Welcome to the School of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering! The School is excited about its part in the College of Engineering’s Top-25 Initiative, and is striving to reach new goals in its pursuit of academic excellence. Our mission is to work in partnership with our professional constituents in order to graduate students immediately prepared for professional practice in industry, government, academia or nonprofit organizations. It is also our goal for students to be known for their technical competency and creativity; their ability to apply, adapt and extend their knowledge to solve problems; and for their effective communication skills. The curriculum is designed to meet these goals through course content and high levels of faculty-student interaction, in an environment that stimulates learning and promotes diversity. An endowment supports the Linus Pauling Distinguished Engineer, who is dedicated to infusing concepts of professional practice into our curriculum through our CoaChEs (Communication, organization and analysis skills for Chemical Engineering students) teaching philosophy.

In the School of CBEE, faculty members teach all our classes and most laboratories. Our department is committed to working closely with our advisory board and alumni to implement a process of continuous improvement in education.

Thank you for your interest in our programs!
