化学和生物工程学学士学位

化学工程课程至少包括39门课程，其中包括三门免费选修课和三门区域选修课：一门高级化学课程，一门高级化学工程课程和一门非化学工程领域的课程。在完成学士学位课程三年后，学生可以继续学习第四年或被录取为专业课程。尽管可以在与教职顾问协商后按课程顺序进行个别更改，但课程中所有列出的课程和选修学分都必须令人满意地完成才能获得指定学位。下面提供了指示所需课程和选修课程的大纲。完整的课程总计131个学时。通过应用工程，科学和数学原理来识别，制定和解决复杂的工程问题的能力，可以应用工程设计来生成满足特定需求的解决方案的能
The Chemical Engineering program at Rensselaer is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Chemical, Biochemical, Biomolecular, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. The Howard P. Isermann Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering prepares students to enter their engineering practice dealing with chemical as well as physical processes to meet the challenges of the future. The curriculum, which builds on chemistry, biology, mathematics, basic sciences, and engineering science, culminates in professional applications in which theory is tempered by engineering art and economic principles. Through this curriculum, Chemical Engineering graduates are uniquely prepared to address some of societies most pressing problems including: climate change, energy security, sustainable resources, and healthcare.<br><br>Opportunities for creative and satisfying practice in chemical and biological engineering can be found in conception, design, control, or management of processes involving chemical and/or biochemical transformations. These processes range from the more conventional conversion of crude oil into petrochemicals and plastics, to the microbiological transformation of hardwood chips into specialty alcohols, or to the creation of semiconductor devices from silicon wafers. Diverse career choices exist not only in the chemical industry, but in virtually all processing industries, including agricultural, biotechnology, chemical, food, nuclear, semiconductor processing, and environmental operations. By emphasizing basic principles, the program prepares its graduates for positions spanning the spectrum of activities from research and development, to process and project engineering, to production, or to technical marketing.
