Molecular engineering applies molecular science to create advanced devices, processes, and technologies, addressing complex technological challenges. The Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) leads in innovative methods to tackle key societal issues in quantum engineering, biotechnology, immunoengineering, advanced materials, energy storage, and clean water access. The BS in Molecular Engineering provides undergraduates with a modern curriculum grounded in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Major courses enhance quantitative reasoning and problem-solving abilities, introduce engineering analysis of biological, chemical, and physical systems, and explore open-ended technological questions across various fields. The program integrates invention and design with inquiry and discovery as complementary intellectual pursuits, equipping students for leadership in a technology-focused world. Graduates are prepared for traditional engineering roles in research, technology development, and manufacturing, or for advanced studies in engineering, science, medicine, business, or law. Others may apply their engineering training in quantitative and problem-solving skills to careers in consulting, finance, public policy, or entrepreneurship.
