DEPARTMENT: Established in 1957, CPE currently has nine full-time faculty, administrative and technical support staff, 300 undergraduate majors, and 10 MS graduate students. The department offers ABET accredited, undergraduate majors in chemical engineering and interdisciplinary majors in bioengineering and engineering management. The department supports many opportunities for undergraduate research, student co-op, and study abroad. The graduate program offers advanced courses and requires students to complete a research thesis. The Miami University Paper Science and Engineering Foundation is a non-profit organization that solicits and coordinates industry support for scholarships, equipment, and curricular advice. It operates independently of the department and is led by an executive director. The department’s laboratories include modern research laboratories, a highly instrumented pilot paper machine, a unit operations laboratory, biochemical engineering, bioengineering, materials testing laboratory, and other laboratories containing bench scale process equipment. State of the art analytic testing equipment is available at the University. Additional information can be found at

SCHOOL: CPE is administratively located in the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), which includes other related majors in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, General Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Software Engineering, Engineering Technology, Computer and Information Technology, and Nursing. Miami’s undergraduate engineering program is ranked 35 in the category of "Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs whose highest degree is a bachelor's or master's," according to the U.S. News & World Report 2013 edition of America’s Best Colleges.
UNIVERSITY: Nationally recognized as one of the country’s most outstanding undergraduate institutions, Miami University is a public university located in Oxford, Ohio (35 miles north of Cincinnati), with regional locations in Hamilton, Middletown, and West Chester, Ohio, and the John E. Dolibois European Center in Luxembourg. Miami combines a wide range of strong academic programs with the personal attention ordinarily found only at much smaller institutions. A liberal education core complements the more specialized studies of the majors. Along with an impressive number of opportunities to gain practical, hands-on and immersive experiences, Miami is distinguished by a faculty who enjoy teaching and mentoring students. Recognized as a “Public Ivy” by Richard Moll in his 1985 book about America’s flagship universities, Miami has long been recognized by such publications as U.S. News & World Report for an unusually strong commitment to undergraduate teaching (3rd in the nation in 2012). This commitment to teaching is demonstrated in the University’s record of exceptional retention and graduation rates—which are among highest for NCAA Division I schools. Miami also is ranked the top public doctoral university in the country for study abroad participation by undergraduate students. Chartered in 1809, Miami is the seventh-oldest university in the nation. Current enrollment includes almost 15,000 undergraduates and over 1,800 graduate students on the Oxford campus, which is lauded for its exceptional beauty. The charming, historic uptown area of Oxford is adjacent to the campus. Miami offers bachelor degrees in over 100 areas of study and master's degrees in more than 50 areas; the University also offers a number of doctoral degrees.
