化学工程博士学位

化学工程与材料科学系提供化学工程以及材料科学与工程的理学硕士和哲学博士学位。广泛的课程设置和研究活动使单个课程的设计适合学生的背景，能力和目标。该系的学习可以由工程学院和其他学院的其他系提供的课程加以补充。化学工程和材料科学与工程专业的研究生课程旨在培养毕业生成为工业，政府或学术研究的首席研究员所需的研究专业知识。课程工作旨在扩大学生的工程原理和应用知识。每个学生进行一个广泛的研究项目，可以大大提高对化学工程或材料科学系统的基本了解。研究结果记录在论文，学位论文或研究论文中，以发表在同行评审的期刊上。
The Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science offers Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs in chemical engineering and in materials science and engineering. A wide range of course offerings and research activities allows an individual program to be designed to fit the background, capabilities, and aims of the student. Studies in the department may be supplemented with courses offered by other departments in the College of Engineering and in other colleges. Special emphasis is placed on the mastery of basic principles and methods. Courses and research opportunities are available in the areas of nanotechnology, biomaterials, ceramic materials, composite materials, electron microscopy, impact damage, intermetallic alloys, laser processing of ceramics, polymers and their composites, shape memory alloys, surface, surface modification of metals and polymers, structural thin film, and superplasticity of metals, electronic and photonic materials.<br>The graduate programs in chemical engineering and materials science and engineering are designed to develop research expertise needed for the graduate to serve as a principal investigator in industrial or academic research. The coursework is designed to expand the student's knowledge of engineering principles and applications. Each student also conducts an extensive research project that significantly advances fundamental understanding of a chemical engineering or materials science system. Results of the research are documented in a dissertation and research paper(s) for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
