Chemical Engineering

The field of chemical engineering involves the production and synthesis of plastics, fibers, basic chemicals, foods and electrical materials. Chemical engineers also develop new materials such as biochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Typically, a chemical engineer pursues a career in materials-related industry or government, and can continue their education in graduate school.

Students working in the civil engineering structures lab

Civil Engineering

Transportation systems, schools and office buildings, bridges, dams, land projects, water distribution systems, commercial buildings, and industrial plants are just a few of the facilities that civil engineers plan, design and construct to meet the needs of modern society. A career in civil engineering offers opportunities in industry and consulting, along with government or research.

Computer Engineering

The computer engineering program is designed to allow students to analyze computer systems involving both a hardware and a software component. Computer engineers also implement designs for these dual systems while evaluating interfaces between hardware and software.

Electrical Engineering Student

Electrical Engineering

The undergraduate electrical engineering program combines laboratory experiences and classroom learning in order to provide students with a strong background in signals, systems, computers, analog and digital electronics, and semiconductors. Students enrolled in the program choose one of the following areas to study more in depth: electromagnetics, signals and systems, solid state, computer hardware, computer software, control or circuits.

Student Engineers

Macromolecular Science and Engineering

Students in macromolecular science and engineering study the synthesis, structure, processing, properties and use of large molecules called polymers. These polymer molecules are the basis of materials such as plastics, fibers, rubber, films, paints, membranes, adhesives and biological molecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins and carbohydrates. Macromolecular science and engineering students engage in classroom instruction to learn the properties of polymers as well as laboratory analysis and production of polymers.

Materials Engineering Student

Materials Science and Engineering

Materials science and engineering involves materials properties and structure applied to the analysis and design of materials for engineering systems. A materials engineer evaluates the behavior of materials under varied conditions, recognizes performance limitations of materials, and controls the manufacturing of materials to meet demands of an engineering system.
