Overview
The Department of Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering (CEME) offers the following undergraduate degrees/programs.
Environmental Engineering:
The Environmental Engineering curriculum provides an integrated educational experience in mathematics, basic sciences, humanities, social sciences, engineering sciences, and environmental engineering design. The first two years of the Environmental Engineering curriculum provide a strong foundation in mathematics, basic sciences, and engineering sciences. The next two years of the four-year program, integrate engineering sciences with design applications.
Design courses emphasize an integrated approach that considers all environmental media in the prevention and control of environmental problems. The curriculum culminates with a major senior-level design project that includes design applications from the major specialty areas of environmental engineering.
Chemical Engineering:
Chemical engineering is a discipline that focuses on discovery, design and manufacturing of wide range of products spanning multiple industrial sectors-chemicals, foods, sustainable energy, consumer goods, pharma, nanotechnology, health and life sciences. The curriculum covers fundamental engineering subjects of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and the sciences-chemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics. Relevant components of other engineering disciplines like materials science, computer science, and biomedical, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering also are integrated into the curriculum, The discipline sits at an unique interface between molecular sciences and engineering. Chemical engineers find employment in industry, government, consulting and education.
The BS in Chemical Engineering is a unique and modern undergraduate program that builds upon the strong fundamental multidisciplinary nature of chemical engineering through combining core chemical engineering fundamentals in thermodynamics, process analysis, fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfer with concentrations in evolving industrial sectors such as sustainable energy, aerosols, nanotechnology, advanced materials, environmental engineering and pre-med.
