The standard option prepares students for a career
in the wide variety of chemical process industries
or for graduate engineering studies. Technical electives
allow emphasis on energy, materials, process systems,
environment, or other areas of interest.
The premedical/biomedical engineering option emphasizes
preparation for medical school, and/or a focus on
engineering related to human health and medicine.
Examples of topic areas include tissue engineering,
drug delivery, cell interactions, and medical biosensors.
The biotechnology option emphasizes engineering of
biological systems not necessarily related to human
health and medicine. Examples include: biochemical
processing for manufacture of pharmaceuticals, chemicals,
and fuels; fermentation processes; and genetic engineering.
Accelerated
Dual B.S / M.S. Degrees
these programs allow students to
obtain both the Bachelor of Science and Master of
Science degrees in as few as five
years. Twelve credits of coursework are simultaneously
counted in both programs. These programs can be entered
at the start of studies at OU or during the first
three years of the B.S. program.
Students completing these programs will receive
two degrees: the BS in Chemical Engineering
and the MS in Bioengineering. This program is
accelerated because students may double-count (i.e.,
simultaneously count in both the BS and MS Programs)
12 hours. Students must complete an M.S. thesis
in the field of bioengineering. This M.S. degree
opens opportunities for research and development jobs
in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and biomedical
fields.
