Foundations in Chemical Engineering - Graduate Certificate

The Graduate Certificate in Foundations in Chemical Engineering provides a broad base of the key concepts relevant to chemical and biochemical process industries, including  thermodynamics; reactor design; fluid flow; heat transfer; separations; and process control, economics, and design. The certificate is appropriate for graduates from other programs who seek to pursue graduate work in chemical engineering and for practitioners trained in other fields who seek to understand and apply chemical-engineering principles. The certificate is available only online.
 
Admission
 
Students are generally expected, but not required, to have bachelor’s-level or significant training in a math, science or engineering field. Prospective students are encouraged to contact the Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science to determine if their background is a good fit for the certificate.
