Mission


• To create new knowledge in the field of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering through cutting-edge research and pass this new knowledge on to our students, our profession, and society in general.

• To educate undergraduate and graduate students in Chemical and

Biomolecular Engineering and foster cross-fertilization of allied fields. • To serve the public, academic, industrial and government communities

through consultation, collaborative efforts, entrepreneurial activity, dissemination of research results and outreach activities.

• To create a learning environment that fosters diversity in scholarship,

teaching and in student, faculty and staff composition. • To instill in our students an appreciation of, and the necessity for, life-long

learning, team work and to provide them the skills to prosper in a global economy.
