Program in Chemical Engineering

The Chemical Engineering graduate program at WPI aims to prepare students for exciting, important careers in research, industry, and academia through hands-on, creative research and funded projects—with real-world applications. Research areas include nanotechnology/nanomaterials, environmental engineering, energy research, bioengineering, process control and safety, and reaction engineering. Working with you, one-on-one, will be highly respected research faculty and staff, in a collegial, tight-knit environment that stays on the cutting edge of chemical engineering.

The program leading to an MS in chemical engineering is designed to provide a broad coursework base in advanced topics in chemical engineering, and to train the student in conducting advanced research in a specialized area. Graduates of the program should be equally capable of doing industrial or governmental research and design and in proceeding on to a PhD program.

A total of 30 credit hours is required, including 18 credit hours of coursework and at least 12 credit hours of thesis work. The coursework must include 15 credit hours of graduate-level chemical engineering courses, and nine of these must be chosen from the core curriculum.
