Chemical engineers apply principles of chemistry, mathematics, physics, and occasionally biology to enhance living standards through the creation, refinement, and cost-effective development of innovative technologies and products. This discipline focuses on examining and designing chemical processes that efficiently transform raw materials into more valuable substances or energy sources. With wide-ranging influence, chemical engineering touches nearly every aspect of modern life - from the clothes we wear (fabrics and coloring agents) to household items like paints, paper goods, plastic products, cleaning agents, personal care items, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, and electronic components.
Earning a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from BYU provides students with a valuable credential to remain competitive in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape.
