Chemical Engineering (MS)

M.S. Degree

The requirements are:

1. The core courses:
   1. Math core: Mathematical methods in chemical engineering (CHEN E4010 MATH METHODS IN CHEMICAL ENGIN),
   2. Transport core: Transport phenomena, III (CHEN E4110 MECHANISMS OF TRANSPORT) or Transport in fluid mixtures (CHEN E4112 TRANSPORT IN FLUID MIXTURES),
   3. Kinetics core: Advanced chemical kinetics (CHEN E4130 ADV CHEM ENGI THERMODYNAMICS) or Surface reactions and kinetics (CHEN E4235 SURFACE REACTIONS ＆ KINETICS), and
   4. Thermo core: Advanced chemical engineering thermodynamics (CHEN E4130 ADV CHEM ENGI THERMODYNAMICS) or Statistical mechanics (CHAP E4120 STATISTICAL MECHANICS AND COMP METHODS); and
2. 18 points of 4000-level or higher courses, approved by the graduate coordinator or research adviser, of which up to 6 may be Master’s research (CHEN E9400 MASTERS RESEARCH). Students with undergraduate preparation in physics, chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, and related fields may enroll in the scientist-to-engineer (S2E) program that leads to the master’s degree in chemical engineering. This program requires an extra 6 credits associated with two mandatory Essentials classes (CHEN E4001 ESSENTIALS OF CHEM ENGIN A and CHEN E4002 ESSENTIALS OF CHEM ENGIN B) that are used to ease the transition into chemical engineering.
