Overview

A master's degree, either M.E. or M.S., fulfills several roles in the overall scheme of engineering education. Its first -- and surely its most important -- function is to enable students to solidify and enhance the knowledge and skills developed in the ever more demanding undergraduate curriculum. Another purpose is to provide students with an opportunity to carry out significant research or project work independently, with the advice and guidance of a faculty member. Finally, a master's degree program permits students to undertake some specialization.

The Chemical Engineering program at University of Virginia offers such opportunities in a number of fundamental areas of chemical engineering (fluid mechanics, mass transfer, thermodynamics, reaction engineering, molecular simulation) and in various aspects of applied chemistry and chemical technology, biotechnology, biochemical engineering, catalysis, electrochemistry, environmental engineering, materials, rheology and surface science
