School of Science and Engineering: Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
2008-2009 Academic Year

The department offers great flexibility in the choice of technical/engineering
electives. This flexibility provides the student with significant exposure to
technical and business fields that are distinct from chemical engineering, but that
help develop complementary skills very useful to a chemical engineer's career
goals. This is done by developing a "concentrations-oriented" sequence of
technical electives in biomolecular engineering, environmental studies, or
materials engineering. Students who wish to obtain advanced degrees in chemical
engineering may also take introductory level graduate courses to enhance
preparation for graduate school. Students who do not wish to specialize in the
concentration-oriented technical elective sequence have a wide variety of courses
from which to choose their technical electives.
