We are currently recruiting several more full-time faculty for Fall 1998. The department offers an ABET-accredited B.S. in Chemical Engineering. Students graduate in five years, during which time they complete a mandatory co-op work experience. All classes are taught by faculty who remain accessible to students to answer questions and assist with problems that students are having in understanding new material and difficult concepts. Students can complete a regular program, or may tailor their curriculum to provide a specialization in either the polymers or the environmental area.
Faculty members are respected experts in their chosen area of specialization.
Students can participate in the ongoing research activities during all levels of their college career. As participants in the research activities, our students enjoy the opportunity to attend professional research conference to present their results. Six of the department's faculty have won outstanding teaching awards, either at the college or university level. We pride ourselves on a history of excellent teaching in the chemical engineering department. All courses in the department are taught by faculty members, not by teaching assistants or graduate students.
