Chemistry & Biochemistry
DepartmentsOverview
The mission of our department is to educate students in materials science and biochemical engineering to become independent learners who can think critically and creatively.
There are five fundamental subdisciplines within chemistry: analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. The department offers these chemistry courses and chemical engineering courses as well.
The curriculum is carefully designed to allow students to acquire a broad range of fundamental knowledge and skills in materials science and biochemical engineering through lectures along with relevant laboratory activities that are a distinct and central role in the curriculum. Graduation research is the cumulation of hard work over five years. Students join a faculty member’s lab and complete a year-long research project. We also provide courses including Chemistry and Data Science and English for Science designed for students to develop qualitative and quantitative problem-solving skills as well as scientific communication skills.
