The Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials
Science offers four undergraduate programs:
Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering,
Chemical Engineering/Materials Science and Engineering,
and Materials Science and Engineering.
Mission Statement. To advance, through teaching
and research programs, the frontiers of chemical
engineering, biochemical engineering, and materials
science and engineering; to educate students
with a sense of professionalism and community; and
to serve the public of California through outreach
efforts.
Chemical Engineering Program
Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry
and engineering to produce useful commodities,
ranging from fuels to polymers. Chemical engineers
are increasingly concerned with chemical and engineering
processes related to the environment and
food production. They work in areas as diverse as
integrated circuits and integrated waste management.
Preparation for a career in chemical engineering
requires an understanding of both engineering
and chemical principles to develop proficiency in
conceiving, designing, and operating new processes.
The chemical engineering curriculum has been
planned to provide a sound knowledge of engineering
and chemical sciences so that you may achieve
competence in treating current and future technical
problems.
Objectives. The objectives of the program in
Chemical Engineering are to educate students in the
fundamentals of chemical engineering, balanced
with the application of these principles to practical
problems; to educate students as independent, critical
thinkers who can also function effectively as a
team; to educate students with a sense of community,
ethical responsibility, and professionalism; to educate
students for careers in industry, government,
and academia; to teach students the necessity for
continuing education and self-learning; and to help
students to learn to communicate proficiently in written
and oral form.
The Chemical Engineering program is accredited by
the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

Options for Junior and Senior Years
The focus in your junior year is on fundamentals,
such as thermo-dynamics, fluid mechanics, energy
transfer, and mass transfer phenomena. In the senior
year, you draw together these fundamentals and
apply them in a study of kinetics, process design,
and process dynamics and control. The program
includes ten units of technical electives, and six units
of chemical engineering and materials science electives
that allow you to strengthen specific areas in
chemical engineering, explore new areas, or pursue
new areas of specialization.
