We are a vibrant and collaborative community dedicated to providing students a solid foundation in chemical engineering with hands-on experiences in and out of the classroom. Our undergraduate and graduate programs prepare graduates for rewarding careers in industry, government, and academia.
Our faculty members are studying some of the most pressing problems today in areas that include advanced materials, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and sustainable systems: energy and the environment. We have three research Centers: the National Science Foundation (NSF) Industry University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) Membrane Science, Engineering and Technology Center (MAST), the NSF IUCRC Center for Materials Science and Engineering of Pharmaceutical Products (CIMSEPP), and the Center for Materials for Advanced Energetics. Our faculty members have funding from federal and state agencies, private foundations, and industry.
With an important part of the curriculum focused on experiential learning opportunities, our students participate in research experiences, cooperative education, study abroad, and service-based learning. In addition, our students are actively engaged in professional societies including our AIChE Student Chapter, MRS Student Chapter, and SAMPE.
Please take some time to explore our undergraduate and graduate degree programs, research activities, and faculty.
