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.
