As a chemical and biomolecular engineer, you will transform matter or energy into forms that benefit human beings. You might design clean energy solutions, innovate new solutions to biomedical issues, perform research and development in pharmaceuticals, develop new materials for spaceships, or create new ways to feed the world’s growing population. The foundation you will build in chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics – and your collaborations involving engineering disciplines such as computer science, and biomedical, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering – will prepare you to rise to the challenges that face both the modern-day chemical and biomolecular engineer and the world. Those challenges — hallmarks of the early 21st century — include environmental integrity, limited resources, and human health and safety. As a Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering major at the University of New Haven, you will: Learn to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. Design and conduct experiments in state-of-the-art laboratories, then analyze and interpret data. Master modern techniques, skills, software, and engineering tools. Design systems, components, and processes to meet specific needs and comply with realistic economic, environmental, social, ethical, and political restraints. Learn the fundamentals of thermodynamics, reactor design, process controls, and fluid dynamics. Pursue research projects in conjunction with University of New Haven faculty. Personalize coursework and focus in specific areas, such as biotechnology, chemistry, sustainable energy, and environmental engineering. Gain hands-on experience through lab experience, internships, and study abroad opportunities. Participate in a Senior Design course, where you will complete a sponsored team project using current chemical engineering technology. Have the opportunity to join on-campus clubs and organizations, including University of New Haven chapters of the American Chemical Society and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers as well as the Forensic Science and Chemistry Club. The B.S. program in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org . The Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering program is challenging, but for those genuinely interested, it develops the depth of knowledge required to embark on a fascinating and satisfying professional career in industry or government or to continue study at the graduate level. The first chemical & biomolecular engineering course, taken in the spring of the first year, is the beginning of a well-integrated sequence that builds on the multidisciplinary foundation. Each chemical & biomolecular engineering course contributes uniquely to the development of skills in problem solving, communication, computer usage, and engineering analysis and design. Several common themes weave throughout these courses, including safety, concern for the environment, sustainability, and practical application of knowledge to real-world problems. A comprehensive laboratory experience is integrated into the program, including work in chemistry as well as chemical & biomolecular engineering. This laboratory experience contributes to these educational objectives through the use of modern, industrial-type data acquisition and control instruments on bench-scale to pilot-scale process equipment. A two-semester sequence of capstone design work in the senior year enables the student to synthesize and focus on the entire curriculum. Choice of chemistry and biology electives along with several engineering or science electives allow flexibility in the program, to include areas of special interest.
