Master of Science
Requirements
These requirements are in addition to University and School of Engineering MS requirements.
1. The following are required courses:
- CH546 Chemical Reactor Analysis II
- CH560 Advanced Transport Phenomena
- CH561 Chemical Engineering Analysis
- CH571 Advanced Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
2. Two (2) additional three (3) credit-hour graduate courses selected in consultation with the student's advisor.
3. Two (2) credit-hours of CH610 (Seminar). While in residence, all students are required to attend seminar, whether they are registered for CH610 or not.
4. Ten (10) credit-hours of CH611 Thesis. All students are expected to start their thesis research at the beginning of their first semester in residence.
5. The M.S. thesis must be orally presented and defended before a committee of three or more faculty members, at least two of whom are from the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department.
Typical Schedule for Student with B.S. Chemists and Physicists
A program is available for qualified B.S. chemists and physicists that will permit them to earn an M.S. in Chemical Engineering in four semesters. During the course of study, the student will take almost all the required courses in the chemical engineering undergraduate curriculum, as well as the chemical engineering graduate level courses required for the M.S. program.
