Undergraduate Degree Programs

Plans are currently underway to develop an undergraduate major leading to the B.S. degree in NanoEngineering by 2011. The B.S. Program in Chemical Engineering (CENG) is accredited by the Engineering Accredidation Commission of the Accredidation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET/EAC).

At UCSD, Chemical Engineering is an ABET-accredited interdisciplinary program housed within the NanoEngineering Department. The Program is made of faculty from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, the Department of Bioengineering and the Department of NanoEngineering. The curricula at both the undergraduate and graduate levels are designed to support and foster chemical engineering as a profession that interfaces engineering and all aspects of basic sciences (physics, chemistry, and biology). As of Fall 2008, the Department of NanoEngineering has taken over administration of the B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering.
