化学工程理学硕士

化学工程系提供的课程可导致理学硕士和化学工程博士学位。这些领域所基于的主要领域是连续体和分子流体力学，传热和传质，宏观和微观热力学，化学动力学和过程分析。应用领域包括能源生产和利用，极端条件下的材料特性，基于生物的过程以及环境。学生被考入研究生院后，他们将被分配一名临时顾问。学生在第一年必须选择一名永久顾问。选择了永久顾问后，学生必须与顾问和本系研究生委员会协商，概述拟议的学位课程（硕士或博士学位）的完整计划。允许并鼓励学生遵循跨学科计划，其中可能包括多个专业领域，并且可能要求注册化学工程系以外的其他学科
The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Rochester develops technologies, materials, and processes that benefit society in the areas of clean energy, sustainable process engineering, nanotechnology, and human health. The department was established in 1915 as one of the first chemical engineering programs in the country and has a storied history. Contributions from Rochester faculty, students, and alumni have had global impact. We specialize in applying chemical engineering to materials science and artificial intelligence to solve the grand challenges of the 21st century.<br>We offer a first-class engineering education. Students learn how to apply fundamental engineering and scientific principles to design processes for the production, transformation and transport of energy, chemicals and materials. We provide training in emerging technologies and computer programming to tackle humanity's major challenges, with the aim to develop the next generation of leaders in chemical engineering. We leverage our strong relationships to industry and academic leaders to create a talent pipeline for a modern workforce.<br>The Department of Chemical Engineering offers graduate programs leading to PhD and MS degrees in chemical engineering. Students in our department participate in groundbreaking, multidisciplinary research and education in an innovative environment. Students can join one of our distinguished and well-funded research groups and benefit from close interactions with our faculty, through carefully designed courses and cutting-edge research projects.<br>Our faculty value interdisciplinary research, giving students the opportunity to collaborate with other departments like chemistry, optics, biomedical engineering, and materials science. The department and the university offer state-of-the-art research equipment and computer facilities to perform high-impact research.<br>An MS degree in chemical engineering from the University of Rochester can open up opportunities to higher-level professional positions or to continue on to a PhD.<br>The MS degree can usually be completed in one to two years through a combination of coursework and research or through coursework only. The curriculum offers a modern emphasis on chemical engineering fundamentals with tailored electives. It is designed to develop fundamental knowledge in chemical engineering core areas.<br>Students who pursue the coursework-based MS degree must earn a minimum of 32 graduate credit hours. Up to 6 credit hours can be from research (optional). Students who choose this option are required to pass an oral exit exam. Most students complete the Plan B program in a year and a half.
