The Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering dedicates itself to delivering an advanced, high-caliber education in core chemical and biomedical engineering concepts. At its heart, chemical engineering explores multicomponent, multiphase systems across molecular and macroscopic scales, with special focus on chemical transformation processes. Building on this foundation, the biomedical engineering program concentrates on cellular and biochemical changes in both natural and artificial systems. Faculty and students collaborate on pioneering research addressing society's pressing needs, while equipping learners with contemporary analytical, experimental, and computational methods for academic and professional success.
Our department aspires to become a nationally recognized center for excellence in chemical and biomedical engineering education, fostering continuous learning and maintaining research leadership in emerging engineering fields. Achieving this requires meeting the evolving needs of key stakeholders: students, industry partners, alumni, faculty, academic institutions, local communities, ABET, and professional organizations. Chemical engineering involves creating, implementing, and managing processes that induce chemical, biological, or physical material transformations. Professionals in this field analyze, design, optimize, and oversee chemical processes across research, pilot projects, and industrial applications. Career opportunities span diverse sectors including inorganic chemicals (acids, fertilizers), organic compounds (pharmaceuticals, polymers), biological products (vaccines, biofuels), and advanced materials (biomaterials, ceramics). Chemical engineering graduates enjoy remarkable versatility, with career paths in production, operations, R&D, or further studies in medicine, law, or various engineering and scientific disciplines.
