Master of Chemical Engineering in Minneapolis United States | University of Minnesota Twin Cities

The Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (CEMS) Department conducts research centered on advancing renewable energy solutions, addressing critical biomedical engineering problems, creating innovative materials, and employing complex computational models. Graduate coursework encompasses fundamental chemical engineering subjects (fluid dynamics, applied mathematics including linear/nonlinear analysis, transport phenomena, chemical and statistical thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, and reactor analysis) along with essential materials science topics (material structures and symmetry, thermodynamic/kinetic principles, electronic characteristics, and mechanical behaviors of materials). Specialized electives include biochemical engineering, biotransport phenomena, food engineering, colloidal systems, mass transfer principles in engineering/biological systems, rheology, coating technologies, process automation, computational methods using finite element analysis, ceramic/polymer sciences, materials development and evaluation, manufacturing processes, degradation mechanisms, polymer chemistry fundamentals, polymer characterization labs, material contact/fracture mechanics, electron microscopy techniques, thin film and interface science, composite materials, electrochemical systems, polymer physical chemistry, solid-state reaction dynamics, electronic material structures, organic material applications, electronic ceramics, defect and interface physics, thin film deposition methods, and porous media science. The professional Master of Chemical Engineering (M.Ch.E.) caters to working professionals pursuing part-time graduate studies, featuring a design component. Alternatively, part-time students may opt for the coursework-only M.S.Ch.E. Plan C option.
