The Department of Chemical Engineering continues to innovate and grow. Since 2012, our graduate student enrollment rose 143% and undergraduate student enrollment increased 58%. We have also hired highly accomplished tenured/tenure-track faculty, several who have been recently recognized with Young Investigator Awards and National Science Foundation CAREER Awards, as well as selected as fellows of their professional societies. Additionally, our department has received $20 million in research funding since 2016, while research expenditures increased 90%.
The U.S. News and World Report has recognized our success; since 2012, our graduate rankings experienced an unprecedented and significant increase. It is clear that our impact in chemical engineering education and research is poised for continual growth in the years ahead.
