Department of Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering
This department has a focus on research and education in environmental engineering science, energy systems, and chemical engineering. The department provides integrated and multidisciplinary programs of scientific education. Our mission is accomplished by:
- Instilling a tradition of “life-long learning"
- A curriculum of fundamental education coupled with application in an advanced focal area and strengthened by our breadth in other disciplinary areas
- Participation in cutting-edge research with faculty and industrial partners
- Access to state-of-the-art facilities and instrumentation
The basic degree is an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering. Graduate degrees (Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy) in Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering are offered by the department. Planning is currently underway to initiate Professional Masters Degree Programs.
The department has 120 undergraduate students, 70 doctoral students, and 1,894 alumni. There are 14 tenure track faculty members, with searches for new tenure-track/tenured faculty currently under way. We invite you to browse the pages of this site and learn more about us.
The vision is to establish Washington University in St. Louis as a hub for environmental and energy research, education, innovation and action - and create the next generation of global leaders.
