Master of Science in Chemical Engineering

The program is focused on the advanced understanding of the fundamentals of chemical engineering, including thermodynamics, kinetics and transport phenomena. Students are provided additional exposure to the fields of research in the department, including materials and polymer processing, biotechnologies, membrane technologies, pharmaceutical engineering and materials for energy. Graduates will be prepared for leadership roles as chemical engineers or engineering managers supervising both existing and emerging processes in industry. They will also be well equipped for advancing their career in research and development.

Learning Outcomes: 

• An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
• An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
• An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
• An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
• An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
• An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
