Chemical Engineering (ChE)

BioPharmaceutical Engineering

Learn how to develop and manufacture medicine. Decide the best method of drug delivery; whether it be capsule, injection, time-release, or a new technology that you create, to best treat a patient.

Courses: BioPharm Science & Engineering, Applied Statistics & Math, Regulatory Science

Electrical Engineering

If you’re interested in Electrical Engineering you can focus in one of two areas:

Electronic Devices – Learn how to make semiconductor devices – How to purify the silicone, develop the best materials to encourage electron flow and create the voltage potential that is vital for thousands of applications of semiconductors. Shrink to the microscopic level and figure out how to make semiconductors even smaller for newer technologies such as computers on a chip.

Process Controls – Develop the process controls in a process engineering plant. If a compressor must remain at a certain temperature, for example, you can design and implement the devices used to not only measure the temperature, but that recognize that it’s not where it should be and react accordingly to return it to the operating temperature.

Courses: Electrical Circuits, Semiconductor Devices, Electrical Engineering Technical Elective

Environmental Engineering

Develop sustainable practices to ensure chemical engineering processes have the smallest environmental footprint possible, and to clean up past mistakes. Become familiar with the environmental laws and policies that influence environmental decisions.

Courses: Environmental Engineering Technical Electives, Policy/Law/Economics course

Energy Systems Engineering

Be a part of the solution to our energy crisis by improving the efficiency and efficacy of traditional energy sources and developing reliable and sustainable alternative energy sources.

Courses: Energy Systems Technical Electives, Policy/Law course

Materials Science and Engineering

Develop new materials that can be used in various novel applications such as alternative energies, medical devices, or consumer products.

Courses: Materials Science & Engineering Technical Electives

Petroleum and Gas Exploration

While sustainable energy avenues are being explored there is still a need for fossil fuels for transportation and other needs. We need engineers who can find them and remove them from the earth with the smallest environmental impact.

Courses: Earth Course, Civil & Environmental Engineering Course

Life Sciences

Go into the business of saving lives. Medicine is waiting for chemical engineers who know the fundamental sciences and how they apply to patient care – Prepare for medical school and research in medicine and biomedical engineering.

Courses: Biochemistry, Technical Electives in Biology &/or Biomedical or Chemical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

If you work as a process engineer in a plant, you’ll do a better job if you can not only design and operate the equipment, but also communicate with those who are building that equipment and understand the forces acting upon your equipment and your manufacturing process.

Courses: Solid Mechanics, Dynamics & Vibrations, Mechanical Engineering Technical Electives

Nuclear Engineering

Explore the most complex forms of alternative energy, nuclear energy. While the heart of a nuclear plant is the reactor, typically operated by a nuclear engineer, chemical engineers are needed to manage the process as a whole, maintaining the reactor temperature with cooling water, and then managing the processing of the heated water in those cooling towers you might have seen off the highway. Learn how nuclear energy is processed in a plant and about the reactors that hold this raw energy.

Courses: Fundamentals of Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences (NERS), Elements of NERS I & II, NERS Technical Electives
