Chemical engineers design products that improve our everyday lives by converting raw materials into useful goods. Our curriculum equips students for careers not just in conventional chemical and petroleum sectors, but also in emerging fields. Mastery in food production, biotechnology, drug development, and electronics fabrication is gained through coursework covering material/energy equilibrium, thermal/mass transfer, fluid dynamics, chemical kinetics, system regulation, and related industrial processes.
Nanotechnology - Operating at the 1-100 nanometer scale, nanotechnology spans multiple disciplines including engineering, chemistry, biology, and physics. Chemical engineers apply their expertise in chemical principles, advanced math, and industrial methods to produce nanoscale materials, components, and systems for medical, commercial, nutritional, and power applications. Researchers are simultaneously investigating the potential health risks and ecological effects of nanomaterials.
