In the past decade, the scope of chemical and biomolecular engineering has expanded dramatically. While chemical engineers continue to work in the chemical and petroleum industries, they are just as likely to be employed in biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies, at electronics manufacturing facilities, or in the environmental divisions of corporations or government institutions. In each of the industries, the chemical engineering concepts of transport phenomena, reaction kinetics, and thermodynamics are fundamental.
EPP's Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering program prepares students for success in this field. Students acquire a broad range of skills in the basic sciences and related engineering fields, in addition to advanced training in core chemical and biomolecular engineering competencies. Students have the opportunity to pursue a concentration in biochemical engineering, environmentally conscious processing, or polymer engineering. Highlights include:
