Chemical and Materials Engineering Lecturer Pool

The Chemical and Materials Engineering Department at SJSU offers two ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (BSChE) and Bachelor of Science in Materials Engineering (BSMatE) degrees and two Master of Science in Chemical Engineering (MSChE) and Master of Science in Materials Engineering (MSMatE) degrees. Hands-on, project-based curricula and state-of-the-art pedagogy provide the best possible academic preparation for the wide range of professional opportunities such as research, design, development, testing, and integration of systems available to Chemical and Materials Engineers with an emphasis on technologies that are centered in the Bay Area.

The Department has approximately 400 undergraduate and 70 graduate students.

Students majoring in Chemical and Materials Engineering make a difference for society in a broad array of fields including green energy: biofuels, solar cells, and renewable batteries; biotechnology: genetics research, low cost vaccines, and personalized medicine; smart transportation and space exploration; next generation health care: medical devices, surgical tools, and diagnostics; additive manufacturing; flexible electronics, microelectronics, memory, and the internet of things;

water purification and environmental engineering. Our students are well prepared for a career in industry or for advanced studies in academia as they gain a solid foundation in chemical or materials engineering principles and design through participation in transformative interdisciplinary faculty research, and interactions with cutting-edge technologies in California high-tech industries and with global partners.
