Northwestern’s MSChE grooms engineers to decarbonize chemical industries and accelerate pharma pipelines. Graduate-level thermodynamics, multiscale reaction kinetics, and process intensification couple with electives in electro-catalysis, metabolic engineering, and AI-driven molecular discovery. Partnerships with Shell TechWorks, Moderna, and LanzaTech fund thesis projects that retrofit CO₂-to-jet-fuel reactors or design continuous mRNA nanoparticle crystallizers.
