Degree candidates are expected to pursue study and research that will give them a deeper comprehension of the basic and applied sciences and will develop initiative, originality, and creative ability. The thesis or dissertation may involve either research or special projects in such subjects as design, economics, or mathematical analysis. There is no language requirement for students majoring in chemical engineering.
12 credits in chemical engineering courses. Courses can be selected in chemical engineering fundamentals, such as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and reaction kinetics, and in chemical engineering applications, including biotechnology, microchemical systems, energy, sustainability, drug delivery, polymers, and others. In addition, 3 to 6 credits are required in an individual or group project carried out under the mentorship of a faculty member. The project can be tailored to match a student’s technical interests and career goals.
Most applicants have satisfactorily completed the equivalent of the fundamental work required by an accredited curriculum in chemical engineering. Outstanding students with undergraduate majors in chemistry, materials science, microbiology, or physics are also encouraged to apply. For such students extra semester or summer term of residence is normally required. All applicants are required to submit GRE general test scores.
