Process engineering bridges the gap between research and practical application, focusing on designing, operating, and enhancing manufacturing techniques and machinery while promoting technological advancements that align with environmental sustainability. It employs engineering principles and mathematical analysis to study unit operations and system dynamics, with growing reliance on computational tools for both research and industrial applications. Key research areas encompass process control, innovative pulping and bleaching techniques, wastewater analysis and treatment, byproduct utilization, and digital modeling of paper production 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.
