School Location
From its inception, the Chemical Engineering Department has focused on applied and fundamental research programs aimed at problems of national interest and need. As such, an active and vital research program has been, and remains, an integral part of the department's mission. Our goal is to maintain strength in areas critical to existing industries while conducting research in new areas vital to emerging technologies.

Research focus has broadened over the years to include environmental research, materials science (including electronic materials, membranes, polymers and colloids), natural gas hydrates, separations technologies, theoretical and applied thermodynamics, theoretical fluid mechanics and rheology, combustion science, and computational methods and atomistic simulation.

Review of our faculty pages will give prospective students more information on many of the research projects being conducted within the department, including:
  • Polymeric and opto-electronic materials
  • Natural gas hydrates
  • Combustion and reaction engineering
  • Fuels and engine research
  • Molecular simulation
  • Surface and interfacial engineering

    Doctor of Philosophy
    The course of study for a doctor of philosophy in chemical engineering requires a minimum of 72 credit hours. It includes 32 hours of coursework beyond the bachelor's degree, including a 12-hour core curriculum, a minimum of 12 hours in a minor discipline outside of chemical engineering and six hours of electives. All Ph.D. students must complete the same core courses as listed for the master of science degree. The program also requires passing a qualifying exam and Ph.D. proposal defense. Students must then complete and defend an acceptable doctoral dissertation.
