聚合物（或大分子）是长链，可为世界上所有非金属或陶瓷的物质提供基础。在研究它们时，凯斯西储大学的高分子科学与工程系定义了该领域。聚合物科学的本科学位将为您在航空航天，生物医学到包装等众多行业的职业做好准备。或进一步提高您的教育水平。我们将近四分之三的毕业生都获得了高级学位，不仅是工程学，还包括医学，商业和法学。生物材料专业旨在为聚合物专业的学生提供化学，生物学和医学方面的必要背景知识，以进行未来的工作在新兴的生物材料和生物技术领域。实际上，我们的生物材料专业课程将带您进入获得生物医学工程辅修课程的三个课程
In 1970, the department introduced a program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree with a major in Polymer Science and Engineering, which is designed to prepare the student both for employment in polymer-based industry and for graduate education in polymer science. <br><br>The Case School of Engineering is proud that the polymer science and engineering program was the first such undergraduate program in the country to receive accreditation from the Engineering Council for Professional Development. The curriculum combines courses dealing with all aspects of polymer science and engineering with basic courses in chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology, depending on the needs and interests of the student. The student chooses a sequence of technical electives, in consultation with a faculty advisor, allowing a degree of specialization in one particular area of interest, e.g., biomaterials, chemical engineering, biochemistry, or physics. In addition to required formal laboratory courses, students are encouraged to participate in the research activities of the department, both through part-time employment as student laboratory technicians and through the senior project requirement: a one or two semester project that involves the planning and performance of a research project.<br><br>Polymer science undergraduates are also strongly encouraged to seek summer employment in industrial laboratories during at least one of their three years with the department. In addition to the general undergraduate curriculum in Polymer Science and Engineering, the department offers two specialized programs which lead to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a major in Polymer Science and Engineering. The cooperative program contains all the course work required for full-time resident students plus one or two six-month cooperative sessions in polymer-based industry. The company is selected by the student in consultation with his or her advisor, depending on the available opportunities. The dual-degree program allows students to work simultaneously on two baccalaureate level degrees within the university. It generally takes five years to complete the course requirements for each department for the degree. The BS/MS program leads to the simultaneous completion of requirements for both the master's and bachelor's degrees. Students with a minimum GPA of 3.0 may apply for admission to this program in their junior year.
