Majors

The Department of Chemical and Environ men - tal Engineering offers B.S. degrees in Chem ical Engineering and in Envir on men tal Engineer ing, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical and Environmental Engin eering. For more de tails, see www.cee.ucr.edu.

Chemical Engineering focuses on transforming raw materials into useful everyday products. Chemical engineers turn the discoveries of chemists and physicists into commercial reali- ties. They find work in a variety of fields includ- ing pharmaceuticals, materials, chemical, fuels, pollution control, medicine, and nuclear and electronic industries. At UCR, the B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering offers students three options: Biochemical Engin eer ing, focusing on biochemical processes; Bioengin eering, focusing on the biomedical industry; or Chem ical Engineering, emphasizing traditional chemical engineering issues.

The program’s educational objectives are to produce graduates who demonstrate in their careers and professional pursuits the following:

• An ability to apply mathematics, engineering

principles, computer skills, and natural sciences to chemical engineering practice

• Application of fundamental chemical engi-

neering principles at an advanced level, and competence in synthesizing knowledge from multiple disciplines to develop and evaluate design solutions.

• Engagement in chemical engineering careers

in diverse areas including bioengineering, nanotechnology, petrochemicals, alternative energy, and semiconductor manufacturing.

• Pursuit of graduate education and research

in chemical engineering at major research universities.

• Exercise professional responsibility and

sensitivity to a broad range of societal concerns, such as ethical, environmental, economic, regulatory, and global issues

• Effective performance in a team environment,

outstanding communication, and involvement in personal and professional growth activities.

The Chem ical Engineering B.S. degree at UCR is ac cred ited by the Engineering Accreditation Com mission of the Accreditation Board for Engin eer ing and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012;

(410) 347-7700.

Environmental Engineering deals with design and construction of processes and equipment intended to lessen the impact of man’s activi- ties on the environment. With the growing importance of environmental quality, the envi- ronmental engineer plays a pivotal role in mod- ern industrial activity. Environmental engineers are involved in a wide range of activities includ- ing the design of alternative fueled vehicles, the development of renewable energy sources, the design of equipment for solid waste collection and disposal, municipal and industrial waste- water treatment, air pollution control systems, and hazardous waste management. At UCR, the B.S. degree in Envir onmental Engineering allows students to concentrate on air and/or water quality.

The program’s educational objectives are to produce graduates who demonstrate in their careers and professional pursuits the following:

• An ability to apply mathematics, engineering

principles, computer skills, and natural sci- ences to environmental engineering practice

• Application of fundamental environmental

engineering principles at an advanced level, and competence in synthesizing knowledge from multiple disciplines to develop and evaluate design solutions.

• Engagement in environmental engineering

careers in diverse areas including sustain- ability, air quality and pollution control, water quality engineering, bioremediation, and green engineering.

• Pursuit of graduate education and research

in environmental engineering at major research universities

• Exercise professional responsibility and sen-

sitivity to a broad range of societal concerns, such as ethical, environmental, economic, regulatory, and global issues

• Effective performance in a team environ-

ment, outstanding communication, and involvement in personal and professional growth activities.
