化学工程理学硕士（WITH THESIS）

没有论文的理科硕士可以在短短的一学年内完成。科罗拉多矿业学院的化学和生物工程系是一个充满活力，令人兴奋的研究和高等教育环境。矿山提供了严格的教育经验，在此，教职员工和顶尖学生共同致力于意义深远的社会应用研究。部门研究领域包括生物工程，催化，胶体和复杂流体，计算科学，燃料电池，气体水合物，膜，聚合物以及太阳能和电子材料。
The objectives of the graduate studies in the Chemical and Natural Gas Engineering programs are as follows.<br><br>To prepare students for successful careers and major contributions to the chemical process and petroleum industries by instilling in them fundamental concepts as well as practical knowledge of modern engineering to overcome current as well as future challenges of the industries.<br>To prepare students for doctoral study in petroleum/chemical or related disciplines.<br>To instill in students a sense of responsibility to their profession and to society in general.<br>The Wayne H. King Department of Chemical Engineering and Natural Gas Engineering offers programs in developing interdisciplinary specialties, as well as in the more traditional areas of Chemical and Natural Gas Engineering.<br><br>Several modern engineering buildings contain laboratories, including unit operations, process control, gas measurement and drilling facilities. Excellent computer facilities also are available.<br><br>For the Master of Science degree, both Plan I (thesis) and Plan II (non-thesis) are available.<br><br>Plan I requires 24 semester hours of course work (18 hours in the major area and 6 hours in a minor area) plus completion of a research thesis.<br>Plan II requires 36 semester hours of course work, including 21 to 30 hours in the major area and 6 to 15 hours in one or two minor areas. If two minor areas are chosen, at least 6 hours must be taken in each area. Completion of a short research project and report is also required.<br><br>The Plan II program can normally be completed in one calendar year of full-time study (Fall, Spring and Summer semesters). The Plan I program may require an additional one or two semesters due to the open-ended nature of thesis research.
