Chemical Engineering - South Dakota School of Mines and Technology

Chemical Engineering from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is a Campus Master Chemical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering offers programs of study leading to the master degree in chemical engineering (ChE). Students may consider either a thesis or non-thesis executive program option. A student who elects the thesis option will be required to present a thesis based upon an original investigation for which 6 credits must be earned toward a total requirement of 30 credits in an approved program of study. For the non-thesis executive program option, a student must earn 32 credits in an approved program of study and complete a special project. In the non-thesis executive program, which is oriented primarily toward industrial needs, students take at least one course in technology management as part of their required courses for the M.S. in chemical engineering . Chemical engineers with a M.S. degree obtain graduate education that provides them with an indepth understanding of the chemistry, mathematics, and physical laws describing systems at both molecular and macroscopic levels. With this knowledge, the chemical engineer can participate in interdisciplinary research, development, and implementation of new and improved technologies in areas such as: biotechnology, catalysis, nanotechnology, chemical technology, energy, environmental processes, as well as manufacturing of highperformance materials for electronic and structural applications. A student who does not have a bachelor?s degree in chemical engineering will be expected to take some additional undergraduate chemical engineering courses to provide a solid ChE foundation.
