Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Chemical Engineering] From University of Wyoming

In addition, you will be taking a block of engineering classes to get your feet wet in applying science principles to solving real-life problems. Your junior and senior courses will expose you to chemical separations, reactor design, chemical and phase equilibria, process analysis and control, and elective subjects, for example in the life sciences or business.?

You are encouraged to consider an elective concentration: for example, Petroleum Engineering, Chemistry Major, Biomaterials/Polymers Research, Biomedical Engineering, which satisfies the premed and predental requirement, Biotechnology/Pharmaceuticals, Environmental, International or self-directed. Regardless of your concentration choice, your senior year will conclude with a design course that is aimed at integrating all the skills you have learned toward designing a realistic process or product. This and other activities should provide you not only with top notch problem solving skills, but also with team interaction and communication skills, which will give you a head start on your first job.

Chemical engineers with training in the life sciences are highly sought by the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical technology and bioprocessing industries to focus on problems in food processing, bioremediation, biomaterials, tissue engineering, drug delivery, drug development and the production of pharmaceuticals. Courses in this concentration include the fundamentals of molecular biology, applications of engineering principals in life science fields such as medicine and microbiology, and electives ranging from biochemistry to physiology.
