Texas Tech University - WCOE Department of Chemical Engineering

The Department of Chemical Engineering provides broad−based programs resulting in B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees. The Undergraduate Ch.E. Program at Texas Tech University prepares students for a profession in chemical engineering. Chemical engineers at Texas Tech are trained to transform the world with socially responsible solutions to global problems. Our undergraduate students in the Chemical Engineering Department are provided unique experiences and opportunities such as: -Hands-on-learning experience in a pilot plant facility (Morrow Energy Pilot Plant) as used in industry to design processes, refine design and scale production, optimize operating conditions, and test new ideas and products -Access to state-of-the-art laboratories (Valero Lab) to test ideas and theories at the bench scale before they are scale to pilot -Strong ties to industry and unique Alumni Mentoring Program that serves students of all levels and provides opportunities for our students to connect with industry leaders -Preparation in entrepreneurship with unique curriculum and experiences targeted to chemical engineers -Suite of opportunities for our students to become global thinkers, e.g., our students work alongside world renowned faculty and graduate students to work on groundbreaking research to solve major problems in the world The Graduate Ch.E. Program at TTU introduces students to the excitement of world−class research in Bioengineering and Nanomedicine, Soft Matter and Nanotechnology, Energy and Sustainability, Computational Modeling and Data Science, and Electrochemical Engineering. Our laboratory facilities support innovative experimental programs and our computational resources are exploited for state-of-the-art modeling activities.
