The election of this option must be made by the student by the end of the first semester in the program. Students may not transfer to the Non-Thesis Option once registered for a Thesis Master’s track. Students are required to complete six credits of research course (CME 599), which culminate in an original Master’s thesis. Students on this track may changeinto the PhD program at the completion of this track.
Requirements for the Ph.D. Degree in Chemical and Molecular Engineering
A. Plan of Work
Before completion of one year of full-time residency, the student must have selected a research advisor who agrees to serve in that capacity. The student will then prepare a plan of further coursework. This must receive the approval of the student’s advisor and of the Graduate Program Committee.B. Coursework
- An average grade of B or higher is required for all courses.
- A minimum of 24 graduate course credits is required to graduate (excluding CME 555, 599, 697, 698, and 699).
- The 24 course credits must include the following four core courses: CME 501,502,503 and 504. If the student does not receive a minimum of a B in a core course, he or she may repeat that course one other time.
- All students must complete CME 555 Teaching and Mentoring Techniques. This course does not count towards the 24 graduate course credits
- The student must pass at least three credits of CME 698 Practicum in Teaching and six credits of CME 699 Dissertation Research on Campus.
- All courses taken outside the Department require permission from the Graduate Program Director.
- All PhD students must act as teaching assistants for five semesters (regardless of support), and they must register for CME 698 Practicum in Teaching- in all five semesters for a total of 3 credits and 0 credits for the rest.
C. Preliminary Examination
The preliminary examination must be taken before the beginning of the student’s fifth semester. This is an oral examination designed to test the student’s ability to utilize his or her chemical engineering background to carry out research in a chosen field of study, and to make clear written and oral presentations of research. At least ten days prior to the examination, the candidate should submit a research proposal (10-15 pages) to the examiners that places the research in context of other work in the area, demonstrates original thought , clearly outlines its broader impact, and provides a sustainable timeline for its completion.The examination committee will consist of three Chemical and Molecular Engineering faculty members, and one member from another department or institution. If a second examination is required, it must be completed by the tenth week of the fifth semester.
Once the student has advanced to candidacy, the student must report to the committee at least once a year before the end of the spring semester on progress towards his/her dissertation.
D. Advancement to Candidacy
After the prelims, the department processes the Advancement to Candidacy once the student’s preliminary examination committee has signed to confirm that the student has passed the prelims. It is important to note, that a student must have no “I” or “U” grades for courses that count towards the degree to advance to candidacy. He/she must have completed all coursework requirements to advance to candidacy.
E. Dissertation
The most important requirement of the Ph.D. degree is the completion of a dissertation, which must be an original scholarly investigation. The dissertation shall represent a significant contribution to the scientific literature, and its quality shall be compatible with the publication standards of appropriate and reputable scholarly journals. At least two semesters should elapse between the preliminary exam and submission of the dissertation.F. Defense
The candidate shall defend the dissertation before an examining committee consisting of four members, including the research advisor, two members of the Materials Science and Chemical Engineering Department, and one member from outside the Department.G. Time Limit
All requirements for the Ph.D. degree must be completed within seven years after completing 24 credit hours of graduate courses in the program.Requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree/Master of Science Degree Accelerated Program
The Accelerated BE/MS program is designed to allow Chemical and Molecular Engineering (CME) students in good academic standing to graduate with both a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in five years. This is made possible by allowing the students to take up to 6 credits of graduate courses to substitute for 6 credits of undergraduate specialization courses as an undergraduate student that can be counted towards the MS degree, consistent with the Graduate School policy. However, the undergraduates can only take graduate technical electives (not core courses), totaling 6 credits and completing the remaining 24 credits to fulfill the 30-credit requirement for completion of the M.S. degree in their fifth year.
The program will be highly selective, and it is anticipated that only a few students will be admitted each year. The admissions requirements for students entering the accelerated degree program are as follows:
- Applicant must be a senior in the CME major with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 3.3 at the time of application and must graduate from the undergraduate program that year;
- GPA in courses required in the CME undergraduate major of at least 3.3;
- Three letters of recommendation from Stony Brook faculty members.
- Please contact the department at ESMandCME_GradAdmissions@stonybrook.edu to apply to the program.
Applications are reviewed by the CME Graduate Admissions Committee and students will be notified if they have been admitted to the Accelerated Program. The BE/MS is a sequential degree program; Students typically matriculate to the graduate career at the beginning of their third semester in the accelerated program. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher to be admitted to the Graduate School. The Master's in Chemical Engineering is a 30 credit program and 24 of those credits must be earned as a matriculated graduate student.
Students who transfer to Stony Brook must complete at least one semester at Stony Brook before they will be considered for admission to the five-year BS/MS program and decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis to ensure they meet all other requirements to qualify for the combined degree program.
- Facilities
Research Activities
Since its inception, the MSCE Department has had a strong research component, with a recent emphasis on advanced materials, materials and processes for energy generation and storage, and sustainability. The Department has been successful in obtaining external funding for research and currently has the highest per capita faculty funding within the University. In 2022, the Department had faculty research expenditures totaling over $10.5M. Our department is home to many research centers including an EFRC on Energy Storage Technologies, the Center for Mesoscale Transport Properties, the Garcia Polymer Center, the Center for Thermal Spray Technologies and the Institute of Gas Innovation and Technology. These centers offer a unique and rich environment for interdisciplinary graduate research and education.
The proximity to Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and its advanced national facilities has been a major benefit to both faculty and students within the Department. Three of our faculty members hold joint appointments at BNL, while Brookhaven scientists participate in research and teaching within the Department. The DOE awarded the contract to manage BNL in 1998 to Brookhaven Science Associates, a consortium of other universities led by Stony Brook and the Battelle Memorial Institute. The University’s relationship with this premier research facility greatly enhances both the Department’s and Stony Brook’s research programs.
At BNL, the facilities available to the Department include particle accelerators for carrying out ion beam surface modification experiments and highly sophisticated surface analysis probes. The National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) is also located at BNL. As one of the participating research teams at NSLS, the Synchrotron Topography Research Group, centered in Stony Brook’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, is using special X-ray methods to image nondestructively dislocation microstructures. This enables image-detailed descriptions of dislocation motion and structures attendant to crystal growth and plastic deformation and fracture, as well as to interesting materials behaviors. The topographic method is also being used in department-based studies of surface chemical reactivity.
Our ties with industry are growing stronger: faculty members are working with industry on joint research projects and submitting cooperative proposals to outside agencies. The Materials Science Department has led the effort in joint industry-University projects within the College of Engineering through the New York State Strategic Partnership for Industrial Resurgence (SPIR) program. Both the Center for Thermal Spray Research and the Institute for Gas Innovation and Technology have several industrial partners.
Stony Brook’s own facilities include state-of-the-art low-energy electron diffraction LEED; a state-of-the-art scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope, both equipped with analytical capabilities and the latest software for electron diffraction simulation and image processing; an atomic force microscope; and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) IAES/SIMS Infrared Microscopy units, as well as characterization facilities that include equipment for microanalysis and X-ray techniques.
Much of the research work has included collaborations with other universities, industries, national laboratories, and government facilities such as the Army Research Laboratory, Weapons and Materials Directorate (Aberdeen, MD). Our faculty having funding from a range of federal agencies including the NSF, DOE, Department of Defense and Department of Education.
A common theme in all our programs is that we integrate the research experience as part of our educational mission. As a result, we have a vibrant, active department in which undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty and staff work together to tackle grand challenges that require new materials and processes
Consistent with Stony Brook’s designated mission as a research center, the cornerstone of the Department’s academic program is the graduate work leading to the research-oriented M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.
