Program in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

Chemical engineers are vital to the petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, bioengineering, consumer and paper products, ceramics, specialty chemicals and electronics industries, just to name a few. Chemical engineers are often intimately involved in research and development, process engineering and product development, as well as in developing ways to manufacture chemicals developed in the laboratory at larger scales. The William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering has a long history of excellence in both undergraduate and graduate education. Our graduate program provides opportunities for intensive course work, research and teaching experience, and our 95 graduate students are in high demand in both industry and academia. In addition, with more than 40 different courses ranging from surface phenomenon to thermodynamics, our undergraduates are well prepared for a wide variety of career pathways.

Our research program offers a solid foundation in both the theoretical and applied aspects of chemical engineering. We offer outstanding research programs in many cutting-edge technology areas, and the department is home to several consortia and interdisciplinary research centers. The Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering occupies more than 60,000 square feet of space and houses state-of-the-art research facilities.
