该计划的目的是让对化学和生物技术感兴趣的工程专业学生为生物技术或医学领域的研究生学习提供合适的准备，而又不减少他们在传统化学工程领域的职业潜力。学生将有足够的机会通过他们的工程和设计选修课与生物技术研究人员合作。
Chemical Engineering students may choose to specialize in biotechnology. The goal of this program is to allow engineering students with an interest in chemistry and biotechnology to develop suitable preparation for careers or graduate study in biotechnology or the medical fields without reducing their potential for careers in traditional chemical engineering. Students will have ample opportunity to work with researchers in biotechnology through their engineering and design electives.
