    About

    Emphasis area at bachelor of science level in biochemical engineering

    Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with changing the composition, energy content and state of aggregation of materials. As a chemical engineering student, you will consider the fundamental properties and nature of matter (chemistry), the forces that act on matter (physics) and the precise expressions of the relationships between them (mathematics). Extensive use is made of computers in the application of these sciences to engineering problems.

    As a chemical engineer, you may study ways in which pure water can be obtained from the sea; design processes to produce fertilizers, rubber, fibers, and fuels; or team up with other engineers and scientists to develop specialized polymeric materials for use in artificial arms, legs and other human organs. You may be instrumental in finding supplemental food sources for man, such as protein from petroleum, wood, or the sea. You might help develop new processes for the application of biochemistry, energy conservation, or environmental control, such as reducing undesirable substances in the air. Or, you might have a hand in the creation of strong lightweight materials to be used in aircraft construction. Your opportunities will be unlimited.

    At Missouri S&T, you will have laboratories available which offer training in qualitative and quantitative analysis, basic organic and physical chemistry, physics, unit operations, biochemical engineering, design and automatic process control.

    Your studies will give you a broad technical basis with an emphasis on material balances, energy balances, separation processes, rate processes, unit operations, process economics, safety, and design.

    Among its facilities, the department features digital data acquisition and control equipment for research and instruction which allows simultaneous utilization of the system by several people. A full complement of hardware exists for input and output of signals to and from process equipment and instrumentation. The campus computer network makes available a wide variety of professional software. Also included is equipment to measure thermodynamic and physical properties, study biochemical engineering processes, polymers, surface phenomena, fluid mechanics, membranes, chemical kinetics and diffusion.

    Mission Statement

    2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
    3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
    4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions on global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
    5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
    6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions
    7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    • Missouri S&T seeks international students who have a strong probability of succeeding at the university. Admission is selective and based on a combination of secondary school core curriculum (a set of required secondary school classes), ACT and/or SAT composite scores (if available), grade point average (GPA), and class rank percentile. (For non-ranking schools, GPA will be used to evaluate your application).
    • International students must fulfill the same admission requirements as domestic applicants, but standardized test scores (ACT or SAT) are not required but should be submitted if available. Meeting the minimum requirements, however, does not guarantee admission, nor does it guarantee admission to a particular program. Missouri S&T appreciates well-rounded students and evaluates each application individually.
    • In addition, international students must fulfill Missouri S&T's English language proficiency requirement. To view a list of countries who are exempt from providing English test scores, please click here. Minimum English proficiency test score requirements are 80 for TOEFL, 6.5 for IELTS, 58 for PTE, or 105 for Duolingo. We also accept SAT English score minimum of 500.
    • Missouri S&T may request that you provide an official transcript evaluation from the World Education Services (WES). If this is required, it will be visible on your application checklist after submission of your application, or an admissions representative will contact you to request it.

Next, you activate your account and change your password. Note your email and password you entered for your account, as you will use this to log into the application portal to complete your application or check your status.
          • Start a new application and select the following:
            • Application type: Undergraduate Application
            • Application category: First-Time College Student
            • Degree level: Bachelor’s Degree
            • Area of Study: Select the major you wish to pursue. Please select a specific area of study – do not select Undecided or Undecided Engineering, since upon admission your specific degree program will need to be listed on your I-20 or DS-2019.
          • Enter personal background information, including:
            • Your permanent and mailing addresses: note that as an international student, your permanent address should be your address in your home country.
            • Citizenship information – enter your citizenship and specify which type of visa you will request (F-1, for which you will receive an I-20; J-1, for which you will receive a DS-2019). Please contact the International Enrollment office at [email protected].
          • On the Test Scores screen, choose Add Test and enter information for the specific tests you have taken (TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, Duolingo, ACT, SAT).
          • An admission decision can be made based on unofficial transcripts. Students can upload transcripts through their Application Status Page. Transcripts must be received from all secondary schools you have attended that show courses taken, grades earned, rank in class, grade point average and class of division earned, if applicable.
          • On the Personal Statement screen, you may optionally submit a statement of 500 words or less, discussing a topic you wish the admissions committee to review. This statement may include your educational goals, discussion of personal circumstances, and so on.
          • The final screen, Review, will list any errors with your application (for example, if required information is missing). Once your application is complete, choose SubmitApplication.
          • Please note that an application fee will be required once your application has been submitted.
          • We accept unofficial transcripts and test scores during the application process. Your official transcripts and ACT/SAT test scores will be required after an offer of admission is made.
      2. If available, request ACT or SAT scores be sent directly to Missouri S&T. Missouri S&T’s codes are as follows: ACT – 2398; SAT – 6876.
