Program Overview

Program Overview

The Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department offers a fully online, 12-credit advanced engineering certificate program in Process Engineering. Process engineering is the merger of fundamental engineering science and knowledge along with empirical information to develop and optimize processes.

Program Details

• The program is primarily grounded in the discipline of Chemical Engineering and its core areas, including thermodynamics, transport phenomenon, and kinetics.
• The fundamental knowledge for Process Engineering is encoded in mathematical models, whereas the empirical information is represented by data science/machine learning models.
• To be an effective process engineer, one must develop a familiarity with both of these areas, as well as the ability to integrate them.
• The certificate program introduces students to these concepts within the context of real-world case studies.

Application and Admission

• All students apply and are admitted to the UConn Graduate School.
• Credits earned within the certificate can be applied towards a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.).
