CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Chemical Engineering students pursuing an emphasis in CSE must complete the following:

• Numerical Methods: Chemical Engineering 211A-B-C-D (students must take at least three).
• Parallel Computing: Computer Science 240A-B (students must take at least one).
• Applied Mathematics: Chemical Engineering 230A-B.
• The students must take the three numerical courses (Chemical Engineering 211) and the one parallel computation course (Computer Science 240) as graduate electives.

The specific requirements for the M.S. in Chemical Engineering (thesis option only) with the CSE emphasis are as follows:

• The completion all requirements for an M.S. in chemical engineering.
• A master’s thesis in CSE.
• The thesis must be written under the supervision of a CSE ladder faculty member. The thesis committee must include a minimum of three permanent ladder faculty members, at least two from Chemical Engineering and one from CSE (may be CSE faculty member from another department).

Students pursuing a Ph.D. with an emphasis in CSE must:

• Complete all requirements for a Ph.D. in chemical engineering.
• Write and defend a dissertation in CSE
• The student’s dissertation must be written under the supervision of a Chemical Engineering CSE ladder faculty member. The doctoral examination committee must include at least one CSE ladder faculty member and at least one ladder faculty member from another department.
