Chemical Engineering - Master's

Chemical Engineering (Ch.E.) is a respected and ideal profession for modern times and dynamic changing markets. It is broad and adaptable to a large family of businesses (i.e., petroleum, environmental, biotechnology, biomedicine, pharmaceutical, materials, food and others). Rooted in basic sciences, Ch.E. is mainly concerned with the design, scaling (up or down), operation and control of the transformation and separation of raw materials into valuable products. Chemical engineers are the inventors of nylon fibers, artificial heart valves, nasal drug deliveries and efficient processes to clean our environment, to name a few.
