Engineering education expands frommachines and their physical reality to thought,cognition, and perception. Engineers are notlimited to just inorganic and organic lifelessmaterials anymore butmust bring their ideasand thoughts to the living. The impact of thisinteractionisnotjustonthebiologicalsciencesbut is flowing back into realms traditionallyconsidered tobepurelyphysical.Products thatmimicbiology for enhancedperformance suchasself-healingmaterialsarealreadyhere.Nan-otechnology; biotechnology; information sci-ences; and ultimately thought, cognition, andemotion are becoming the realm of engineers.These are exciting times to be an undergradu-ate engineer and participate in some of theseresearchfrontiers.

Chemical EngineeringThe School of Chemical Engineering offerscourses of study leading to the degree ofBachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering(B.S.ChE)andtheadvanceddegreesofMasterofScienceinChemicalEngineering(M.S.ChE)andDoctorofPhilosophy(Ph.D).

At the B.S. level, the objective is to pre-pare engineering professionals with a strongfunctional command of chemical engineeringfundamentals; experimental, mathematical,computational, and communication skills; andawarenessofthescopeoftheprofession,whichwill enable them to become the engineeringleadersofthefuture.

Chemical engineers rely on their knowl-edgeofmathematicsandscience—particularlychemistry—toovercometechnicalproblemsinindustryandsociety.Theyusetheirengineeringknowledge to meet challenges in manufactur-ingofbulkandcommoditychemicals;indevel-opment and production of pharmaceuticals; indiscovery and production of biomaterials andbiochemicals; in environmental protection andremediation; inmicroelectronicsmanufacturing;inthedevelopmentanddeliveryofenergy;inlaw,especiallyintellectualpropertylaw;ineducation;inpublishing;infinance;andinmedicine.Whilethechemiststudiesbasicchemicalreactions,thechemical engineer applies the results of chemi-calresearchandtransformslaboratoryprocessesinto efficient, full-scale processes or facilities.Withtheirstrongproblem-solvingskillsandfun-damental background in mathematics, physics,chemistry, andbiology, chemical engineers canseize opportunities to translate industrial prob-lemsintocompetitiveadvantages.

Chemicalengineersusetheirtechnicaltrain-ing every day, but they also must have well-developedcommunicationandteamworkskillstoworkwithmanydifferentteamsofengineers,scientists, managers, financiers, doctors, law-yers,andgovernmentofficials.

At the same time, chemical engineering isamongthebroadestofallmajorsattheUniver-sity. Chemical engineers have many interestsandskillsthataresharedbyelectricalengineers,civilengineers,biomedicalengineers,aeronauti-calengineers,andmechanicalengineers.Ontopofthesevariedskills,chemicalengineershaveastrongunderstandingofchemistryandincreas-ingly, biology.As a result, students in chemi-calengineeringexcelincourseworkwithinandoutside the chemical engineering major that

preparesthemtobeworldleadersintechnologyareaslikeenergy,theenvironment,biotechnol-ogyandmedicine,personalcareproducts,food,andhighperformancematerials.

Students who obtain Bachelor of Science(B.S.) degrees in chemical engineering havemanyprofessionaloptions.Mostgointoindus-try,wheretheyworkinmanufacturingenviron-ments. In a manufacturing position, chemicalengineers will typically work on two or threeprojects simultaneously, in collaboration withother engineers. They will improve existingmanufacturing processes, troubleshoot pro-cesses that are runningout of specification, orimplementprocesschangesthatwilldelivernewor improved products. Chemical engineers areinvolved in manufacturing high value-addedproducts,which translates intosalaries thatareusually the highest of any engineering major.SomeB.S.chemicalengineersgotolawschool,wheretheyoftenaredrawntolegalissuesasso-ciatedwithpatentsandintellectualproperty.

Chemical engineering also is one of themostdesirablemajorsforpreparationformedi-cal school, and chemical engineers are verysuccessful in the medical profession. StudentswhogoontoreceiveMasterofScience(M.S.)degrees will follow career paths that are verysimilar to B.S. graduates, with the exceptionthat they often begin their careers with addedresponsibility due to their advanced training.Studentswho receive doctoral (Ph.D.) degreeswill usually be hired to do research in indus-try or government labs or to teach and directresearchatauniversity.

To prepare graduates to succeed in gradu-ate school or professional school aswell as inindustry, the chemical engineering curriculumatPurdue emphasizes a healthyblendof theo-reticalandappliedcoursework.Atypicalcourseschedule contains basic courses in mathemat-ics, chemistry, physics, and biology, accom-panied by specialized courses to give studentsanadvancedunderstandingof theprinciplesofchemicalengineering.Itisimportanttoremem-berthatPurduegraduatesareindemandbythewide range of companies listed abovewithouthaving to take specialized coursework to pre-pare for a given industry sector.

Industrial EngineeringIndustrial engineering is a broad professionaldiscipline concerned with the analysis anddesignof systems andprocedures for organiz-ingthebasicresourcesofproduction—people,information, materials, and equipment — toachievespecificobjectives.An industrialengi-neer draws upon knowledge of mathematics,thephysical andengineering sciences, and themanagement and behavioral sciences to func-tion as a problem-solver, innovator, designer,coordinator, and system integrator. Industrialengineerspracticeinallphasesofmanufactur-ing industries, service industries, and govern-mentalagencies.

The complexity of modern industrial andservice organizations and the emphasis onincreasedeffectiveness,efficiency,andproduc-tivity have led to a growing need for indus-trial engineering analysis and design and anincreased demand for industrial engineeringgraduates. This increased demand recognizesthemodernindustrialengineer’sversatilityandresponsiveness to the challenges of a rapidlychangingsociety.Althoughindustrialengineer-ing is a comparatively new professional area,havingdevelopedduringthelastfourdecades,itisalreadyoneofthenation’slargestandmostrapidlygrowingengineeringprofessions.

Theindustrialengineeringprogrampreparesmen and women for careers in all phases ofindustrialengineeringandenablesthemtoper-form othermanagerial and technical functionsthat require scientific and engineering back-grounds. By combining the study of science,mathematics,engineeringfundamentals,design,andmanagementprinciples,anindustrialengi-neering education provides a unique back-ground and a sound basis for lifelong careerdevelopment in engineering practice, research,ormanagement.

TheSchoolofIndustrialEngineeringofferseducational programs leading to the degree ofBachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering(B.S.IE). The two undergraduate programs ofstudy—theregularindustrialengineeringcur-riculumand thehonors curriculum—providestudentswithabroadscientificandengineeringbaseandcontainasequenceofcoursesinmath-ematics, physics, chemistry, and the engineer-ing sciences. These courses are accompaniedby industrial engineering courses covering theareas of manufacturing process and facilitiesdesign, engineering statistics, engineering cost

analysis,work analysis and design, operationsresearch, process control, production systemdesign, computer utilization and informationsystems,andsystemsanalysisanddesign.

Duringthejuniorandsenioryears,15semes-terhoursofelectivecoursesenablethestudentto study in the following areas of specializa-tion:humanfactorsengineering,manufacturingsystems engineering, operations research andsystems engineering, production and manage-ment systems engineering, and other areas ofconcentration.Inaddition,18hoursofelectivecourses in the social sciences and humanitiesareincluded.

The undergraduate program in industrialengineering is accredited by the EngineeringAccreditationCommission ofABET Inc., for-merlynamedtheAccreditationBoardforEngi-neeringandTechnology.

•Adaptableinachangingenvironment.•Entrepreneurialandintrapreneurial.•Curiousandpersistentcontinuouslearners.To achieve these objectives and outcomes, theSchool of Mechanical Engineering has devel-oped a comprehensive, integrated curriculumtoprovidestudentswithabroadbaseonwhichtobuildanengineeringcareer.Itisfoundedonbasicsciences,includingphysics,chemistry,andmathematics; computer science and computergraphics;andEnglishcompositionandcommu-nications.

To this foundation, a core of engineeringscience and design courses are added in threemain curriculum stems: mechanical sciences(statics,dynamics,mechanicsofmaterials,andstructures and properties of materials), infor-mation technologies (electric circuits andelec-tronics, instrumentation, systemmodeling, andcontrols),andthermal-fluidsciences(thermody-namics,fluidmechanics,andheattransfer).

Throughout the core curriculum, studentsgain extensive laboratory and computer expe-rience via modern facilities in all basic areasof the discipline. In addition, the curriculumprovides an integrated innovation, design, andentrepreneurship experience. This experience— which begins with a sophomore-level cor-nerstone course and culminates with a senior-levelcapstonecourse—emphasizesinnovation,problem-solving, leadership, teamwork, com-munication skills, practical hands-on experi-encewithvariousproductdesignprocesses,andentrepreneurship.
