Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is the application of chemistry, physics, math, and engineering principles to convert raw materials into useful products such as fuels, plastics, pharmaceuticals, clean water, and food. It focuses on designing processes, managing large-scale manufacturing, and ensuring safety and sustainability in chemical production. Chemical engineers work at the intersection of science and industry.

Chemical Engineering teaches how to design chemical processes, develop new materials, and scale up lab results to industrial production. You'll study thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction engineering, and process control. Labs often simulate real-world chemical plants. Co-op or internship placements in energy, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, or food processing provide key experience. Many graduates also pursue green energy, biotech, or grad school.
