BSc in Engineering - Chemical Engineering in Cleveland United States | Case Western Reserve University

Chemical engineering stands out as potentially the most adaptable engineering discipline. The name doesn't tell the full story—it extends far beyond chemistry alone. This field integrates knowledge from core sciences and engineering principles while incorporating economic and business acumen, producing highly valued problem-solvers who thrive across virtually every industry.

Given its expansive nature, our tailored approach proves especially valuable. The foundational curriculum establishes expertise through courses covering scientific and engineering essentials (such as mass transport, physics, and thermodynamics), while diverse elective tracks allow for specialization. Options range from biochemical engineering and energy systems to polymers, microfabrication, environmental engineering, and business management—or you can craft a custom focus. This personalized learning complements our commitment to individual mentorship. Our department strikes the perfect balance—compact enough for meaningful faculty interaction through research collaborations or academic support, yet sufficiently large to offer exceptional opportunities.
To fulfill these educational goals, the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program with a Chemical Engineering major ensures students develop:

the capability to recognize, analyze, and resolve challenging engineering issues using engineering, scientific, and mathematical concepts
the skills to engineer designs that address specific requirements while accounting for public safety, environmental impact, and socioeconomic considerations
