What is Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering?
It is the world of plastics and high-strength ceramics, of gasoline, natural gas, and fuel cells, of semiconductors and light emitting diodes, of clean air and water, of pharmaceuticals, drug delivery, and scaffolds for artificial organs. It is a world where engineers tinker with molecules through the foundations of chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics to develop new products and chemical processes that enhance our quality of life. This remarkable connection from the molecular scale to the macroscopic scale where one can touch and see the effects of molecular tinkering on products and processes, is truly the hallmark of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. The world of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering fully embraces forefront areas of Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, and Environmental Science. Our students are given the fundamental training to work in virtually all industrial sectors – in the petroleum and chemical industries, in the consumer products industry, in the biote
