Continuously accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) since 1954.

Nation's best record in national chemical engineering student design contest problem; no other school even comes close

Many opportunities for undergraduates to work on research projects with professors.

Special curriculum options with outstanding laboratories available in biochemical engineering, environmental engineering, food science, and polymer science, and more options on the way.

Faculty have won many college and university awards for outstanding teaching.

Chemical engineering courses taught by helpful and approachable professors.

Small class sizes in chemical engineering lectures and laboratories to promote student/faculty interaction.

Many scholarships available for high-achieving or needy students.

ROSES (Residential Option for Science & Engineering Students) provides a living and learning community for freshmen engineers.

Cooperative Engineering Education Program that provides students with well-paying jobs and hands-on experience in business and industry within Michigan and throughout the United States.

Diversity Programs Office that serves as a resource for underrepresented students in the College of Engineering.

Historically high percentage of women students in chemical engineering (approximately 35%), the highest in the College of Engineering.

14 faculty members engaged in a wide range of fundamental and applied research.

Special departmental research and teaching strengths in biotechnology and materials, including polymers.

Active engineering student organizations that promote student involvement (e.g. American Institute for Chemical Engineers, Omega Chi Epsilon Honorary Society, National Society for Black Engineers, Society of Women Engineers, International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers).

Placement personnel who assist students in career decision-making and for preparation for entry into the job market.

High School Engineering Institute is an exploratory summer program for high school sophomores and juniors.

Faculty earn more patents than any other department in the University.

Several of our faculty, led by Dr. Mark Worden, have put together a unique interdisciplinary laboratory course with National Science Foundation support. This course is based on teams of mostly undergraduate chemical engineers, microbiologists and chemists united to solve biotechnology-related problems.

We have great students - Jason Fuller, a junior chemical engineering student, won a national Goldwater Scholarship for 1999. Brian Ngo, also a junior chemical engineering student, won the same scholarship in 2000. Megan Dennis won a 2003 Goldwater Scholarship. Timothy Howes and Stu Kaltz received 2005 Goldwater Scholarships. This is the most prestigious undergraduate science and engineering scholarship in the country-only about 300 students are selected across the entire US.

MSU students have also been awarded prestigious Churchill Fellowships for graduate study at Cambridge University in England. Less than 15 Churchill Fellowships are awarded across the country each year. Jason Fuller won a Churchill Fellowship in 2000. Timothy Howes won a 2006 Churchill Fellowship.

MSU students also are recognized for National Science Graduate Fellowships. Graduates of 2003, Thomas Adams III and Stephanie Teich-McGoldrick each received a 2004 NSF graduate fellowship. Rosemary Kanasty and Timothy Howes were awarded 2006 NSF graduate fellowships.
