From the time I worked on my Plant Design projects in my senior year, I knew I would someday design and build production scale manufacturing facilities." |

"My degree prepared me for a variety of roles in process engineering, including process design and development, product development, process equipment design, control systems installation, project engineering, and technical team leadership. I was better prepared both technically and in breadth of knowledge than most of my associates from other schools...Thank you Lowell!" Pete Cowley, 1975 | |

"After attending the University of Massachusetts Chemical Engineering program in Lowell, I found numerous engineering opportunities within the metro Boston area. To my surprise, I was qualified to work in industries such as Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical, Food and Beverage, Electronics and Semiconductor. After a 20 year career in Biotechnology and ownership of my own company which serviced this industry, I have realized that the Chemical Engineering Program from U-Mass, Lowell rivaled other university's more expensive programs and provided one distinct advantage. Lowell's program provided a real hands-on approach to the profession that I found to be missing in the new hires I have employed over the years that came from other Chemical Engineering programs." | |
