In 1938 founding director Fred “Dusty” Rhodes had a vision for a school that produced “those flashes of scientific imagination and engineering inspiration that form the stepping stones from the impossible of today to the commonplace of tomorrow.” Today, Cornell’s Robert Frederick Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering offers a world-renowned education for those seeking professional careers in industry and a vigorous research program for those drawn to the lab.
Chemical and biomolecular engineers develop solutions to global problems. Our graduates hold leadership roles in industry, government and academia. Our research discoveries lead to improvements in human health, energy and sustainability, consumer products, and advanced technologies for computing. Whatever the field, our faculty, students, and alumni strive to turn today’s impossible into tomorrow’s reality.
