MS in Chemical Engineering

San Jose State University

The MS Chemical Engineering program, offered by the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, provides advanced study of chemical engineering topics with an emphasis on both the fundamental and applied aspects. Elective courses are also available in science, other engineering fields, and business. This broad-based, multidisciplinary educational program has proven to be an important factor for a student’s future success including leading Silicon Valley companies and in Ph.D. programs. Faculty are involved in research areas including biochemical engineering, semiconductor processing, green and alternative energy, process control, microfluidics, polymers and nanocomposites, nanotechnology, and environmental health and safety engineering, remediation, sustainability, and computational methods using AI and machine learning. Research activity is sponsored by local industries as well as by government funding agencies. The MS Chemical Engineering program welcomes students with undergraduate BS degrees in Chemical Engineering or closely related science (e.g. biology, chemistry, physics) and engineering disciplines (e.g. biochemical, biomedical, civil, materials, and mechanical).
