 Graduate work for the Ph.D., M.E., and M.S. degrees in chemical engi-
neering emphasizes these areas: (1) Chemical Engineering Science-transport
phenomena, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, kinetics, microstructure of matter,
and materials science; (2) Chemical Engineering Systems-chemical reaction
engineering, process control, process dynamics, optimization, separations proc-
esses; and (3) Interdisciplinary Chemical Engineering-energy conversion and
fuel cells, polymer science, microelectronics, process economics, biofluid me-
chanics, and bioengineering.
 Beyond the Graduate School requirements, admission to graduate work in
chemical engineering depends upon the qualifications of the student, whose rec-
ord and recommendations are carefully and individually studied. During regis-
tration week each graduate student registering for the first time is counseled to
develop an initial study program best suited for his needs. The results of
a brief examination covering the field of chemical engineering are also utilized
by the Graduate Committee to guide the student. As a consequence, his pro-
gram may include some undergraduate courses, if needed, to prepare him
for graduate course work.
 The program of all students will involve research experience through the
courses CHE 696, CHE 699, or CHE 799. All new graduate students are
expected to become proficient in computer programming during their first
quarter on campus.
