内容简介：
【简介】 Chemical engineering at UIUC has achieved an outstanding record of eminence in both education and research. The department was ranked in the top five in a recent report by the National Research Council, based on a survey of academic researchers. Another study, published by the American Chemical Society, found that UIUC was the number one institution for the undergraduate training of chemical engineers considered eminent in the field and among the top five for doctoral education of this group.
A source of strength for the department is the high quality of the graduate student body. In the fall of 2000, there were 73 full-time graduate students enrolled in chemical engineering. These students represent a wide spectrum of backgrounds; they have come to UIUC from schools in numerous states and foreign countries. Currently in residence are more than 400 undergraduate students. Approximately 70 to 80 BS, 10 to 15 MS, and 10 to 15 PhD degrees are awarded annually.
The department is part of the School of Chemical Sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. It maintains close ties with the College of Engineering, which has been consistently ranked among the top five in the nation in recent years by deans at engineering schools, according to surveys conducted by U.S. News & World Report. The department is fully accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
