This program pursues dual goals: establishing a comprehensive yet solid foundation in core chemical engineering principles while enabling specialized exploration in a chosen research field. The foundational objective is achieved through a structured curriculum of mandatory and optional courses, covering essential topics like transport phenomena, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, and engineering mathematics, alongside electives targeting specialized research domains. The specialized research component is fulfilled through the MS thesis, which mirrors the PhD dissertation's focus on original, independent investigation but with a narrower scope. The research process concludes with an oral defense of the completed written thesis.
