Students with undergraduate preparation in physics, chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, and related fields may take advantage of a special two-year program leading directly to the master’s degree in chemical engineering. This program enables such students to avoid having to take all undergraduate courses in the bachelor’s degree program. Doctoral Degrees The Ph.D. and D.E.S. degrees have essentially the same requirements. All students in a doctoral program must (1) earn satisfactory grades in the three core courses (CHEN E4010, E4110, CHAP E4120); (2) pass a qualifying exam; (3) defend a proposal of research within twelve months of passing the qualifying exam; (4) defend their thesis; and (5) satisfy course requirements beyond the three core courses. For detailed requirements, please consult engineering 2011–2012

Students with degrees in related fields such as physics, chemistry, biochemistry, and others are encouraged to apply to this highly interdisciplinary program. Areas of Concentration After satisfying the core requirement of Chemical process analysis (CHEN E4010), Transport phenomena, III (CHEN E4110), and Statistical mechanics (CHAP E4120), chemical engineering graduate students are free to choose their remaining required courses as they desire, subject to their research adviser’s approval. However, a number of areas of graduate concentration are suggested below, with associated recommended courses. Each concentration provides students with the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge about a particular research field of central importance to the department. Graduate students outside the department are very welcome to participate in these course concentrations, many of which are highly interdisciplinary. The department strongly encourages interdepartmental dialogue at all levels. Science and Engineering of Polymers and Soft Materials. Soft materials include diverse organic media with supramolecular structure having scales in the range 1–100 nm. Their smallscale structure imparts unique, useful macroscopic properties. Examples include polymers, liquid crystals, colloids, and emulsions. Their “softness” refers to the fact that they typically flow or distort easily in response to moderate shear and other external forces. They exhibit a great many unique and useful macroscopic properties stemming from the variety of fascinating microscopic structures, from the simple orientational order of a nematic liquid crystal to the full periodic “crystalline” order of block copolymer mesophases. Soft materials provide ideal testing grounds for such fundamental concepts as the interplay between order and dynamics or topological defects. They are of primary importance to the paint, food, petroleum, and other industries as well as a variety of advanced materials and devices. In addition, most biological materials are soft, so that understanding of soft materials is very relevant to improving our understanding of cellular function and therefore human pathologies. At Columbia Chemical Engineering, we focus on several unique aspects of soft matter, such as their special surface and interfacial properties. This concentration is similar in thrust to that of the “Biophysics and Soft Matter” concentration, except here there is greater emphasis on synthetic rather than biological soft matter, engineering 2011–2012
