                        <p>The pulp and paper industry is at the forefront of the renewable resources industry.
                           It represents the first industry that uses biomass in large quantities to produce
                           commodity and specialized products. Graduates are well prepared to move into assignments
                           in the engineering field and advance quickly to positions of responsibility in the
                           analysis and design of processes and equipment. The paper engineering program is accredited
