The BS degree is a four-year program where students gain a strong grasp on areas such as calculus 和 organic chemistry. Chemical 和 biological engineering students are required to take a total of 128 credit hours.
学生 may choose between two tracks:
- Materials track: This track is suited for students interested in applying their education in chemistry 和 transport theory to developing new materials. This option focuses on polymeric 和 ceramic materials by complementing the 化学工程师ing curriculum with elective courses stressing the interrelationship among materials fabrication, 结构, 属性和性能.
- Pre-med track: This track is offered for students preparing for medical school. Since 化学工程师ing already requires most of the pre-med courses, it is a logical choice for students who desire an engineering degree 和 the opportunity to pursue a medical profession.
The department offers a senior thesis option as well as a 研究 Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) summer program sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
And an additional degree option for 化学工程师ing students:
- Bachelor’s-accelerated master’s: A combined bachelor's (BS) 和 master's (MS) degree is offered for highly motivated undergraduate students. The BAM program allows students to take advanced courses at an accelerated pace, engage in an independent research project 和 obtain both degrees in five years.
