M.S. in Chemical Engineering

University of Toledo

Our chemical engineering M.S. students grow their knowledge through rigorous coursework and perform cutting-edge research that aims to tackle the world’s greatest energy, environmental and medical challenges. Current projects range from the production of renewable biofuels and polymers, to water purification, to development of nanomaterials for CO2 capture, advanced catalysis, and sensing, to hydrogels for regenerative medicine. Through their coursework and research, our M.S. students receive training in state-of-the-art experimental and modeling tools to prepare them for leadership roles in industry and government, or further academic study. Most graduates elect to pursue careers in industry, joining diverse companies throughout the United States. Others go on to rewarding careers at nonprofit and government institutions or continue their studies toward Ph.D. degrees. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Students may select one of three Master of Science in Chemical Engineering (M.S. Ch.E.) degree programs: (1) thesis, (2) non-thesis coursework, or (3) non-thesis project options. A Professional Science Master's Track in Green Chemistry and Engineering also is offered. The thesis Master of Science in Chemical Engineering (M.S. Ch.E.) degree program requires completion of 30 hours of course credit, successful defense of a thesis and typically takes two years to complete. Learning Outcomes PLO 1. an ability to conduct research or complete engineering projects. PLO 2. an ability to communicate technical issues to others. PLO 3. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to problem solving. PLO 4. an ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems. PLO 5. an understanding of ethical conduct in engineering research and/or practice.
