About the Program
Chemical engineering concerns the design, scale-up, and operation of chemical processes, and the understanding and design of technologically useful materials. Chemical engineers are responsible for the economical, safe, and environmentally benign production of useful quantities of vital materials� from grams of a new drug to tons of a commodity chemical. Chemical engineers use these same skills to understand and manipulate natural processes, such as in biological systems. The program at UB is broadly based to prepare graduates for positions in engineering development, design, economic evaluation, sales, construction, production, and management. A number of undergraduates go on to graduate work and careers in research, and some pursue degrees in medicine, business, or law.
Students intending to major in chemical engineering should have strong backgrounds in chemistry and mathematics. Sophomore- and junior-year students take a combination of theoretical and applied courses in chemical engineering, in addition to several courses in physical and organic chemistry. The senior year extends this base and builds upon it with courses in design and electives. Many of the courses are accompanied by laboratory sessions. Communication skills, both oral and written, are stressed through laboratory reports. Some senior students are exposed to research in a senior projects course; others obtain industrial experience through local internships or through the chemical engineering co-op program.
In 2003 the department changed its name (adding �Biological�) to reflect the important and growing contributions that chemical engineers make in the field of biological applications. The profession is evolving to meet the increasing need for engineers who speak the languages of chemistry and biology, and who possess strong quantitative skills. Although the degree offered by the department is still in chemical engineering, several courses are offered to permit study of biological engineering, and there is even more opportunity to focus in biology through selection of electives following a Biological Engineering track.
Degree Options
In addition to the regular BS program, a five-year BS-CE/MBA combined degree program has been established. Also, the Department of Biological Sciences offers a special biotechnology minor exclusively for chemical engineering majors. The Department also offers three tracks, which are specifications of electives for students wishing to focus on a specialty within chemical engineering. Currently tracks are established for (i) Biological Engineering; (ii) Materials Engineering; and (iii) Process Engineering. Details may be obtained at the department web site.
Opportunities for Undergraduate Research and Practical Experience
Students are encouraged to participate in work experience classes and research opportunities as part of their undergraduate experience
Work experience is available through the Engineering Career Institute program in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, as well as in departmental co-op and internship classes. The Engineering Career Institute (EAS 396, 1 academic credit) provides career-effectiveness skills and co-op placement assistance during the junior year. This may be followed by one to three co-op work experiences (EAS 496, 2 academic credit hours). Descriptions of co-op courses may be found at http://undergrad-catalog.buffalo.edu/academicprograms/eas.shtml.
Undergraduate research experiences are available for course credit (Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity or Independent Study). The Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity, http://curca.buffalo.edu, serves as a clearing house for information regarding undergraduate research opportunities. Alternatively, research activities may instead be arranged directly between students and faculty members.
Advisement
The 2006-07 catalog introduces substantial changes to the degree program, and these changes are being phased in as the freshman class entering in 2006 proceeds toward graduation in 2010. Students planning to complete the degree before 2010 (in particular, transfer students) must follow the degree requirements published in the 2005-06 catalog.
