Our mission at the Northeastern University Department of Chemical Engineering 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. For example, we spent the
last year talking with industry to determine what they would want to see in MS students. These interactions led to the reconfiguration of our MS in chemical engineering program. Students choose their path (research, sustainability in chemical engineering, or biosystems) and gain depth in how chemical engineering principles are foundational to solving problems in these areas. We are nationwide leaders in utilizing inclusive teaching and mastery grading in our core undergraduate courses to improve student learning. Our doctoral students are participating in the LEADERS program to integrate leadership and professional skills with a research project in industry. At every level, our students learn that leaders in engineering will address glo
