Choose Your Specialization
Undergraduate students in the School of Engineering follow a common first year curriculum. Students declare a specific engineering major during the second semester of the first-year studies. Chemical and biochemical engineering students take courses in mathematics, science, and engineering gaining the ability to design and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. The flexibility of the degree includes the option of focused areas of concentration.
