Chemical Engineering is a broad field encompassing everything from design to large scale manufacturing of a wide variety of products through chemical and biochemical processes. These products include pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, petrochemicals, fine chemicals, specialty chemicals, microelectronic devices, polymers, and products used in food processing and in biotechnology. Our alumni are employed in diverse fields including traditional and alternative/renewable energy, manufacturing, health care, biotechnology and business services. Our chemical engineering curriculum builds upon the fundamentals of biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. In this, undergraduate students complete a program of study that includes rigorous instruction in fluid mechanics, heat and mass transport, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, and chemical process dynamics and control. In addition, our curriculum also includes elements that clearly set us apart from other programs. In addition to contributing toward achieving the educational objectives described in the CSM Graduate Profile and the ABET Accreditation Criteria, the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department at CSM has established 3 program educational objectives for all of its graduates and one additional objective specifically for its Chemical and Biochemical Engineering graduates. Our graduates within 3 to 5 years of completing their degree will: be in graduate school or in the workforce utilizing their education in chemical engineering fundamentals be applying their knowledge of and skills in engineering fundamentals in conventional areas of chemical engineering and in contemporary and growing fields have demonstrated both their commitment to continuing to develop personally and professionally and an appreciation for the ethical and social responsibilities associated with being an engineer and a world citizen Additionally, our Chemical and Biochemical Engineering graduates within 3 to 5 years of completing their degree will be applying their knowledge of and skills in biochemical engineering fundamentals.
