Curriculum
The first year of the Ph.D. Program Chemical Engineering is largely filled with 5 compulsory and 3 elective courses. The compulsory courses are so-called “core courses” in the field, namely:
- Advanced Heat & Mass transfer
- Advanced Chemical Reaction Engineering
- Advanced Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
- OUTLINE Thesis Research
- Current Research Literature
A palette of elective courses is available; students make a selection of 3, based on their scientific interests. In the following 3 years, the focus is exclusively on scientific research. This will culminate in a Ph.D. thesis that meets the highest international scientific standards, and which will be defended, by the student, in public. Hereafter, the laureate will carry the title: Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering.
Career Opportunities
Many chemical engineers work in industries whose products are sought by many manufacturing firms. For instance, they work for firms that manufacture plastic resins, which are used to increase fuel efficiency in automobiles. Increased availability of domestically produced natural gas should increase manufacturing potential in the industries employing these engineers. In addition, chemical engineering will continue to migrate into dynamic fields, such as nanotechnology, alternative energies, and biotechnology, and thereby help to sustain demand for engineering services in many manufacturing industries
