced materials and nanotechnology, and biotechnology and bioengineering. The Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science offers two Bachelor of Science degree programs, one in chemical engineering and one in materials science and engineering. Students learn to convert low-value raw materials into high-value products. Students learn how to analyze and understand different processes and how, at the macroscopic and molecular levels, these processes result in different properties in the final product. Emphasis is placed on developing students who understand the technical aspects of production, the environmental, economic, and societal impact of engineering, and who possess a desire for lifelong learning and growth. Optional concentrations are available for students to focus their programs of study on areas of particular interest.
