Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineers apply the basic principles of chemistry, physics and mathematics to the safe, efficient and environmentally benign development of useful industrial processes and products such as petroleum refining, materials processing, materials recycling, plastics, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, paints, electronic components and biotechnology.
Upon graduation, chemical engineering majors are prepared for positions in the operation, development, design, construction and management of industrial plants in industries that subject raw materials to chemical and physical changes to produce desirable products, as well as positions in research institutions and government. Students are also well-prepared for graduate and professional school.
The bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineers combine biology, medicine and engineering principles to develop
novel approaches to solve complex problems in medical care, and help design the
next generation of medical equipment.
Upon graduation, biomedical engineering majors can look forward to careers in healthcare, research organizations and manufacturing operations. Students are also well-prepared for graduate and professional school.
