Courses are designed to provide a mastery of chemical engineering fundamentals. Courses include: Chemical Reaction Engineering, Process Control Theory, Separation Processes, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer & Fluid Dynamics, Process Design, and Biochemical Engineering.

Master of Science in Civil Engineering
The MS in Civil Engineering program stresses modern engineering methods for the solution of detailed and complex problems and emphasizes the concepts of analysis and design coupled with engineering judgment. Fields of concentration are environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water resources. Courses include: Hazardous Waste Management, Transportation Planning and Operation, Foundation Engineering, Bridge Design, Earthquake Engineering, and Open and Closed Hydraulics.

Master of Science in Computer Engineering
In conjunction with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the MS in Computer Engineering this program embraces a strong faculty-student interaction where students can develop greater technical competence in specialty areas, including digital systems and VLSI design, software engineering, computer systems architecture and design, and digital and image processing. More than 30 courses include: Intelligent Systems Engineering, Advanced Computer Architecture, Multimedia Systems, VLSI Design, Digital Signal Processing, Communication Networks, and Software Reliability.

Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
As a result of the MS in Electrical Engineering program, students can gain a greater technical competence in specialty areas. These areas include communications and signal processing, microwave systems, photonics, and antennas, solid state devices and electronics, intelligent systems and control, and power systems and control. More than 35 advanced courses include: Topics in Digital Communications, Control Systems Engineering, Power Electronics, Antenna Theory and Design, and Wireless Communications.

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
The MS in Mechanical Engineering program is design-oriented and industry-related, for the practicing mechanical engineer. Courses provide foundation in basic theory of modern engineering methods and problem-solving skills. Courses include: Finite Elements, Control, Computer Manufacturing, Numerical Control and Robotic Applications, and Computational Fluid Mechanics.

Master of Science in Sustainable Engineering
Following the University's strong commitment to sustainability as stated in the President's Climate Commitment, this interdisciplinary MS in Sustainable Engineering will allow students to take a set of core courses along with electives in a track of their choosing. Current tracks include sustainable energy, sustainable water resources, and sustainable environment.

Master of Science in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering
The interdisciplinary MS in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering program concentrates on the treatment and disposal of traditional and hazardous contaminate wastes for environmental engineers, surface and groundwater hydrology, and storm water management for water resource engineers. Courses include: Physical/Chemical/Geological Treatment Processes, Aquatic Chemistry, Microbiology, Residual Management, Contemporary Hydrology, River Behavior and Regulation, and Watershed Modeling.
