Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
Chemical engineers take raw materials and develop them into products we use every day. At Ohio State, we educate our students to design, develop and operate chemical processes by which chemicals, petroleum products, food, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods can be produced economically and safely. Undergraduates have the option of studying bio-related aspects of chemical engineering as well. Our program offers a solid foundation in both the theoretical and applied aspects of chemical engineering.
Chemical and biomolecular engineering faculty often collaborate with researchers in other departments, and many participate in multidisciplinary research teams to conduct cutting-edge research in bioinformatics, gene therapy, cardiovascular science, intelligent materials, microfabrication, nanotechnology, complex fluids and environmentally benign manufacturing.
Opportunities for Students
While Ohio State is a large institution with a wide variety of courses, an extensive computer networking system and many exciting scholastic and social opportunities, we are focused on the student experience. Once students are enrolled in their chosen major, most classes will be in the same building, and they will be known by faculty and staff as part of the engineering family. This provides students the best of both worlds - the facilities and opportunities of a large environment, with the individual attention of a smaller department.
