Process engineering bridges the gap between research and practical application, focusing on enhancing manufacturing techniques and equipment through technological advancements that align with environmental sustainability. It employs engineering principles and mathematical analysis to study and model operational units and systems, with growing reliance on computational tools in both academic research and industrial applications. Key research areas encompass process dynamics, innovative pulping and bleaching methods, waste stream analysis and treatment, byproduct utilization, and digital simulations of paper manufacturing systems. The well-equipped Walters Hall laboratories and pilot plant benefit from robust campus computing resources. Tailored advanced coursework in engineering, mathematics, and computer science allows students to pursue specialized interests.
