Master of Science in Chemical Engineering (MSChE)
Offering of the degree program Master of Science in Chemical Engineering at UP Los Baños generally aims to provide chemical engineers a greater opportunity for improving or developing further their capabilities in providing quality instruction and in undertaking research and development projects.
Specifically, the M.S. degree program seeks to:
- - demonstrate profound understanding of chemical engineering principles for analysis and solutions of complex chemical engineering problems;
- - apply chemical engineering principles to research and development programs of a university, research institution or a chemical process plant; and
- - demonstrate research capabilities in basic and applied chemical engineering, as they relate to other fields, like dairy food science and technology, pulp and paper technology, sugar technology, agricultural engineering, food science and engineering, biochemical engineering and environmental engineering.
To qualify for admission to the MS in Chemical Engineering curricular program, an applicant should be a graduate of B.S. in Chemical Engineering.
For non-chemical engineering graduates, the following undergraduate courses are required prior to admission in the graduate program:
ENSC 26 Computer Application in Engineering
ChE 142 Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics I
ChE 143 Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics II
ChE 145 Chemical Reaction Engineering
