the undergraduate
advisor for the department
of chemical engineering.
Polymers and Materials
The Polymers and Materials minor is an interdisciplinary minor and includes courses from Chemical Engineering, Ch Emistry, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics.
The goal of the minor is to provide students with knowledge and skills in the polymer and materials sciences so that they are better prepared to enter relevant industries, including semiconductor electronics, plastics and rubber, and advanced composites.
These industries are important in the Texas industrial base and also form the basis for major US export surpluses and for US defense industries.
Bio-Engineering
The Bioengineering Minor is an interdisciplinary minor and includes courses from Biology, Chemical Engineering, Ch Emistry, and Microbiology.
The goal of the minor is to provide students with sufficient knowledge and skills in biology and in engineering to prepare them to enter graduate research programs in biomedical and bioChemical engineering, including MD/PhD programs.
In addition, engineering students completing the minor are well prepared to serve as process engineers for specialty biomedical and bioChemical companies. The Bioengineering Minor can also be used by premed students to prepare them for medical school.
