The Department of Chemical Engineering offers an accredited undergraduate program leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree. At the graduate level the following degrees are offered: Master of Science, Practice Oriented Master of Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy.
There are fifteen faculty members, all of whom are pursuing active research programs. The research interests of the faculty are aimed at innovative and non-traditional areas of chemical engineering. The chemically based research activities at Case, which include those of Macromolecular Science, are very strong, ranking 5th nationally in total research dollars, and 4th in federal research awards. On a per faculty member basis, we believe we rank second nationally in raising research dollars.
The department has about 105 undergraduates (sophomore-seniors) and 40 full-time graduate students. We award about 8 M.S. degrees and 4 Ph.D. degrees per year.
All chemical engineering undergraduates are members of the student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). The AIChE chapter sponsors social events, field trips to local industry, technical presentations by outside speakers, and employment counseling.
