The Chemical Engineering Department at NMT is among the fastest growing departments.
A degree in chemical engineering is a highly flexible and adaptable education. Graduates
work in virtually every field and command the highest wages.
The chemical engineering program at New Mexico Tech is accredited by the engineering
accreditation commission of ABET.
Great job, Janet Baffoe and Tahmidul Islam for taking First and Second Place in the
Grad/Tech Poster competition at this year's 33rd Annual Rio Grande Symposium for Advanced
Materials (RGSAM) and all other New Mexico Tech students who presented and participated!
Congratulations Madeline Finale for successfully defending her thesis, "Photothermal Nanoparticles to Enhance Heat Driven Flow-Like Behavior of Epoxy Using
Visible Light" on September 28th. Great Job, Madeline!
The Macey Scholars Program is based upon accomplishments in the classroom and/or research
laboratory together with institutional service and other activities that have brought
credit to the individual student and to New Mexico Tech. These accomplishments could
include awards, honors, membership in campus organizations, part-time jobs, service
to the university, and research endeavors and other relevant activities. This year, two of our students were selected to be Macey Scholars; Samantha Lindholm
and James Angelos. Congratulations to both of these outstanding students!
Congratulations to Aaron Plant! Aaron successfully defended his thesis, "Controlling Solubility of Poly(3-hexylthiophene) Block Copolymers Toward Environmentally
Preferable Solvents and Their Applications" on July 19th. Great Job, Aaron!

Chris Walkling (B.S., Chemical Engineering, 2020) was recently featured in an article on biofuel development in the Fall 2021 Naval
Aviation News - read a copy of the article at: http://luh.stonewallartandcollectables.com/dvancement/docs/Unlikely_Fuel_Source_Makes_Waves.pdf. Walkling's a member of a research team developing a hybrid biological/chemical process
that uses bacteria found in seawater to generate a "platform" chemical, which can
then be converted into jet, diesel, gasoline or even missile fuel.
