The curriculum stresses conservation principles with emphasis on the application of fundamental tools in the analysis, design, and economic evaluation of chemical, biochemical, petroleum refining, and waste (environmental) management process systems. The program is flexible, providing exposure to materials science, energy, and environmental engineering. The curriculum meets professional and accreditation requirements. Numerous scholarships and research assistantships are available. Upon graduation, an individual may select professional employment or advanced study in chemical engineering. A 2.0 GPA in the major field is required for graduation.
