UNDERGRADUATE
PROGRAMS
Chemical
Engineering
A distinguishing feature of chemical
engineers is that they create, design and improve processes and
products that are vital to our society. Today’s high technology
areas of biotechnology, electronic materials processing, ceramics,
plastics and other high-performance materials are generating
opportunities for innovative solutions that may be provided from the
unique background chemical engineers possess. Many activities in
which a chemical engineer participates are ultimately directed
toward improving existing chemical processes, or creating new ones.
Always considered to be one of the
most diverse fields of engineering, chemical engineers are employed
in research and development, design, manufacturing and marketing
activities. Industries served are diverse and include: energy,
petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, agricultural products, polymers
and plastics, materials, semiconductor processing, waste treatment,
environmental monitoring and improvement, and many others. There are
career opportunities in traditional chemical engineering fields like
energy and petrochemicals, but also in biochemical, pharmaceutical,
biomedical, electrochemical, materials, and environmental
engineering.
The chemical engineering program at
Stevens is based on a solid foundation in the areas of chemical
engineering science that are common to all of its branches. Courses
in organic and physical chemistry, polymeric materials, biochemical
engineering, and process control are offered in addition to heat and
mass transfer, separations, process analysis, reactor design and
process and product design. Thus, the chemical engineering graduate
is equipped for the many challenges facing modern engineering
professionals. Chemical engineering courses include significant use
of modern computational tools and computer simulation programs..
Qualified undergraduates may also work with faculty on research
projects. Many of our graduates pursue advanced study in chemical
engineering, bioengineering or biomedical engineering, medicine,
law, and many other fields.

Mission
and Objectives The chemical engineering program
educates technological leaders by preparing them for the conception,
synthesis, design, testing, scale-up, operation, control and
optimization of industrial chemical processes that impact our well
being. Consistent with this mission statement our program objectives
are as follows:
The chemical engineers who complete
the Stevens curriculum:
- offer
approaches to solutions of engineering problems that cut across
traditional professional and scientific boundaries;
- are
using modern tools of information technology on a wide range of
problems;
- contribute in a professional and ethical manner to chemical
engineering projects in process or product development and design;
- are
effective team members, team leaders and communicators;
- are
participating in lifelong learning in the global economy; and
- are
aware of health, safety and environmental issues and the role of
technology in society.
We expect our students will be
employed in commodity chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and consumer
products, fuels, and electronics industries, as well as in
government laboratories. We also expect that our students will be
attending graduate schools with international reputations in
chemical engineering.

Biomedical
Engineering
Mission and
Objectives The Stevens
biomedical engineering program produces graduates who possess a
broad foundation in engineering and liberal arts, combined with a
depth of disciplinary knowledge. This knowledge is mandatory for
success in a biomedical engineering career. Biomedical engineering
is also an enabling step for a career in medicine, dentistry,
business or law.
The objectives of the biomedical
engineering program are to prepare students
to:
- obtain
employment and succeed in careers with companies and government
organizations in the biomedical field, such as those in the areas
of implant and device design and manufacturing, biomaterials,
medical instrumentation, medical imaging, healthcare, oversight
and research;
- utilize their broad-based education to define and solve
complex problems, particularly those related to design, in the
biomedical engineering field and effectively communicate the
results;
- understand and take responsibility for social, ethical and
economic factors related to biomedical engineering and its
application;
- function effectively on and provide leadership to
multidisciplinary teams;
- demonstrate a facility to seek and use knowledge as the
foundation for lifelong learning;
- be
prepared for successful advanced study in biomedical engineering
or entry to graduate professional programs such as medicine,
dentistry, business or law.
