Graduate Academic Programs

The graduate faculty of chemical engineering offer courses leading to the Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) Master of Engineering (M.E.)  and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)  degrees.

Program Goals

The objective of the master’s programs is to prepare the student for professional work in chemical engineering at a more advanced level than the bachelor’s degree or for further study leading to the Ph.D. degree. The principal objectives of the Ph.D. program are to provide students with an opportunity to reach a critical understanding of basic scientific and engineering principles underlying their fields of interest and to cultivate their ability to apply these principles creatively through advanced methods of analysis, research, and synthesis. The Ph.D. is awarded primarily on the basis of research.

Program Learning Outcomes

Master of Science in Engineering. Graduates of the thesis-based M.S.E. program should be able to:

  • Demonstrate a more advanced understanding in chemical engineering fundamentals compared to holders of bachelor’s degrees;
  • Display the ability to conduct research in a field of specialization within chemical engineering and effectively communicate their findings orally and in writing to a technically literate audience; and
  • Illustrate ethical awareness of responsible conduct of research.

Master of Engineering. Graduates of the non-thesis M.E. program should be able to:

  • Demonstrate a more advanced understanding in chemical engineering fundamentals compared to holders of bachelor’s degrees;
  • Display the ability to perform and communicate an independent study in a field of specialization within chemical engineering; and
  • Illustrate ethical awareness.

Doctor of Philosophy. Graduates of the Ph.D. program should be able to:

  • Demonstrate a critical understanding of scientific and engineering principles underlying the student’s fields of interest;
  • Apply scientific and engineering principles creatively through advanced methods of analysis, research, and synthesis, and effectively communicate their findings orally and in writing to a technically literate audience; and
  • Illustrate ethical awareness of responsible conduct of research.
