The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChBE) in the George R. Brown School of Engineering and Computing is driving innovation at the intersection of materials, biology, energy, and sustainability. Our faculty and students are pioneering advances in catalysis and reactor engineering, carbon capture and utilization, sustainable manufacturing, biomolecular engineering, and computational materials science to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing our world.
We are engineering an innovative future by combining world-class research with transformative teaching that prepares students to think creatively, collaborate across disciplines, and lead with impact. From our newly launched initiatives in energy transition and sustainable materials to expanding opportunities for hands-on undergraduate research and graduate fellowships, the department is growing in both excellence and reach. Your support helps us sustain this momentum, whether by enhancing student experiences, fellowships, or departmental excellence funds that empower our faculty and students to pursue bold ideas.
Every gift, no matter small or large, makes an impact.
Whether you choose to give back through an annual gift, establishing an endowment or supporting another funding priority, every dollar counts. In fact, most gifts to Rice Engineering and Computing are less than $1,000 but together they add up to millions for student awards, academics, research and programs so we can educate leaders and tackle grand challenges. If you are interested in discussing how you can make a non-cash gift such as appreciated stock, Donor Advised Fund (DAF), IRA Charitable Rollover, or through a deferred gift vehicle such as a bequest, please contact engdev@rice.edu and we would love to help facilitate that donation.
Your official tax receipt will automatically be sent to the email address you provide. Your investment provides a distinctive academic experience that encourages top research from our faculty and prepares our graduates to lead and succeed throughout their careers.
