Chemical Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge
of mathematics, chemistry, and the other natural sciences gained by study, experience, and
practice is applied with judgment to develop economic ways of using materials and energy
for the benefit of mankind. The program required for the degree of Bachelor of Science in
Chemical Engineering provides fundamental instruction in mathematics, chemistry, physics,
and engineering. This education prepares the graduate to seek employment in petroleum
refineries, the manufacturing of synthetic fibers, steel mills, paper mills, ore
processing, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. Also, he or she may be found in related areas
of research and development in biomedical engineering, fuels, engine design, nuclear
energy, and pollution abatement, as well as management. If the graduate prefers, he or she
is adequately prepared to pursue additional studies in a graduate program.
Chemical engineering students are required to take the
Fundamentals of Engineering examination of Alabama or another state prior to graduation.
All electives must be approved by the student's advisor. Degree requirements include a
minimum of 18 semester hours of approved electives in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

MASTER OF
SCIENCE IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
A Master of Science degree in Chemical Engineering is offered requiring
advanced course work in core areas of chemical engineering such as separations, reactor
design, and thermodynamics. The student is offered a wide latitude in choosing electives
to build expertise in associated areas such as computer science and waste treatment.
Students with chemistry backgrounds can qualify for admission by taking a prescribed
series of undergraduate courses. See degree requirements.
