Description: The chemical industry globally produces thousands of products required by people today. Chemical engineers are key members of all branches and activities of this industry.

Chemical engineers deal with a variety of areas: energy (power plants, renewable, solar), water treatment (desalination, wastewater treatment), polymers, microelectronics, nanotechnology, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, petrochemicals, security, environmental quality and more. The chemical engineer is involved in related processes from initial design to the finished product. Change is at the heart of chemical engineering. It changes structure and changes of materials to arrive at useful or valuable insights about characteristics or actions.... [-]

Drought, erosion, floods and poor land and water management constitute major threats to food production in large parts of the world. The BSc programme International Land and Water Management addresses these problems. Students combine knowledge of engineering, environmental and social sciences, study the roles of various stakeholders involved and design land and water management improvement plans. The consequences of interventions such as dams, terracing or irrigation systems on relevant stakeholders are examined in regions spanning the entire globe: from Thailand to Ethiopia and from Peru to the Netherlands.

The bachelor's programme (BSc) in International Land and Water Management is a three-year programme. A variety of teaching methods is used, ranging from lectures, tutorials and computer-based learning, to practical field work and excursions both in the Netherlands and abroad. Students often work in small groups on certain topics. The programme, therefore, offers practical, applied and fundamental (theoretical) knowledge.... [-]

Program Contact: Ronald Mattis. From your cell phone to your bowl of cereal, almost everything you touch has an engineer behind it. Would you like to be one of those engineers? Would you like to touch the world? Our engineering major will help you get there. In our program, you'll learn all kinds of interesting concepts. And, you'll get to do some pretty neat things. You'll build a contraption around an egg - yes, an egg. Then you'll drop it off the roof of Fisher Hall. The idea, of course, is to build the right contraption to keep the egg from breaking. You'll start your bachelor of science degree in engineering on our campus, successfully completing the prerequisites for the junior year, and completing the degree at the Swanson School of Engineering at the Pittsburgh campus. As an entering freshman, you must meet one of the following requirements to be admitted directly to the engineering program at Pitt-Bradford. 1. SAT Math score of 500 (old test) or 520 (new test) or better, or 2. SAT Math score of 450 (old test) or 490 (new test) better and high school GPA of 3.25 or better.... [-]

The Department of Electrical Engineering offers a B.S. degree in electrical engineering which will equip students with basic competence and job skills needed to design, develop, and operate systems which generate and use electronic signals. These technologies include machinery, electronics, communications, and computers.

As a profession, electrical engineering demands the individual to work with others in supporting disciplines to achieve common goals. Design is central to the profession and is integrated throughout the curriculum. The design experience is supported by concepts related to reliability, maintainability, and product value. The student is encouraged to approach central technical issues with an increased awareness of logistical, ethical, and social implications. Respect for the safety of persons and property is integral to the electrical engineering curriculum.... [-]

Chemical Engineering applies chemical, physical, and biological processes to convert materials to more valuable products or useful forms of energy.

The role of a chemical engineer is to conceptualize, design, develop, control and operate those processes so that they are profitable, safe, efficient, and environmentally acceptable. Chemical Engineering education is unique for its strong emphasis on building up the ability to apply a system's approach to problem-solving, to synthesize useful results, to form productive partnerships with other professions, and to apply principles from a broad range of scientific disciplines. Completion of the undergraduate Chemical Engineering program at Hampton provides the basis for continuous professional growth or graduate studies in Chemical Engineering, and for admission to professional schools such as medical, law, or business....

The undergraduate program objectives of the Mechanical and Materials Engineering Department is to produce graduates who, within a few years of graduation:

Timber industry engineers are welcome in the primary and secondary processing of wood (sawmills, furniture factories, wood construction companies, etc.), in research institutes and universities globally.

The Bio and Process Engineering bachelor's degree programme combines basic bioengineering and process engineering methods to create biotechnological and chemical products.

More than half of German industrial production requires procedural or biotechnological processes. Our graduates will work in fields such as the foodstuffs and construction materials industries, pharmaceuticals, medical engineering, energy, fine chemicals, apparatus and plant construction and environmental protection. The connections between these very different sectors become clear when the processes (flow charts) for each individual process are constructed. The same procedural steps are taken again and again. Thus the same membrane process is used to remove the alcohol from beer which is used for the blood of patients with kidney disease.... [-]

SAU Engineering is housed in a dedicated, state of the art facility near a newly renovated dormitory reserved in part for science majors.
