The majority of products produced in the chemical process industries either include particles or are made through the agency of particles. Despite the ubiquity of particles and particle processes, undergraduate engineering programs typically fail to address the unique issues introduced by the particle phase. By design, this program provides this important skill set and knowledge base, valued by industry but generally unavailable in one place or with such singular focus.Particle technology spans multiple length scales and requires knowledge and skills that cut across the boundaries of traditional academic disciplines. Interactions at the molecular length scale result in material properties at the particle length scale which in turn impact performance of processing units or particle-based products at the macroscopic length scale. Training in this field will enable students to communicate and collaborate across the chemical, mechanical and civil engineering disciplines as well as with chemists, physicists and materials scientists.Approved unanimously by Faculty Senate on February 6, 2016, the Graduate Certificate in Particle Technology is offered by the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. The certificate is designed for engineering professionals working in the process industries and/or for undergraduate or graduate engineers desiring to expand their knowledge of particle technology. The objective is to equip professionals with the knowledge and ability to meet the expectations of employers in the processing industry with respect to particle technology expertise. Completion of the certificate requirements are noted on the student's graduate transcript and a certificate is awarded and signed by the Director of the Graduate Certificate in Particle Technology, the Chair of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and the Associate Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Education.
