Message From The Chair

Welcome to Rowan University Chemical Engineering!

Over the last 25 years, Rowan Chemical Engineering has established a strong undergraduate program that offers students an unparalleled, immersive learning experience. This experience  couples classroom learning in small class sizes with hands-on engineering clinics that solve practical problems and build teaming skills. As we look to the next 25 years and beyond, we are excited about our path forward. We will ensure excellence in our undergraduate program by continually reflecting on and refining our educational pedagogies. We will further look to expand our graduate programs.  More masters level opportunities will be offered for career development that match industry and professional needs. At the doctoral level, new talent will be infused to engage more students in new research areas in energy and sustainability, advanced materials and manufacturing, health and biological sciences, and process systems and discovery. Personally, I am thrilled to be part of the next growth trajectory of our department, and thankful to have a tremendously talented and dedicated team of faculty, staff, and students who would help make this possible.
