Historical Highlights
Chemical engineering course offerings were an outgrowth of the Chemistry Department with the first three bachelor's degrees in chemical engineering granted in 1920. Continually accredited since 1954, the Chemical Engineering Department was established as a separate department in 1958. Building on the established undergraduate program, a master's program was developed in 1954 and a doctoral program developed in 1963. For well over 75 years, hundreds of aspiring chemical engineers have come to the University of Nebraska to receive a sound educational experience on which to build their careers. The Chemical Engineering Department has a long tradition of providing an out-standing education to these students and is proud to boast many exceptional graduates who have made major contributions to the engineering field.
Of these graduates, one of the first to make significant contributions to chemical engineering was Omaha native Dr. Donald Othmer. A 1924 chemical engineering graduate, Othmer held more than 150 U.S. and foreign patents and authored or co-authored more than 350 scientific papers. He was the co-founder and co-editor of the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology.
