MEng in Chemical Engineering - Medical and Industrial Biotechnology in Ithaca United States | Cornell University

The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in chemical engineering enhances your technical expertise to deliver industry impact. Typically, the program emphasizes industrial applications and design while blending interdisciplinary knowledge. M.Eng. candidates can tailor their coursework to align with their professional aspirations. This program is ideal for those seeking hands-on careers in chemical and biomolecular engineering. Students are encouraged to engage in studies and research that deepen their understanding of fundamental and applied sciences while fostering innovation and problem-solving skills. The thesis or dissertation may cover research or specialized projects in areas like design, economics, or mathematical analysis. No language proficiency is required for chemical engineering majors.

The Medical and Industrial Biotechnology (MIB) Focus Path equips engineering and life sciences students for roles in biotech sectors such as pharmaceutical production, diagnostics, tissue culture, agriculture, and novel food/energy solutions. The curriculum centers on two key courses—Bioprocess Engineering (CHEME 5430) and Systems Biology in Biotechnology and Medicine (CHEME 5440)—plus an independent M.Eng. project involving essential biotech lab techniques like DNA manipulation, cell culture, protein synthesis, separation processes, and bioreactor development.
