Cleaner fuels. Safer cars. Better pharmaceuticals. Those are just some of the things our chemical engineers and materials scientists work on. Explore our academic programs and learn more about our research.
In addition to majors in chemical engineering and materials science and engineering, we offer a number of interdisciplinary minors in growing engineering industries.
We offer an M.S. and Ph.D. in chemical engineering and materials science and engineering. Research and teaching assistantships are available for qualified students.
Our growing department has research expertise in a range of areas relating to chemical and materials engineering. Recent faculty hires have expanded our departmental expertise in areas such as high-performance computing, advanced manufacturing and renewable energy.
Our research-active department has funding from agencies including the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Undergraduate research opportunities are a key part of our curriculum, and graduate students work closely with faculty to develop independent research.
