The MS Chemical Engineering program, offered by the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, provides advanced study of chemical engineering topics with an emphasis on both the fundamental and applied aspects. Elective courses are also available in science, other engineering fields, and business. This broad-based, multi-disciplinary educational program has proven to be an important factor for a student’s future success including leading Silicon Valley companies and in Ph.D. programs.
Faculty are involved in research areas including biochemical engineering, semiconductor processing, green and alternative energy, microfluidics, polymers and nanocomposites, nanotechnology, and environmental health and safety engineering, remediation, sustainability, and computational methods. Research activity is sponsored by local industries as well as by government funding agencies.
The MS Chemical Engineering program welcomes students with undergraduate BS degrees in closely related science (e.g. biology, chemistry, physics) and engineering
disciplines (e.g. biochemical, biomedical, civil, materials, and mechanical).
Class schedules are designed for the convenience of employed engineers who wish to pursue graduate work on a part-time basis as the majority of classes are scheduled during the evening hours.
