B.S., MS., Professional Master’s and Ph.D. degree programs
are offered in both chemical and environmental engineering.
M.S. and Professional Master’s degree programs are also
offered in food process engineering. Among the innovative
programs available are a 4.5-year double B.S. degree in
chemical and environmental engineering and a five-year
Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering/Master of
Environmental Engineering combination. The department
also offers B.S./M.D. programs in engineering and medicine
(see page 110) and a combined undergraduate/graduate law
program (see pages 109).

Special Program Note for the Chemical and Environmental Engineering Programs
The Interprofessional Project Experience from chemical and environmental engineering programs.
IPRO 496 students attend one lecture weekly on process design
Students in the chemical and environmental engineering pro- and a two-hour meeting with the expanded IPRO group
grams must be enrolled in six credits of Interprofessional and their project adviser. The expanded IPRO group consists
Projects according to the following format: of the IPRO 496 students, IPRO 296 students and students
from other academic units who have registered for the
IPRO 296 Introduction to IPROs (1 credit)
IPRO 397 Interprofessional Project (3 credits)
IPRO 496 Design IPRO (2 credits)
IPRO 397 provides the opportunity to enroll in an IPRO
offered by any academic unit. IPRO 296 and 496 create
a package to accomplish interdisciplinary teamwork for
process design. All project groups will have students

relevant IPRO 297/397/497 sections (3 credit hours). IPRO
296 students provide support to the specific design activity
through literature survey, data generation and use of design
software as appropriate. IPRO 496 students are responsible
for developing and designing the process. IPRO 297/397/497
students enrich the project by extending the work into their
areas of specialization.
