PMP Capstone Course/Project

The Chemical Engineering (ChE) Professional M.S. Program's (PMP) Capstone Course enables students to apply the knowledge acquired in the PMP curriculum to a specific application of relevant importance. The Capstone integrates science, engineering, design, and economics to achieve specific goals, such as the development of innovative technology, refinement of new analytical tools, or improved understanding of material properties, synthesis, and processing. Students have the opportunity to select industrial-based or academic-based projects led under the guidance of our industrial partners or the guidance of ChE faculty, respectively. Industry projects typically consist of teams in which a group of 2-4 students work with a mentor from an industrial partner, while students working on academic projects join the laboratory of a Purdue Chemical Engineering faculty member on individual- or team-based projects. Examples of 2024 capstone projects are listed below.
