From its inception at the Colorado School of Mines in 1952, the Chemical Engineering Department has focused on education and basic and applied research aimed at problems of national interest.
At CSM, we maintain a high quality, well-funded research program with strong participation from students at both the graduate and undergraduate level. The Departmental research menu is quite broad, and includes major programs in materials, separations, thermodynamics, combustion, transport, and computer-aided simulation and molecular modeling. Two major national laboratories are close by leading to strong departmental affiliations. These include:

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Golden, CO
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Boulder, CO

These research and educational activities take place in one of the most scenic locations in the United States. With over 300 days per year of sunshine and the proximity to Denver and the Rocky Mountains, this area provides a combination of year-round cultural, recreational, and entertainment opportunities that are virtually unmatched anywhere.
