We aim to capitalize on the fundamental strengths of chemical engineering in the study and application of multi-component, multiphase transport and reaction processes to make innovative and creative advances to solving pressing societal problems in human health, environment, and industry. The Department's mission statement follows: The Mission of the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering is to provide a high quality and modern education in the fundamental principles and practices of chemical and biomedical engineering. The fundamental unifying theme of chemical engineering is the study and application of multi-component, multiphase systems from the molecular to the macroscopic scales, with particular emphasis on molecular transport processes with chemical transformation, e.g., chemical or biochemical reactions. The biomedical engineering emphasis in the Department builds upon this chemical engineering strength, and is focused on cellular and biochemical transformations in natural and synthetic environments. An integral part of the education process involves faculty and students conducting groundbreaking and innovative research in areas of critical importance to our society. The Department seeks to prepare students for academic and professional work through classroom and laboratory instruction and research with modern experimental, mathematical, and computational tools.
