Graduate School Bulletin

Chemical Engineering

The Chemical and Molecular Engineering program, in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, offers graduate work leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.

The primary mission of the graduate program is to train the next generation of chemical engineers who will drive important discoveries, develop new technologies, and apply innovative approaches to solve challenges in drug productions, food processing, chemicals manufacturing, fuel development, and other industries. 

Our Chemical and Molecular Engineering program offers students a comprehensive curriculum, providing opportunities for advanced study and a deep understanding of chemical engineering theory and its applications across various engineering domains. These include catalysis, nanotechnology, computational modeling, environmental science, fluid mechanics, rheology, materials processing, polymers, thin films, biochemical engineering, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, separations, transport phenomena, and thermodynamics. 

The guiding philosophy of our graduate program is to equip students with a broad spectrum of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experimental techniques. This ensures that graduates possess the skills necessary for professional research and teaching roles in the chemical engineering field.

Our faculty members in the Chemical and Molecular Engineering program are actively engaged in research across diverse areas. They collaborate closely with graduate students on projects that blend both applied and fundamental aspects of chemical engineering.
