Since 1956, the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering has been committed to providing the best academic preparation for undergraduate and graduate students. The current research areas of our faculty include biochemical engineering, engineering for health and safety, sustainability, materials/semiconductors, and energy. Most of our students find gainful employment, and enjoy successful and productive careers in the San Francisco Bay Area, and beyond. Our faculty is committed to student success by providing experiential learning through independent research projects and collaborative research with local industries and universities. Details are provided in the department website at https://www.sjsu.edu/cme/.



The Chemical and Materials Engineering Department, the College of Engineering and San José State University value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our excellence in research, teaching, and service can only be fully realized by faculty, students, and staff who share our commitment to these values.
