The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (BSChE) program holds accreditation from ABET's Engineering Accreditation Commission (visit www.abet.org). To earn the BSChE degree, students must complete at least 120 credit hours, comprising 62 credits in Math & Sciences/Humanities & Social Sciences, 52 engineering credits, a 3-credit engineering elective, and a 3-credit science/engineering elective.
Through elective pathways and faculty guidance, students can focus their studies in three key specializations: (1) Environmental Protection and Hazardous Waste Management, (2) Biotechnology and Medical Applications, and (3) Nanoscale Engineering. Details include:
(1) Environmental Protection and Hazardous Waste Management: Chemical engineers employ chemical processes to extract contaminants from landfills and utilize biological agents/combustion systems to neutralize hazardous materials. They create catalytic converters to transform pollutants into safe substances.
(2) Biotechnology and Medical Applications: Professionals in this field engineer separation systems and bioreactors to manufacture advanced bioproducts including pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals. Their work also advances medical innovations like synthetic organs and implantable devices.
(3) Nanoscale Engineering: Operating at 1-100 nanometer scales, this interdisciplinary field combines engineering, chemistry, biology, and physics. Chemical engineers apply their expertise to produce nanostructures for healthcare, consumer goods, and sustainable energy solutions, while also researching potential environmental effects of nanomaterials.
