  • Course description
    The chemical engineering masters program offers a unique opportunity for an individual to broaden and enhance his or her undergraduate training with concentrated study in a specialized area of research.

    This program should be of value to two kinds of students-those seeking a "traditional" graduate program and those seeking an "industrial" program. The "traditional" program is based on full-time, resident graduate activity. The "industrial" program can be beneficial to students employed in nearby industries or to those who want to alternate periods of full-time graduate work and full-time work in industry.

    Areas of specialization include emulsification, surfactant-based, adsorption-based and chromatographic separations, fermentation technology, distillation control, environmental science and technology, petroleum engineering, thermodynamics, process synthesis and design, applied intelligent systems and process optimization, polymers, molecular simulations, porous materials, process control.
