Internships and Cooperative Education Programs
More than 200 employers from across Iowa, the United States and around the world participate in the Iowa State University
Cooperative Education and Engineering Internship programs. The objective for the 2011-12 academic year is for all ChE
undergraduates to have at least three months co-op or internship experience before graduation. Chemical engineering students
who graduate with this experience consistently achieve higher placement rates with employers and higher average number of job
offers. Firms providing cooperative and intern experiences for Iowa State chemical engineering students in 2011, as well as the
number of students who participated at each company, are listed below.

International Studies (Study Abroad)
The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering has established one of the most active international education programs
at Iowa State University. The programs also have been recognized as some of the leading internationalization efforts by chemical
engineering departments in the United States. Students have opportunities to choose several alternative courses of study: 1)
student exchanges for one or two semesters at prominent chemical engineering departments in Europe; 2) a five-week summer
laboratory course in Oviedo, Spain; and 3) international work experience in a globally-oriented corporation in combination with
an academic exchange program (arranged through the College of Engineering International Engagement Office). Additional
opportunities are available through the University Study Abroad Office.
University of Oviedo Summer Laboratory Course (Spain)
The summer foreign-study course is available to seniors, juniors and qualified sophomores. By participating in this program,
students earn semester credits in ChE 391 and ChE 392 courses. This applies to the bachelor’s degree requirements at Iowa State.
This five-week summer program, taught in English, offers students the opportunity to complete the unit operations laboratory
sequence at the University of Oviedo and to compare technical and cultural aspects of the U.S. and Spain. There also are ample
opportunities to travel on the continent. Iowa State shares the Oviedo program with students from the University of Wisconsin.
Both U.S. and Spanish chemical engineering faculty are involved.
Iowa State students who participate earn seven (7) credits in ChE 391 and ChE 392 combined, which substitutes for the oncampus ChE 325 and ChE 426/427. Credits are given based on the following:
1.
2.
3.
A one-credit orientation course (ChE 391A) taken during the preceding spring semester at Iowa State.
Lectures attended, laboratory experiments performed, and industrial-style reports written during the five-week program
at the University of Oviedo (ChE 392).
Visits to Spanish chemical industry and research laboratories during the five weeks of residence (ChE 391B).
The seven (7) semester credits may be substituted as follows in the ChE curriculum:
1.
2.
ChE 325, ChE 426 (4 credits maximum)
S.S.H. electives (3 credits maximum)
The costs of the program, excluding personal expenses and U.S.-Europe transportation, are currently about $5,600. Loans and
foreign study grants are available to qualified applicants.
Final applications are due each year before Thanksgiving. Students selected are notified before the end of the fall semester.
International University Exchanges
The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering coordinates or participates in two highly successful student exchanges
with international universities. The reciprocal exchange agreements involve leading chemical engineering departments in Europe:
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology-Lausanne/University of Lausanne (Switzerland) and University College London (United
Kingdom).
Students generally attend for one or two semesters, perhaps with a travel period coordinated with university schedules.
Coursework is sufficiently similar at these universities to enable students to continue their degree programs without interruption
upon return to Iowa State. The longer duration of these exchanges allows students to develop a better cultural and societal
understanding of the country and to participate more fully in a new academic experience. Most students have formed lasting
contacts with classmates and faculty.
The programs are organized according to Iowa State procedures that involve:
• Applying for the program at specific dates
• Registering for the specific university exchange program through Iowa State University
• Paying normal fees to Iowa State University, but selecting coursework at the international university – no tuition or
academic fees are paid to the international university
• Providing personal transportation expenses, living costs and other individual needs
• Transferring credit for the courses to Iowa State
12
The specific arrangements for each program differ slightly. Please contact the program coordinator for each exchange. See a list at
www.engineering.iastate.edu/studyabroad of all international programs that the College of Engineering offers.
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology-Lausanne/University of Lausanne (France)
This exchange program with two institutions in Lausanne, Switzerland, has been operating since 1984. Students stay for one
semester (mid-September to December, or February to late June) or two semesters (mid-September to late June). Almost all lowerlevel instruction is in French. Some upper-level instruction is in English. The EPFL, as it is referred to in French, has a world-class
chemical engineering program and most other engineering and science curricula. It also offers scholarships of 4,500 Swiss Francs
(about $5,000 USD at the present exchange rate) to Iowa State students who participate for two semesters and 2,000 Swiss Francs
(about $2,200 USD at the present exchange rate) for those participating in one semester. University of Lausanne offers some science
curricula and many humanities and business curricula.
This program is coordinated by Iowa State Anson Marston Distinguished Professor Dr. Peter Reilly. He can be reached at
[email protected] or 515 294-5968.
University College London (United Kingdom)
An exchange program for chemical engineering sophomores, juniors and seniors has been established with Iowa State’s Department
of Chemical and Biological Engineering, as well as University College London’s biochemical engineering and chemical engineering
departments. This program allows up to two students each year to complete their academic year at University College London in
central London, England, U.K. Vice-versa, students from University College London can attend Iowa State. The full academic year is
required because of the British system of courses and exams. The program also has the possibility for seniors to go for a single
semester with a research project emphasis combined with a limited selection of single-term courses. Students participating enroll
and pay fees to their home institution. The principal additional cost is transportation to London, as well as transportation to Ames,
Iowa, for British students.
The most recent participants from Iowa State were Alene Vandermyde (2009-10) and Anna DaSilva (2008-09). Two biochemical
engineering students from University College London who recently participated were Sarah Hedberg and Abdulrahman Ahmadi
during the 2010-11 academic year.
This program is coordinated by Iowa State University Professor Dr. Charles Glatz. He can be reached at [email protected] or 515
294-8472.

GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Graduate study in chemical and biological engineering is an exciting, challenging and rewarding undertaking. At Iowa State
University we provide a supportive and stimulating environment for advanced study by combining a broad-based research
program, excellent faculty and a population of superb graduate students. Both the academic and the industrial communities
recognize the consistently high quality of the chemical engineering graduate program. The faculty in the department are
acknowledged leaders of research and teaching in a several areas including biorenewable chemicals, biorenewable energy,
healthcare technology, advanced materials, biochemical engineering, catalysis and reaction engineering, computational fluid
dynamics, biomedical engineering and biobased products.
Since 1998, the department has hired 14 new faculty members, 12 of whom are in the biological area. Eight faculty members are
recipients of young investigator awards from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy, the Office of Naval
Research, the Dreyfus Foundation, and the Whitaker Foundation. The department’s research expenditures exceeded $13.6
million* in FY2011. External support for the graduate program comes from more than 40 federal and state agencies and
industrial firms, as well as from alumni and friends of the department.
The CBE department has more than 52,900 square feet of modern laboratory and office space, including Sweeney Hall and the
Biorenewables Research Laboratory Building that opened in 2010. The department was granted $2 million from the National
Science Foundation to renovate the research laboratories in Sweeney Hall; work began in October 2011 and will finish in late
spring 2012. We are home to the W. M. Keck Laboratory for High Throughput Atom-Scale Analysis, which features an atom
probe microscope – one of the few in academic institutions across the country. The department has close associations with many
university-wide research centers: a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center, the Center for Biorenewable
Chemicals (CBiRC), the Office of Biotechnology, the Ames Laboratory (a U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory that is
located on the ISU campus), the Bioeconomy Institute and the Plant Sciences Institute. In addition, the community offers a
pleasant and congenial academic setting with easy access to larger metropolitan cities such as Des Moines, Minneapolis, Kansas
City and Chicago.
Our graduate program attracts students from all over the United States and throughout the world. In recent years, approximately
10 percent of our graduate students have been M.S. candidates and the rest are Ph.D. candidates. The department now offers a
coursework-based Master of Engineering degree for which all the classes can be taken online. Our students are strong competitors
for several departmental and university-wide fellowships from a variety of sources. With the population of 54 graduate students
and 20 full-time faculty members, the department maintains a moderate number of students per faculty member, ensuring a high
quality mentoring relationship. Because of our excellent students and the reputation of the department, our graduates continue to
be in demand by both industrial and academic employers.

Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Organization (CEGSO)
Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Organization (CEGSO) is an informal organization of Iowa State chemical engineering
graduate students. As a group they sponsor educational, social and professional activities. They are involved in any departmental
areas that affect graduate students, including acquisition of new computers and software for the graduate computing lab. CEGSO
sponsors a library of technical books available for graduate student use. They also are a key player in promoting chemical
engineering graduate student research to potential employers.
In terms of community service, CEGSO promotes science and engineering at various campus-community events, like VEISHEA. At
2011 VEISHEA they demonstrated experiments with the non-Newtonian fluid, gak, Mentos-soda reactions, and ignition without
flame.
Socially, CEGSO sponsors spring, summer and fall picnics, an annual winter bowling party, potlucks, and occasional road trips for
skiing and canoeing.

Research Interests
Our research focuses on the development, implementation and validation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools for Chemical
Reaction Engineering. With the ever-increasing power of desktop computers, CFD has become a powerful tool for chemical reactor
analysis, design and optimization in the chemical process industry. Its successes have led to a growing demand for greater
sophistication and range in the types of problems that can be treated. Thus, the elaboration of accurate yet tractable models for the
manifold physical and chemical processes that occur in industrial-scale reactors is still very much an open and challenging field of
inquiry. In attacking these problems, our modeling efforts draw on a large range of tools originating in diverse fields including
probability theory and stochastic processes, non-linear dynamics, computational science and engineering, chemical reaction
engineering, and transport phenomena.

Research Interests
Specific problems of environmental pollution have been addressed through the development of improved methods for removing
sulfur and ash-forming mineral matter from coal and by the development of a method for regenerating calcium-based sorbents that
are used to remove sulfur compounds from the products of coal gasification or coal combustion.
