Our programs integrate academic studies with hands-on lab work to help you master core chemical engineering concepts. The comprehensive technical and scientific foundation provided by this program creates diverse career opportunities across multiple industries.
Following our tradition since granting the nation's inaugural chemical engineering degree in 1889, our undergraduate program equips students for careers in chemical processing sectors. This encompasses all industries where chemical and energy transformations play a vital role in manufacturing, including petroleum, rubber, plastics, synthetic fibers, paper production, fermentation, cleaning products, glass, ceramics, photographic materials, and organic/inorganic chemical production. Given the rapidly evolving nature of this field, our curriculum emphasizes fundamental concepts over specific techniques. This approach prepares graduates for either advanced academic pursuits or direct industry employment. Career paths in process industries span various functions such as design, innovation, operations leadership, manufacturing, scientific investigation, technical sales, customer support, and engineering services.
