博士 该计划旨在扩大学生的知识体系，更重要的是，发现和发展化学和生物分子工程领域原创，生产性和创造性工作的人才。知识的广度和专业培训是通过高级课程工作实现的。在研究生课程中居住期间，总共必须修读18个单元的字母分级课程。从数学，热力学，反应工程和运输现象领域的五门核心化学工程课程中，至少必须获得9个单元。必须从研究生水平或高等部门选修课程中获得额外的单元，以便选修的单元总数为18。强烈鼓励学生继续学习与论文研究特别相关的其他课程，并探索技术，专业或其他领域。个人爱好。此外，学生还必须参加ChE 375教育
At Berkeley, graduate work in chemical and biomolecular engineering emphasizes the excitement of original research in frontier areas of applied science. Graduate students may pursue a PhD in Chemical Engineering, or they may apply to the Product Development concentration to obtain an MS in Chemical Engineering. While formal courses are necessary to provide scientific fundamentals and intellectual breadth, the primary characteristic of Berkeley's graduate experience is to participate in the quest for new knowledge. Graduate students and faculty collaborate as partners in scholarship, in learning, and in intellectual discovery.<br><br>The PhD program is designed to enlarge the body of knowledge of the student and, more importantly, to discover and develop talent for original, productive, and creative work in chemical and biomolecular engineering. Breadth of knowledge and professional training are achieved through advanced course work. To develop the creative talents of the student, a paramount emphasis in the PhD program is placed on intensive research, a project on which students work closely with one or more members of the faculty.<br><br>PhD students may choose to add a designated emphasis (DE) to their program. A designated emphasis is a specialization, such as a new method of inquiry or an important field of application, which is relevant to two or more existing doctoral degree programs. Designated emphases open to students in this PhD program include Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NSE), Energy Sciences and Technology (DEEST), Communication, Computation and Statistics, Computational and Genomic Biology, and New Media.
