Research activities in the department include: biomolecular engineering; catalysis,
electrochemical and
reaction engineering; electronic materials; green chemistry and engineering; polymers
and colloids; nanotechnology and interfacial science; thermodynamics and
molecular simulation; and supercritical fluids.
Admissions Requirements: Students admitted to the graduate program
normally have a Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering or its equivalent. Students with
undergraduate degrees in chemistry, physics or other engineering disciplines may be
admitted but will be required to make up undergraduate course work deficiencies in
chemical engineering without graduate credit. The most promising candidates will be
accepted up to the number of spaces available.
Master of Science Degree Requirements: The
M.S. degree requires a minimum of 30 credit hours. A set of four core courses is
required. Two options are provided. In the thesis option, the final thesis must be defended in a final public oral examination. In the non-thesis option, the student must
satisfactorily complete a total of 10 graduate courses.
Master of Chemical Engineering Degree Requirements: The M.Ch.E. degree requires a minimum of 30 credit hours. A set of four core courses is required. A three-credit project is also required.
Doctor of Philosophy Degree Requirements: Students normally take a set of
five core courses, two advanced courses and at least 6 credits of
dissertation research. A thesis is required; this must be defended in a final public oral
examination. In addition, the candidate must: (1) submit and defend an original written
proposition in any area of chemical engineering, and (2) submit and defend a proposal to
perform his/her thesis research.
