Advanced Materials Processing combines fundamental concepts of mass, momentum, and heat transfer, thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, and reaction kinetics and applies these to the synthesis of thin films, composites, metals, polymers, and ceramics. This interdisciplinary degree prepares graduates for careers in industry, government, and research.
The Chemical Engineering Department at CSU offers both the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Specialized courses in Materials Processing include Advanced Mass Transfer, Advanced Materials Analysis, and Macromolecular Physical Chemistry. As part of the College of Engineering, the Advanced Materials Program also provides students with opportunities to broaden perspectives through advanced coursework in interdepartmental courses such as Semiconductor Devices, Plasma Processing, Thin Film Growth, and Optical Materials.

Research is a vital component of both the M.S. and Ph.D. programs. The Department of Chemical Engineering at Colorado State University plays a

vital role in research and teaching at the graduate level. Student research experiences in the Advanced Materials Processing program include laboratory experimentation, modeling, or a combination, in the areas listed below.

Eligibility
Program prerequisites include coursework in mathematics (at least through differential equations), chemistry, physics, and undergraduate chemical engineering thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena. Applications are particularly encouraged from interested persons with degrees in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, and Chemistry.
