The Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials<br />

Science offers five undergraduate programs:<br />

Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering,<br />

Chemical Engineering/Materials Science and Engineering,<br />

Electrical Engineering/Materials Science<br />

and Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering.<br />

Mission Statement. To advance, through teaching<br />

and research programs, the frontiers of chemical<br />

engineering, biochemical engineering, and materials<br />

science and engineering; to educate students<br />

with a sense of professionalism and community; and<br />

to serve the public of California through outreach<br />

efforts.<br />

Chemical Engineering Program<br />

Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry<br />

and engineering to produce useful commodities,<br />

ranging from fuels to polymers. Chemical engineers<br />

are increasingly concerned with chemical and engineering<br />

processes related to the environment and<br />

food production. They work in diverse areas ranging<br />

from integrated circuits to integrated waste management.<br />

Preparation for a career in chemical engineering<br />

requires an understanding of both engineering<br />

and chemical principles to develop proficiency in<br />

conceiving, designing, and operating new processes.<br />

The chemical engineering curriculum has been<br />

planned to provide a sound knowledge of engineering<br />

and chemical sciences so that you may achieve<br />

competence in addressing current and future technical<br />

problems.<br />

Objectives. The objectives of the program in<br />

Chemical Engineering are to educate students in the<br />

fundamentals of chemical engineering, balanced<br />

with the application of these principles to practical<br />

problems; to train them as independent, critical<br />

thinkers who can also function effectively in teams; to<br />

foster a sense of community, ethical responsibility,<br />

and professionalism; to prepare them for careers in<br />

industry, government, and academia; to illustrate the<br />

necessity for continuing education and self-learning;<br />

and to help students to learn to communicate proficiently<br />

in written and oral form.<br />

The Chemical Engineering program is accredited by<br />

the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,<br />

Options for Junior and Senior Years<br />

The focus in your junior year is on fundamentals,<br />

such as thermo-dynamics, fluid mechanics, energy<br />

transfer, and mass transfer phenomena. In the senior<br />

year, you draw together these fundamentals and<br />

apply them in a study of kinetics, process design,<br />

and process dynamics and control. The program<br />

includes ten units of technical electives, and six units<br />

of chemical engineering and materials science electives<br />

that allow you to strengthen specific areas in<br />

chemical engineering, explore new areas, or pursue<br />

new areas of specialization.<br />

Areas of Specialization<br />

The most popular areas of specialization, together<br />

with lists of suggested technical electives, are identified<br />

and discussed in the following listing. Talk to the<br />

Honors Program. An Honors Program is available<br />

to qualified students in the Chemical Engineering,<br />

Biochemical Engineering, and Materials<br />

Science and Engineering majors. The Honors Program<br />

is also available to the dual majors: Chemical<br />

Engineering/Materials Science and Electronic Materials<br />

Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering/<br />

Materials Science and Engineering. The Chemical<br />

Engineering and Materials Science Honors Program<br />

is a four-year program designed to challenge the<br />

most talented students in these majors. Students<br />

invited to participate will take a one-unit honors seminar<br />

in their freshman year and will enroll in various<br />

one-unit honors courses. In the upper division, students<br />

will complete either an honors thesis or a project<br />

that might involve local industry (Chemical<br />

engineering 194 HA, HB, HC). Students must maintain<br />

a grade point average of 3.500 to continue in<br />

the program. Successful completion of the Honors<br />

Program will be acknowledged on the student's transcript.<br />

Chemical Engineering/Materials<br />

Science and Engineering Program<br />

The Chemical Engineering/Materials Science Program<br />

is a combined major that offers unique interdisciplinary<br />

courses requiring chemical engineering<br />

and materials science students to work together.<br />

Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry<br />

and engineering to produce useful commodities,<br />

ranging from antibiotics to zirconium. Materials science<br />

and engineering is directed toward an understanding<br />

of the structure, properties, and behavior of<br />

materials. The development of new materials and the<br />

understanding of chemical processes demand a thorough<br />

knowledge of basic engineering and scientific<br />

principles, including crystal structure, elastic and<br />

plastic behavior, thermodynamics, phase equilibria<br />

and reaction rates, and physical and chemical<br />

behavior of engineering materials. The Chemical<br />
