Engineer the Future

We take our role as the first school in the nation dedicated to molecular engineering seriously. It drives us to carve out a new path in engineering research and education.

We transcend traditional boundaries by bringing together interdisciplinary teams of engineers and scientists to holistically address societal issues. Our pioneering approach to education teaches you not only the fundamentals of molecular engineering, but also how to communicate your work to a variety of audiences. You'll have the opportunity to take electives across the University—from business classes at Booth to policy courses at Harris Public Policy to astrophysics in the Physical Sciences Division.
