Chemical Engineering education starts with lab experiments before progressing to large-scale technological applications. The field's undergraduate program aims to cultivate students' grasp of fundamental scientific, mathematical, and engineering concepts that form the basis of industrial processes. This educational philosophy manifests in a curriculum grounded in chemistry, physics, and biology. Students engage with subjects like applied mathematics, material/energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, separation techniques, chemical reaction kinetics, reactor engineering, and process system design.
A high school diploma or the equivalent is required in order to enroll at Stanford. Generally, we receive English proficiency exam results (TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo English Test, etc.) from applicants whose native language is not English and/or the primary language of instruction at their secondary school is not English.
