Department Web site: www.chee.iit.edu
The Department offers leading edge research and
education programs in Chemical Engineering, Biological
Engineering, and Environmental Engineering. These
programs are aimed to prepare engineers for the technological
challenges of the 21st century, by providing the
students with:
• Fundamental knowledge and design capability in
chemical, biological, and environmental engineering,
food process engineering, and pharmaceutical
engineering.
• Advanced research programs in core competency
areas.
• Understanding of ethical, economic and social issues
that influence technology choices.
• Leadership and communication skills.
• Life long learning capabilities.
The objective of the undergraduate program is to educate
chemical engineering students, to prepare them for
career in professional practice and/or for advanced studies
at the graduate level. The program specifically aims

to develop a new breed of engineers who are not only well
schooled in the basics and fundamentals of chemical and
biological engineering, but who also possess the skills
necessary for success in today’s workplace. In recognition
of the recent shift of the chemical engineering profession
into a more prominent involvement in biotechnology and
biological engineering, the department has redesigned
the undergraduate curriculum in order to ensure that its
graduates will possess additional knowledge and skills
in biology and biological engineering as predicated by
the changing needs of industry. Specific chemical and
biological engineering outcomes are detailed at
http://www.chee.iit.edu/undergrad/objectives.htm.
A B.S. degree is offered in Chemical Engineering. M.S.,
Professional Master’s, and Ph.D. degree programs are
offered in chemical and environmental engineering. A
Professional Master’s degree is offered in biological engineering.
M.S. and Professional Master’s degree programs
are also offered in food processing engineering as well as a
combination of chemical engineering/computer science
degree, and an internet-based Master of Gas Engineering.
The Department also offers a B.S./M.D. program in engineering
and Medicine (see page 142) and a combined
undergraduate/graduate law program (see page 141).
