The Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering offers B.S. degrees in Chemical Engineering and in Environmental Engineering, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical and Environmental Engineering. For more details, see 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 realities. They find work in a variety of fields including 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 Engineering, focusing on biochemical processes; Nanotechnology, focusing on nanoscale processes; or Chemical Engineering, emphasizing traditional chemical engineering issues.

The program’s educational objectives are to produce graduates who attain high levels of technical expertise to enable their achievement in diverse chemical engineering practice and research, or in allied careers, prepare them for graduate level education, and enable them to be successful members of the professional community, for the benefit of our constituents.

The Chemical Engineering B.S. degree program at UCR is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, abet.org. CHASS F1RST / Chemical and Environmental Engineering / 152 Environmental Engineering deals with design and construction of processes and equipment intended to lessen the impact of man’s activities on the environment. With the growing importance of environmental quality, the environmental engineer plays a pivotal role in modern industrial activity. Environmental engineers are involved in a wide range of activities including 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 wastewater treatment, air pollution control systems, and hazardous waste management. At UCR, the B.S. degree in Environmental Engineering allows students to concentrate on air and/or water quality.
