Dr. Ju's Message Chemical Biomolecular Engineering at Akron has a long tradition of excellence in education and research. Our goal is to prepare our students with the necessary skills so that they can contribute to a highly technical global society through their professional careers. The philosophy of the Chemical Engineering faculty is to provide a strong theoretical foundation supported by practical applications of that knowledge. Graduates from the 1998-2001 classes are employed in various sects of industry: polymer (40%), process instrumentation and control (25%), environmental (15%), and biotech or other areas (20%). A significant number of our graduates also hold a managerial position or higher in the chemical industry. This clearly demonstrates that our students’ successes are reflected in their career growth. Our faculty members have been frequently recognized for their excellence in research and teaching scholarship; all ten faculty members are currently receiving support from National Science Foundation, which funds only excellent projects of national significance, for their endeavors.
