This document concerns potential schools that have programs of interest such as in chemistry, physics, biomedical/electrical/computer/chemical engineering, and computer sciences.

 

Note that one of the tasks in completing this document still remains to be completed: looking up each of the respective cities and finding other universities in those same cities and general regions.

 

In order to find the universities per each city, or at least the local region, we have to determine just how far away from the university, another university would be appropriate. For example, in Boston there is great room for movement from university to university because they may as well just be right across the street from each other (Harvard, MIT, etc.). But in other locations it may be up to one hundred miles to get from one university to the next.

 

The idea of finding nearby universities is that they can serve as a nesting place for a few semesters, and then move on to the other university, establish contacts and professors and students with the other university that I would much rather prefer, and then move on from there.

 

Universities per each city (other than the listed)

The requirements are the same as chemistry, but with pharmacological seminar, economics, pharmacology, toxicology, and more biochemistry.

 

Despite there being signs of computer engineering programs at UCSD it looks more like the chemical engineering options are not easily ascertained. Perhaps it would be better to look at Los Angeles instead.

The information is strangely encoded on this page (using number designations for classes instead of also providing names and titles). Anyway, it looks like Computer Engineering and Chemical Engineering would largely be incompatible here even though it could be made to work with intensive course work and so on.

There seems to be no collection of requirements for the computer engineering program at Northwestern, strangely enough. At least, not on the current web page for the EECS/ECE department. The link here for course descriptions is likely the most useful one.

 

Ah, another 70 megabyte document has the information for the computer engineering curriculum, unfortunately the information is heavily encoded into the numbers and abbreviations that are dependent on Northwestern University class information. Back to the last link there (course descriptions link) the classes include: the electron in the 21st century, introduction to electrical engineering, introduction to computer engineering, fundamentals of computer system software, circuits, signals and systems, solid state engineering, electromagnetics and photonics, electronics, programming, physical electronics and devices, probabilistic systems and random signals, digital logic design, communications systems, telecommunications networks for multimedia, numerical methods, digital image analysis, microprocessor system design, digital microelectronics, VLSI CAD, digital signal processing, feedback systems, computer architecture, digital filtering, communication filters, digital communications, lasers and fiber optics, wireless communications, electronic properties of materials, photonic information processing, fiber-optic communications, solid state electronic devices, optoelectronics, computational electromagnetics and photonics, microelectronic technology, superconductivity and applications, robotics, VLSI system design, analysis and design of high-speed integrated circuits, ASIC and FPGA design, real-time systems, formal techniques in design and verification, electronic devices, quantum semiconductors, quantum electronics, photonics, nonlinear optics, quantum optics, classical electrodynamics, computational electrodynamics, semiconductor lasers, system theory, optimal control, identification of dynamic systems, digital image processing, multimedia signal processing, random processes in communication and control, noise and fluctuation in engineered systems, noise / modulation / quantum properties of laser emissions, signal detection and estimation, optical communications, information theory, quantum information science and technology, computer vision, neural networks, nonlinear dynamics, computer architecture, distributed computing systems, algorithms, VLSI algorithmics, parallel and distributed database systems, numerical linear algebra, nonlinear optimization, Local Area Networks, queuing models for computer communication, robotic systems, digital video processing, multiuser communication and information theory, computer security and information assurance.

Note that Northwestern biomedical engineering seems more in-depth, although from what I remember I have only been looking at the information on what classes they have to offer and not what the students actually take.

 

http://www.chem.uiowa.edu/stdsrvcs/ugprogram/index.html chemistry

 

Classes: principles of chemistry, basic measurement, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, physical measurements, analytical chemistry, analytical measurements, inorganic chemistry, physics, mathematics (including two classes on calculus), biochemistry, and some more electives to fill up the curriculum schedule.

The University of Iowa seems to keep all of their chemical engineering degrees at 128 credit hours and not much room for many electives, approximately five electives per degree program and that’s not saying much. Look at the courses under the chemical engineering program and notice that they do not really satisfy much of anything except some essential mathematics, heat flow, materials, reactions, separations, etc. It does not even require inorganic chemistry like the University of California at Irvine.

126 total credits wherein 46 are in the basic sciences, 18 in the humanities, 29 in the biomedical engineering core curriculum, 27 credits in engineering including 9 electives on biomedical engineering, and 6 other credits (biology, computing). 

 

http://www.bme.jhu.edu/subsites/innovations/area1/a1_main.htm

http://www.bme.jhu.edu/subsites/innovations/area1/a1_oview.htm Actually, it looks like the Johns Hopkins university department of biomedical engineering has many opportunities, especially with that focus in instrumentation which could possibly be allowed to crossover with some curriculum in computer engineering. At least, this is from a biomedical engineering perspective, perhaps there is some more opportunity in the chemical and biomolecular engineering programs.

 

http://www.jhu.edu/chbe/index.asp chemical and biomolecular engineering

http://www.jhu.edu/chbe/undergraduates/IN%20concentration.pdf 128 credit hours and it does not look like anything entirely interesting. There are only two semesters per year at this university. Northwestern has three semesters per year suggesting that more classes can be taken and that will allow for a greater thoroughness in education.

Tufts University

 

http://www.tufts.edu/med/ Tufts University School of Medicine

http://chem.tufts.edu/ chemistry

http://chem.tufts.edu/undergrad/chem_phys_major.html chemical physics major “for a more theoretical understanding of chemistry”. Note that Tufts apparently has this science department “in a more liberal arts atmosphere but with the opportunities of a major research university”. Not recommended.

 

http://ase.tufts.edu/chemical/ chemical and biological engineering

http://ase.tufts.edu/chemical/undergradCourseSchedule.htm

Their undergraduate chemical engineering program seems appropriate and following the same patterns as most other schools. There are classes on material strengths and also fluid mechanics, separations, heat flows, and transfers/reactors: the typical classes in chemical engineering.

 

http://www.ece.tufts.edu/  electrical and computer engineering

http://www.ece.tufts.edu/admissions/undergrad.php what is a second major anyway?

http://www.ece.tufts.edu/academics/bs_ce_field.php The computer engineering undergraduate program looks simple enough and goes over basic communications, digital design and analysis, mathematics, plus the basic English/social studies requirements, some basic sciences, though not much else. It looks like a bare minimalist education in computer engineering.

 

http://www.ece.tufts.edu/academics/biomed_2nd.php They offer a second degree path that allows for some extra classes in biomedical engineering along with their computer engineering or electrical engineering students which is rather interesting. That is a “plus” to Tufts University, although again the curriculum for chemical and computer engineering programs seems (sort of) “bland”.

 

http://www.cs.tufts.edu/ Given that their chemical engineering and computer engineering programs are “bland” and not exceptional, I really don’t care what their computer science program looks like.

http://www.bme.umich.edu/Academics/PdfFiles/UndergradCurriculum.pdf The biomedical engineering program tends to base itself around structure such as in chemistry classes and physiology classes. There are also some design and analysis classes, with one class on instrumentation. There are also some fields of focus such as in biomedical engineering with focuses on biochemistry, biomechanics, and then one more that currently escapes me. Mediocre.

http://www.engin.umich.edu/dept/cheme/ugoffice/ChECurr.pdf (requirements) The requirements for the chemical engineering degree are interesting in that they provide some materials classes, chemical process simulation, as well as the usual classes. This seems appropriate only if the computer engineering classes can be placed in with this schedule. See the interdisciplinary options at the University of Michigan as well.

http://www.eecs.umich.edu/

http://www.eecs.umich.edu/eecs/undergraduate/ugce/2006/ce_2006-07.html Computer Engineering requirements show that there is some preliminary crossover with mathematics, physics, and chemistry (such as with the chemical engineering program). There are 16 humanities credits that are likely the same with the chemical engineering program, and also 13 credits that must be acceptable to the college of engineering (meaning that they may be allowed to satisfy some requirements for the chemical engineering degree). There are some classes on digital signaling, compiler design, operating systems, and parallel computer architecture that look interesting. The page here says that if you cannot meet the requirements that you should immediately discuss with the department head and so on—this may be a good idea because then I can discuss options to simultaneously study chemical engineering.

http://interpro.engin.umich.edu/intermicros/ The “integrated Microsystems” path for the Masters of Engineering is not for undergraduates.


http://interpro.engin.umich.edu/mfgeng_prog/index.htm The manufacturing engineering program is to obtain a masters and/or doctorate in manufacturing engineering and even MBA simultaneously. It is not for undergraduates.


http://interpro.engin.umich.edu/pharmaceutical/ The pharmaceutical engineering program is only offered for graduate students and is for “professional development”. Apparently, they aim to reach product quality and process efficiency. Seems to also have some courses in personalized medication which is where you go in to the doctor’s office and they send your fluids to labs and they figure out what specific medications will help you the most based off of tons of analytical tests and experiments.


http://www.engin.umich.edu/prog/macro/ The macromolecular science and engineering program is just an extra year (meaning it’s a M. Sci. or M. Eng. degree) on top of a Bachelors of Science program and has some many options of specialization that all look interesting such as biomaterials, biomedical, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, organic electronics/photonics, physics, etc.


http://www.umich.edu/~michchem/ The undergraduate chemistry program is not quickly accessible and besides this program there are other programs at the University of Michigan that are more interesting and can be focused on in the mean time.

http://www.eec.wustl.edu/Academics/UndergraduatePrograms.asp The chemical engineering program allows for double majors as well as minors in computer science and is fit for a candidate as premedical school and is slightly based around the idea of creating your own course of study at the school. Students coming in with AP credits have the opportunity to do double majoring. “You may be able to take more than the 126-unit minimum during your four-year program, especially if you have advanced-placement units. This permits the choice of additional free electives from such areas as biology, computer science, the social sciences, or other engineering courses. It also provides an opportunity to pursue a double major. The rules for combining majors in engineering and multiple majors involving other university divisions are described on page ??. Particularly popular with chemical engineering students is a double major with biomedical engineering or a combined degree program in process control systems.”

This program is not recommended (even though the name at least sounds like a good idea).

http://web.archive.org/web/20050304050608/www.ee.columbia.edu/~compeng/first.html Shows a fancy diagram of some of the classes involved. Does not say much, although it is definitely broad. It does not give the juicy courses in computer engineering that other schools have, although it does leave room for more breadth. May be a good idea if you are looking for a lax environment. I would not recommend the school as a whole from what I have seen.

http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/engineering-handbook/2006/major-cheme.cfm The chemical engineering degree requirements are rigorous (127 credits) with as many electives as you like (no limit). There seems to be a few physics classes, plus a good distribution of chemistry and then the chemical engineering classes that are of course essential to the program. It does not seem possible to go this route and obtain a computer engineering degree at the same time. This would be good if you were to do only chemical engineering. The diagram on the page is fancy.

* http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/programs/undergraduate-education/majors/ece/index.cfm The electrical and computer engineering degree program is also 127 credits. Apparently, according to the page linked in the next link, there are 75 credits that are common to most engineering programs so this suggests that chemical engineering also has those 75 credit requirements, meaning that after the core 75 there are only 106 more credits to go in order to satisfy both ECE and CHEME programs. Maybe there is a better option than this at Cornell University, because if that’s the only way to do it then that may be way too much work. For example, assume for a moment that all of the classes are 3 credit classes, meaning you will have to take at least 33 classes, and if you are only doing six classes per semester it will take at least five semesters in order to complete both programs (a year and a half)—and that’s quite a lot of assumptions that are going on there. It may be possible, especially if the exact numerical value of each of the classes is figured out. Nothing too solid can be chosen because if they decide to change the number of times per week that a class meets, or actually the number of classes required, then there are some major problems to attend to in order to meet a four-year deadline.

http://www.ece.cornell.edu/ugradhndbk/#ECE_Minor You can take a minor in ECE especially in the Chemical Engineering program.

* http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/programs/undergraduate-education/majors/index.cfm see this page for engineering programs
* http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/programs/undergraduate-education/majors/independent/index.cfm independent major ... an interesting option much like the one that I saw at the University of Michigan engineering segment. Not accredited, so make sure you plan out the curriculum in such a way as to also satisfy requirements for chemical, biomedical, and computer engineering programs all at the same time (just requires you to state your intention to make the majors, methinks)-- talk with the advisors and see what is possible.

 

According to the page, the independent major allows for students to construct their own paths between classes and so on from year to year. The problem is that students are not qualified for the “Fundamentals of Engineering” examination and are not an accredited professional upon graduation. Figure out whether or not that would prohibit employment in any drastic way. Cornell has some strict programs, but this is one of the less strict and is a good option to look into.

No chemical engineering. Makes you wonder how they have a materials engineering curriculum without providing courses in chemical engineering/manufacturing.

(RECOMMENDED) University of Rochester

http://www.rochester.edu/ University of Rochester – From what I have seen here they do provide some programs for their students that really allow them to do their own “things” once they hit the senior years that lets them do their own research for a year without a charge with respect to tuition. There is little mention of their chemical engineering program being good for premedical studies, but that does not mean that it is or is not. Opportunities to go for simultaneous degrees in ECE and ChE look meek since the ECE degree literally includes the “electrical engineering” components (which aren’t necessarily bad, of course). Looks less possible, but that’s not necessarily true either.


http://www.chem.rochester.edu/ chemistry

http://www.seas.rochester.edu/msc/index.html materials science
http://www.bme.rochester.edu/ biomedical engineering


http://www.che.rochester.edu/ chemical engineering

http://www.che.rochester.edu/curriculum.htm It looks like the “threads” or “paths” or “specializations” are well-thought out at Rochester such as the environmentally stable manufacturing studies, or nanotechnology and polymer studies, or even the biotechnology specialization.

http://www.che.rochester.edu/graphics/ug_curriculum.html The basic courses are there, definitely, and each student is given an advisor to work with as they move through the curriculum and their stay at Rochester. This suggests that the curriculum may be modifiable to allow one to also pursue the computer engineering degree as well (see below).

http://www.che.rochester.edu/3-2program.htm The 3-2 chemical engineering program allows students to take graduate-level chemical engineering courses during their senior year of undergraduate studies and accelerate their graduate studies to roughly one year.

http://www.che.rochester.edu/take5.htm The take-5 program can be applied to by seniors in their first semester of undergraduate studies that will allow these students to follow their whims (thus, the classes must not be used to satisfy requirements in the chemical engineering undergraduate program). There may be a conflict here with the 3-2 program mentioned above. Acceptance into this program means that one or two semesters are provided without tuition costs in the way.


http://www.ee.rochester.edu/ The electrical and computer engineering department also provides the 3-2 program and take-5 programs.

http://www.rochester.edu/entrepreneurship/students/key.html The ECE department also allows the KEY program which means that accepted students get one or two semesters (a fifth year) free of charge for the purpose of “entrepreneurial educational enrichment”. The courses are listed at http://www.rochester.edu/entrepreneurship/students/courses .

http://www.ece.rochester.edu/underGrad/requirements.php There are some basic requirements for the BS ECE program. There is also a minor that students can reach for. 

 

http://www.ece.rochester.edu/underGrad/eceMinor.php And at the University of Rochester one can take an ECE minor that one has designed separately (i.e., not currently offered). Has to be approved by a committee, of course. 

 

 

(RECOMMENDED/MAYBE) Duke University (mostly “maybe” due to lack of specific program in computer engineering and the entire lack of a chemical engineering program)

 

No chemical engineering.
http://medschool.duke.edu/ Duke University Medical Center at Durham
http://www.pratt.duke.edu/undergraduates/degrees.php (engineering)
http://www.bme.duke.edu/undergrads/curriculum.php The biomedical engineering degree program here seems to have some classes on modeling and statistics, as well as physics, chemistry, mathematics, and then the biology. Does not seem to have anything in-depth related to chemistry. Internships are available. A five-year program for BS/MS is available.

 

http://www.pratt.duke.edu/undergraduates/degrees.php Double Majors and Double Minors are possible according to this page.

http://www.ece.duke.edu/undergrads/second_major.php Dual majors are also talked about here in relation to the electrical and computer engineering program. So it looks like they allow this sort of studying. Too bad they don’t have a chemical engineering program. So the way to go may be Biomedical Engineering and ECE, or physics and ECE, or something like that, but that really neglects chemical engineering—perhaps the chemistry department has some interesting study opportunities.


http://www.ece.duke.edu/undergrads/ece.php electrical and computer engineering (ECE)


http://www.chem.duke.edu/ chemistry

http://www.chem.duke.edu/undergraduate/

 

http://www.chem.duke.edu/undergraduate/prosminor/minorreq.html The requirements for a minor in chemistry at Duke University include chemistry classes, biochemistry, biology, and pharmacology. So it does not look like a student will get any theoretical chemistry with a minor in chemistry at Duke.

http://www.chem.duke.edu/undergraduate/major/Handbook/Handbook.html#BSBCH BS chem with concentration in biochemistry

http://www.chem.duke.edu/undergraduate/major/Handbook/Handbook.html#BSPHAR BS chem with concentration in pharmacology

 

The classes in chemistry range from organic chemistry to inorganic chemistry and some classes in chemical information retrieval and some physical chemistry. No quantum chemistry or theoretical chemistry is presented on the page and definitely no electromagnetism or quantum electrodynamics, so if anything the chemistry major would have to be taken with a minor in physics.


http://www.cs.duke.edu/ computer science

 

(DELETE) University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

No computer/electrical/chemical engineering? Not really worth the effort, except that they offer classes in molecular physiology and pharmacology, chemistry, which look interesting, although not so much without the engineering studies such as how to mass-control the movements of molecules and chemical manufacturing/processes, etc. etc.

http://www.case.edu/ (RECOMMENDED) Case Western Reserve University at Cleveland, Ohio (note: the CWRU.edu website is “the same” as the CASE.edu website, don’t be confused by the differing URLs)
http://chemwww.chem.cwru.edu/ chemistry
http://www.case.edu/artsci/interdisciplinary/ interdisciplinary studies and so on. Actually, that’s not true, this is just to help plan such events for professors and students more than anything else. This is not for undergraduate studies.


http://www.eecs.cwru.edu/ computer science and electrical engineering

http://www.eecs.case.edu/academics/undergraduate/home Undergraduate programs include electrical engineering, systems and control engineering, computer engineering, and computer science. There are integrated five-year BS/MS programs here as well.

 

http://www.eecs.case.edu/academics/undergraduate/choose_major Interestingly, Case Western Reserve University also offers dual degrees (this takes five years) as well as minors of course in their engineering program (four years usually), or even the option of taking a 5-year program where BS degree is not in the same exact field of study as MS degree. That’s an interesting option.

 

http://www.eecs.case.edu/academics/undergraduate/ce_current_curriculum The current computer engineering curriculum – has 131 semester hours, and includes classes like physics (electromagnetism, mechanics, etc.), chemistry of materials, circuits and instrumentation, data structures, discrete mathematics, computer architecture, operating system design, etc. Looks compatible with the chemical engineering program.


http://bme.cwru.edu/ biomedical engineering


http://www.cwru.edu/cse/eche/ chemical engineering

http://www.case.edu/cse/eche/programs/bsms.html five-year combined BS/MS in chemical engineering (this usually requires MS courses during the senior year, would they allow like the EECS department for the MS program courses to be in another engineering field?)

http://www.case.edu/cse/eche/programs/ughandbook.pdf handbook for undergraduates shows that there are minors in chemical engineering that are offered. As for the major in chemical engineering, the classes look fine, plus some good breadth offerings with classes in electrochemistry, biophysics, microbiology, electromagnetic fields, etc. 

 
http://polymers.case.edu/ The macromolecular engineering department also looks great.

http://polymers.case.edu/academics/undergraduate_interdep.htm This page mentions that there are dual degree opportunities associated with the department of macromolecular engineering.

http://polymers.case.edu/academics/undergraduate_standardcurriculum.htm The classes for macromolecular engineering look good. Actually, it turns out that this is really a polymer science degree course, not engineering, but the differences may not be too large. This program seems to be focused on structure-function relationships in chemistry and for providing research opportunities, because most of the students go on to teach, not do engineering. So, do this mainly for researching if it at all. The other programs look more exciting, I thought this would be good because of the name—not so much, though, ‘cept for the research methods that would be taught in the classes.

http://www.uc.edu/programs/viewprog.asp?progid=2390 premedical – just mentions that biology, chemistry, and organic chemistry are necessary for premed studies as well as foreign language and English composition and so on, not much special going on here.


http://www.uc.edu/programs/viewprog.asp?progid=2560 chemical technology – It’s an actual “certificate degree” program but also a B.S. program that includes some extra studying. It focuses on chemical technology, which is important, yes, but this program may not be for anybody who is serious about learning. Just look at the classes in the first few semesters – algebra! Trigonometry!


http://www.uc.edu/programs/viewprog.asp?progid=2551 biomedical engineering
http://www.uc.edu/programs/viewprog.asp?progid=2164 chemical engineering – There are five years of study mentioned and yet not even fluid mechanics is mentioned and certainly no quantum/theoretical chemistry proposed for the students. This suggests that the University of Cincinnati may not know what they are doing.


http://www.uc.edu/programs/viewprog.asp?progid=2205 computer engineering – Out of everything so far that I have seen here, this program looks good actually, since it goes into digital design, signals, networks, discrete algorithms, operating system design, data structures, and even automata and formal languages. It even has some physics and chemistry, although probably only the very basics. The fifth year is largely composed of electives and a design project (though not a thesis?).

http://www.upenn.edu/ (DELETE) University of Pennsylvania – Although the University of Pennsylvania offers degree programs in some seemingly interesting fields, they are not as specific or exact as other universities and thus seem more or less inappropriate.

(maybe?)

I say “maybe” because it looks like it may work, but it most likely will not and thus the skeptical question mark at the end of the “maybe”.
