Chemical engineering encompasses the translation of molecular information into discovery of new products and processes. It involves molecular transformations—chemical, physical, and biological—with multi-scale description from the submolecular to the macroscopic, and the analysis and synthesis of such systems. The chemical engineer is well prepared for a rewarding career in a strikingly diverse array of industries and professional arenas. Whether these industries are at the cutting edge—e.g. nanotechnology or biotechnology—or traditional, they depend on chemical engineers to make their products and processes a reality. The effectiveness of chemical engineers in such a broad range of areas begins with foundational knowledge in chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics. From this foundation, chemical engineers develop core expertise in engineering thermodynamics, transport processes, and chemical kinetics, creating a powerful and widely applicable combination of molecular knowledge and engineering problem solving. To cope with complex, real-world problems, chemical engineers develop strong synthetic and analytic skills. Through creative application of these chemical engineering principles, chemical engineers create innovative solutions to important industrial and societal problems in areas such as development of clean energy sources, advancement of life sciences, production of pharmaceuticals, sustainable systems and responsible environmental stewardship, and discovery and production of new materials.
The Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT offers three undergraduate programs. Course 10 leads to the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering through a curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Course 10-B leads to the Bachelor of Science in Chemical-Biological Engineering, which includes the basic engineering core from the Course 10 degree and adds material in basic and applied biology. ABET accreditation for this degree is anticipated. Course 10-C leads to the Bachelor of Science without specification; this is not accredited and requires fewer chemical engineering subjects. Many undergraduates take advantage of graduate-level subjects in their upper-class years. Undergraduate students are also encouraged to participate in research through the MIT UROP program.
The department offers a broad selection of graduate subjects and research topics leading to advanced degrees in chemical engineering. Multidisciplinary approaches are highly valued, leading to strong ties with other MIT departments. In addition, the department maintains alliances, arrangements, and connections with institutions and industries worldwide. Areas for specialization include, but are not limited to: biochemical engineering, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, chemical catalysis, chemical process development, environmental engineering, fuels and energy, polymer chemistry, surface and colloid chemistry, systems engineering, and transport processes. Additional information may be found under Graduate Study below and on the department's website.
The School of Chemical Engineering Practice (described below), leading to five-year bachelor's and master's degrees, involves one term of work under the direction of an Institute staff member resident at Practice School sites. This program provides students with a unique opportunity to apply basic professional principles to the solution of practical industrial problems.
The undergraduate curriculum in chemical engineering provides basic studies in physics, biology, and mathematics, a concentration in chemistry, and a strong core of chemical engineering. The four-year undergraduate programs provide students with the fundamentals of the discipline and allow some room for focus in subdisciplines or subjects that strengthen their preparation for advanced work.
In addition to science and engineering, students take an integrated sequence of subjects in the humanities and social sciences. Specific course selection allows students to meet individual areas of interest. The curriculum provides a sound preparation for jobs in industry or government, and for graduate work in chemical engineering.
Chemical engineering also provides excellent preparation for careers in medicine and related fields of health science and technology. The department's strong emphasis on chemistry and biology provides excellent preparation for medical school. Students interested in medical school work with their faculty and premedical advisor to create the best program. A minor in biomedical engineering is also available.
This degree is intended for the student who seeks a broad education in the application of chemical engineering to a variety of specific areas, including energy and the environment, nanotechnology, polymers and colloids, surface science, catalysis and reaction engineering, systems and process design, and biotechnology. The degree requirements include the core chemical engineering subjects with a chemistry emphasis, and the opportunity to add subjects in any of these application areas.
This degree is intended for the student who is specifically interested in the application of chemical engineering in the areas of biochemical and biomedical technologies. The degree requirements include core chemical engineering subjects and additional subjects in biological sciences and applied biology. This degree is excellent preparation for students also considering the biomedical engineering minor or medical school.
Students who decide early to major in either Course 10 or Course 10-B are encouraged to take subjects such as 5.11/5.111/5.112 Principles of Chemical Science, 5.12 Organic Chemistry I, and 10.10 Introduction to Chemical Engineering in their freshman year. Then 5.60, 18.03, 7.012/7.013/7.014/7.015, 10.213, and 10.301 may be taken in the sophomore year. The student is then well positioned for more in-depth and specialized subjects in the third and fourth years.
Some students may wish to defer choice of a major field or exercise maximum freedom during the first two years. If the Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirement subjects chosen in the second year include 18.03 and two subjects in the fields of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, chemistry, biology, or chemical engineering, students can generally complete the requirements for a degree in chemical engineering in two more years. Students are advised to discuss their proposed program with a Course 10 faculty advisor as soon as they become interested in a degree in chemical engineering. Faculty advisors are assigned to students as soon as they declare their major and then work with the students through graduation. Further information may be obtained from Dr. Barry S. Johnston.
Additional information is available on the Chemical Engineering Department website at http://web.mit.edu/cheme/. Undergraduates are encouraged to take part in the research activities of the department through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP).
The curriculum for students in Course 10-C involves basic subjects in chemistry and chemical engineering. Instead of continuing in depth in these areas, students can add breadth by study in another field, such as another engineering discipline, biology, biomedical engineering, economics, or management. Course 10-C is attractive to students who wish to specialize in an area such as those cited above while simultaneously gaining a broad exposure to the chemical engineering approach to solving problems.
Departmental requirements for Course 10-C are:
5.11/5.111/5.112, 5.60, 10.213, 10.301, and 10.302
plus
one subject from the following:
3.014, 3.155J/6.152J, 5.36, 7.02J/10.702J, 10.26, 10.28, 10.29
or 10.467;
and
an additional subject from the above list or
the following:
1.060, 1.096, 6.021J, 6.033, 6.111, 6.805, 14.05, 14.06, 15.279
or 15.301
All of the above restricted elective subjects satisfy the Institute CI-M requirement. Students must also complete 180 units beyond the GIRs; subjects chosen to complete these units must form a coherent program, and any subject chosen from the last list must be part of this coherent program.
Students planning to follow this curriculum should discuss their interests with their faculty advisor in the department at the time they decide to enter the Course 10-C program, and submit to Dr. Barry S. Johnston in the department's Undergraduate Office a statement of goals and a coherent program of subjects no later than spring term of junior year. Please direct questions about this program to Dr. Johnston.
In addition to offering separate programs leading to the Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Chemical Engineering, the department offers a program leading to the simultaneous award of both degrees at the end of five years. A detailed description of this program is available from the Graduate Student Office. Students in the five-year program normally enroll in the School of Chemical Engineering Practice.
For chemical engineering students interested in nuclear applications, the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Department of Nuclear Engineering offer a five-year program leading to the joint Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering. Such programs are approved on an individual basis between the registration officers of the two departments.

Graduate study provides both rigorous training in the fundamental core discipline of chemical engineering and the opportunity to focus on specific subdisciplines. In addition to completing four core subject requirements in thermodynamics, reaction engineering, numerical methods, and transportation phenomena, students select a research advisor and area for specialization, some of which are discussed below.
Biotechnology and Bioengineering. Biology, along with chemistry and physics, has become a foundational science of chemical engineering. Rapid advances in genetics and molecular and cell biology have created enormous opportunities for chemical engineers as this new enabling science must be translated into diverse technologies to achieve industrial and commercial reality. Applications include delivery of therapeutics (not only pharmaceuticals but also cellular and genetic elements), tissue engineering (to repair or reconstruct organ function), and extracorporeal treatments such as toxin removal and cell separations, as well as a fundamental understanding of cell and tissue physiology in terms of reaction kinetics and transport phenomena. The chemical engineering paradigm is broadly emulated in the development of therapies, devices, and materials for biomedical applications and strengthens the role of chemical engineers in modern health care technology.
Another biotechnological dimension of particular importance to chemical engineering is the deployment of biological systems and processes for the synthesis and production of specialty and bulk chemicals, fuels, and materials. By reconfiguring the structure and regulation of the bioreaction networks of microbial cells, it is now possible to harness the incredible versatility and efficiency of microbes for the synthesis of numerous existing and new products by environmentally benign processes using renewable resources. This area of application, metabolic engineering, creates new methods for product synthesis with the accompanying bioprocessing and scale-up opportunities. A new research and education initiative in bioinformatics brings the fundamentals of systems theory to problems of integrating and interpreting large biological data sets in the context of metabolic engineering, genomics, and drug design. Chemical engineering faculty are also involved in the Center for Biomedical Engineering, created to enhance interdisciplinary research and education at the intersection of engineering, molecular and cell biology, and medicine. Many research collaborations exist with the Department of Biology, the Whitehead Institute, and the Harvard and Boston University medical schools.
Chemical Engineering Systems and Process Control. In an era of structural changes in the chemical and biochemical industries, the computer-aided engineer is challenging conventional modes throughout the whole spectrum of activities such as product design, process conception and design, process engineering, control and operations, safety, and environmental protection. Extensive research efforts are currently under way in all of the above areas, supported by state-of-the-art computer facilities and software utilities.
Methodologies from computer science, applied math, operations research, and control and estimation theory are being combined vigorously with various computer-aided engineering activities, leading to new prototypes for industrial analysis and design.
Characteristic examples of current research projects that shape new prototypes for process systems engineering include process simulation; design of batch processes; design of molecules with desired properties; process synthesis; operability, control, and safety; development of biotechnological processes; intelligent databases and graphic interfaces; synthesis of control systems; and intelligent controllers.
Catalysis and Reaction Engineering. Catalysis is by far the most important process in the manufacturing of chemicals and in the refining of fuels for transportation and power. Catalysis is also the main process in reducing impurities in fuels, and thus solving environmental problems from combustion products. Recent advances in new catalytic materials are opening the doors to better technologies. Modern spectroscopic and computational techniques are providing powerful probes into the nature of catalytic action.
The heart of most chemical processes is the chemical reactor, which determines the overall process success. The overall performance is determined by the interactions of fluid mechanics, mixing, and transport phenomena with chemical kinetics. Rational design and operation of both catalysts and reactors are the objectives of this research area.
Microfabrication techniques and scale-up by replication have fueled spectacular advances in the electronics industry, and they are now creating new opportunities for reaction engineering. Collaborations between the Chemical Engineering and the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science departments have microfabricated chemical systems with feature sizes in the micron to hundreds of micron range and reaction components integrated with sensors and actuators. Microfluidic systems involving highly reactive, potentially hazardous, or toxic compounds are a focus of this work.
Colloid Science and Separations. Colloid science, specifically as it applies to structured fluids, is an interdisciplinary program drawing on the fields of engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. It is a scientifically challenging area with important practical benefits, not only in industrial processes but also in biomedical applications.
Structured fluids are solutions composed of microstructures dispersed in a solvent. These microstructures may be polymers, biomolecules (such as proteins and viruses), colloidal particles, surfactant aggregates (such as micelles, vesicles, and microemulsion droplets), or clathrates and hydrates. Structural fluids are important in fields as diverse as biological and environmental separations, drug delivery systems, transport of cholesterol in the body, tertiary oil recovery, cosmetics, food processing, synthesis of ultrafine particles for microelectronic and ceramics applications, and detergency and wetting.
Students can draw on the theoretical tools of statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, liquid-state theory, Monte-Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations, colloid and interface science, transport, and kinetics. A rich array of experimental techniques can also be employed in thesis research, including small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering; quasi-elastic light scattering; NMR; fluorimetry, infrared, and impedance spectroscopies; interfacial tensiometry; viscometry; calorimetry; interferometry; and various scanning-probe microscopies.
The field of separation science is also of major importance to the chemical, metallurgical, and biochemical industries and plays a leading role in the remediation of environmental problems. Microstructured colloidal fluids provide an interesting opportunity to mediate solute-solvent interactions, and thus to enhance separation selectivities. Examples include block copolymer micelles and tailored magnetic nanoparticles for the removal of trace contaminants from surface and ground waters, and two-phase aqueous polymer solutions or phase-separated micellar systems for the selective separation and concentration of biological species such as proteins and viruses. Stimuli-responsive gels can be used for dynamically controlled separation of proteins and other macromolecular species. Magnetic nanoparticles are also used for the selective recovery of biologicals from fermentation media, and for the magnetophoretic separation of nonmagnetic submicron particles.
Energy and Environment. Energy and environmental problems provide increasing opportunities for contributions by chemical engineers. Research to reduce adverse effects on the environment associated with energy conversion and use continues to be a major activity in the department. An important area is concerned with fundamental physical and chemical processes related to emission sources and control and environmental remediation. The second area focuses on the development of process design and operating procedures that can incorporate multiple objectives, including economic considerations, environmental performance, safety, control, and product quality. The third area explores methods for developing chemistries and molecular systems that preclude environmental problems. Examples include recyclable polymers; ecologically sound detergents; processes for removing trace contaminants from water or gas streams before discharge; solvents and processes that minimize waste-treatment requirements; novel separation methods involving magnetic colloids; new catalysts for control of emissions; microchemical reactors for on-site, on-demand manufacturing of hazardous chemicals; and computational chemistry directed towards understanding environmentally important problems. A fourth area considers alternative energy supplies from geothermal renewable resources and clathrate-hydrates, focusing on a wide range of topics from advanced drilling methods to hydrochemical effects in reservoirs.
Transport Processes and Thermodynamics. Research in transport processes and thermodynamics provides the foundation for many new and evolving technologies in areas ranging from biotechnology to microelectronics. Fundamental studies underway are at the forefront of scientific disciplines such as thermodynamics, continuum and statistical mechanics, quantum and classical molecular theory, heat and mass transfer, Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, interfacial phenomena, and applied mathematics. Many departmental faculty have research interests that fall into these areas, and their projects offer stimulating fundamental studies motivated by application. Current work involves the study of transport in heterogeneous media and at interfaces, microfluidics, transport in biological systems, chemically reacting flows, supercritical fluids, surfactants, and polymer rheology. The experimental work uses state-of-the-art equipment, and theoretical approaches involve both analytical and numerical methods.
Polymers. Polymers comprise a large fraction of the total production of the chemical industry. Their unique macromolecular structure is rich and complex, and requires understanding of relationships between their molecular architecture and physical properties. As polymers continue to replace existing materials in certain applications and open up interesting new areas of technology, greater understanding is required at various levels, ranging from the molecular to the continuum. Chemical engineers contribute to the polymer field in numerous areas of activity such as polymer processing, polymer rheology, structure-property relationships, design of polymers and polymer synthesis and characterization, and interactions among these different areas. In addition to a program of graduate study in polymers within the department, opportunities exist to participate directly and indirectly in the activities of the interdepartmental Program in Polymer Science and Technology.
Surface and Materials Chemistry. The study of surface chemistry and surface physics is central to the understanding of many chemical engineering processes. In the department, both fundamental and applied research is conducted in many areas of gas-solid and colloidal surface science.
The understanding of gas-solid kinetics is crucial in the study of heterogeneous catalysis and the fabrication of integrated circuits. Using new and rapidly expanding techniques of surface probes, researchers are exploring the kinetics of catalytic processes, plasma etching of integrated circuits, and chemical vapor deposition of thin films. Typical techniques used include X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger spectroscopy, modulated beam scattering, mass spectrometry, laser-induced fluorescence, electron microscopy, and BET measurements.
Surface chemistry is applied to novel, ultrafine materials of 1-10 nm. Such nanostructured materials have an extremely high surface-to-volume ratio, and their surface structure is linked to unusual, size-dependent properties that are promising for advanced ceramic, catalytic, electronic, and optical applications.
Since 1916, the David H. Koch School of Chemical Engineering Practice has been a major feature of the graduate education in the department. In this unique program, students receive intensive instruction to broaden their education not only in the technical aspects of the profession, but also in communication skills and human relations, which are frequently decisive factors in the success of an engineering enterprise. The Practice School program stresses problem solving in an engineering internship format, where students undertake projects at industrial sites under the direct supervision of resident MIT faculty. Credit is granted for participation in the Practice School in lieu of preparing a master's thesis.
The operation of the Practice School is similar to that of a small consulting company. The resident staff work closely with the technical personnel of the host companies in identifying project assignments with significant educational merit, and with solutions that make important contributions to the operation of the company.
During Practice School, students work on three or four different projects. Groups and designated group leaders change from one project to another, giving every individual an opportunity to be a group leader at least once.
Students in the Practice School program are required to demonstrate proficiency, or take one graduate subject, in each of the following areas: thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, applied process chemistry, kinetics and reactor design, systems engineering, and applied mathematics.
Programs for the Master of Science in Chemical Engineering usually are arranged as a continuation of undergraduate professional training, but at a greater level of depth and maturity. The general requirements for a master's program are given in the section on Graduate Education in Part 1. To complete the requirement of at least 66 subject units, of which 42 units must be in H-level subjects, together with an acceptable thesis, generally takes four terms.
The unit requirements for the Master of Science in Chemical Engineering Practice (Course 10-A) are the same as those for the Master of Science in Chemical Engineering, except that 48 units of Practice School experience replace the master's thesis.
In some cases, Bachelor of Science graduates of this department can meet the requirements for the Master of Science in Chemical Engineering Practice (Course 10-A) in two terms. Beginning in September following graduation, students complete the required coursework at the Institute. The spring semester is spent at the Practice School field stations. Careful planning of the senior year schedule is important.
For students who have graduated in chemical engineering from other institutions, the usual program of study for the Master of Science in Chemical Engineering Practice involves two terms at the Institute followed by the field station work in the Practice School. Graduates in chemistry from other institutions normally require an additional term.
The Master of Science in Technology and Policy is an engineering research degree with a strong focus on the role of technology in policy analysis and formulation. The Technology and Policy program (TPP) curriculum provides a solid grounding in technology and policy by combining advanced subjects in the student's chosen technical field with courses in economics, politics, and law. Many students combine TPP's curriculum with complementary subjects to obtain dual degrees in TPP and either a specialized branch of engineering or an applied social science such as political science or urban studies and planning. For additional information, see the program description under Engineering Systems Division or visit http://tppserver.mit.edu/.
The Leaders for Manufacturing (LFM) program combines graduate education in engineering and management for those with two or more years of work experience who aspire to leadership positions in manufacturing or operations companies. This rigorous 24-month program combines subjects in technology and management. A required 6.5-month internship provides opportunity to complete a research project on site at one of LFM's partner companies. The internship leads to a dual-degree thesis, culminating in two master's degrees—an SM in management or an MBA, and an SM from a participating engineering department. The program is offered jointly through the MIT Sloan School of Management and the School of Engineering. For more information, see the program description under Engineering Systems Division or visit http://lfm.mit.edu/.
Admission to the doctoral program is granted only after the doctoral candidate has passed a written and oral general examination. Given in January and May, the examinations are usually taken at the end of the first term in residence as a graduate student. It is not necessary to complete a master's program in order to obtain a doctorate.
The requirements for the doctoral degree include a program of advanced study, a minor program, a biology requirement, and a thesis. The program of advanced study and research is normally carried out in one of the fields of chemical engineering under the supervision of one or more faculty members in the Department of Chemical Engineering. A thesis committee of selected faculty monitors the doctoral program of each candidate.
This degree program provides educational experience that combines advanced work in manufacturing, independent research, and management. The program is built on the outstanding research programs within the department, the unique resources of the David H. Koch School of Chemical Engineering Practice, and the world-class resources of the Sloan School of Management. Students are prepared for a rapid launch into positions of leadership in industry and provided with a foundation for completion of an MBA degree.
The program consists of three major parts: the first year is devoted to coursework and the Practice School, the two middle years are devoted to research, and the final year is completed in the Sloan School of Management. In addition, an integrative project combines the research and management portions of the program.
Students in the PhD in Chemical Engineering Practice (PhDCEP) program must pass the department's written and oral examinations. The progress of their research is monitored by a faculty committee, and the final thesis document is defended in a public forum. The normal completion time should be four calendar years for the PhDCEP program.
The Joint Program with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is intended for students whose primary career objective is oceanographic engineering
The Program in Polymer Science and Technology is intended for students who seek a Doctor of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degree with a focus on macromolecular science and engineering.
These programs are described under Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs in Part 2.
The department has a wide variety of financial support options for graduate students, including teaching and research assistantships, fellowships, and loans. Information about financial assistance may be obtained by writing to the Graduate Student Office, but consideration for awards cannot be given before admissions decisions have been made.
For additional information concerning graduate programs, admissions, financial aid, and assistantships, contact the Graduate Student Office, Department of Chemical Engineering, Room 66-366, MIT, 617-253-4579, chemegrad@mit.edu.
