At the Northeastern University Department of Chemical Engineering, our mission is simple: to educate and train students in chemical engineering practice. As we continue to grow and expand the department, our efforts to best prepare our students evolve. This year, we launched the Pharmaceutical Engineering MS program in collaboration with the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences to directly apply engineering principles to biopharma. The implementation of inclusive teaching and mastery grading in our core undergraduate courses has shifted the classroom paradigm from lecture to learning. Our doctoral students are also getting hands-on experiences through cooperative education and internships that supplement their classes and research. At every level, our students learn that leaders in engineering will address global challenges that may not yet exist, so diversity of experience and thought is critical for their future.
