Chemical Engineering
Materials Specialization The requirements for the materials specialization are analogous to the requirements for the biological engineering specialization, in that they include an introductory course, Materials Science, that is required for all chemical engineering students, followed by project work and enrollment in approved electives.
In order to earn the specialization in materials, students must earn four credits by spending at least two of their four semesters of Junior/Senior Engineering Clinic working on materials projects. These projects can be housed in any of the four engineering disciplines, but must be approved by the Chemical Engineering faculty as having substantial materials content. Note that students can also fulfill the project requirement through independent study on materials-related projects (Independent Study in Engineering 0901.391). Students earn the remaining six credits towards the specialization by taking one elective from each of the following lists. In order to underscore the diverse applications and multidisciplinary nature of materials science, we will require students to take one chemistry or chemical engineering elective, and one materials elective outside of chemical engineering. Note that a chemistry course can be used to fulfill either requirement, but no one course can be used to fulfill both. Approved Materials Electives from ChE or Chemistry 0906.406 Polymer Processing 0906.490 Approved Special Topics Course 1905.430 Approved Advanced Topics in Chemistry
Approved Materials Electives from outside Chemical Engineering 0908.301 Civil Engineering Materials 0910.422 Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics 1905.430 Approved Advanced Topics in Chemistry 1907.405 Introduction to Polymer Chemistry 1907.475 Polymer Synthesis 1907.478 Polymer Characterization
