The Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas
A&M University is a highly ranked program offering graduate
students a unique educational and research experience. All of the
Ph.D. students in the department are supported by their research
advisors with a generous stipend that includes medical benefits
(note that the cost of living in Texas is much cheaper than in
other states).
Research within the department is highly interdisciplinary in
nature with students interacting closely with faculty. Visiting
scholars, industrial partners, and collaborations with other
departments create a simulating environment for research.
State-of-the-art computer labs and research equipment are
available throughout the department providing students and faculty
the tools to perform high-impact, challenging research.
The department offers Master of Engineering, Master of Science,
and Doctor of Philosophy programs. All of these programs provide
the student with an advanced understanding of fundamental subjects
such as transport phenomena, reaction kinetics, and thermodynamics
integrated with mathematics and science. Additionally, research
forms a core component of the M.S. and the Ph.D. degree. The
research that students in the department are working on ranges from
highly applied research in the areas of biomass utilization,
process safety, and hydrocarbon processing to very fundamental
research in nanotechnology, life sciences, and molecular
simulation. Students learn complex problem solving and
computational skills that will aid them both in their graduate
research and future careers. Degree requirements can be found in
the Graduate Student
Handbook.
