Master of Chemical Engineering

The department of Chemical Engineering offers its graduate students access to numerous educational and professional resources. The linked pages provide information on many of these resources and links to many other important sites.

The Master of Chemical Engineering (MChE) is a coursework-only degree signifying that the recipient has learned fundamental chemical engineering principles forming the foundation of analysis. The Master of Chemical Engineering program produces skilled engineers having a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of chemical engineering as well as a broader set of professional skills and/or exposure to other technical disciplines. This training is designed to meet the growing need of the process industries for chemical engineers with deeper technical backgrounds. Thus the MChE graduate makes use of a deeper and more flexible toolkit of knowledge when confronted with engineering problems. Students take four of the graduate core courses and one other graduate chemical engineering course toward this end. The degree requirements include electives that allow students to take several Breadth/Depth/Skill courses to complement the core knowledge. These electives are essentially free electives so the student can study alternative topics such as business, finance, entrepreneurship, or take more science or engineering.
