Emphasis - Chemical Engineering

Description

A degree of M.S. in engineering science with an emphasis in chemical engineering prepares graduates to apply chemical engineering science (transport phenomena, thermodynamics, chemical reaction engineering, and applied mathematics. It enables them to independently execute complex projects and pursue successful careers in engineering, medicine, law, professional education, public policy, the military, management, and sales.

Course Requirements

The M.S. in engineering science with an emphasis in chemical engineering requires a minimum of 30 hours of graduate credit. The specific coursework is agreed upon by the student and his or her committee, but must include at least two of the following courses:

Students pursuing the thesis option will also complete additional 500-/600- level courses to bring the total up to 21 hours of graded course work, plus 3 hours of Research Seminar (Ch E 515). In addition, students must complete no less than 6 hours of thesis (Engr 697) credit.

Students pursuing the nonthesis option require at least 27 hours of 500-/600-level graded course work, plus 3 hours or more of a project (Engr 693 and Engr 694).
