Every day across the United States, we use approximately 9 million barrels of gasoline, 4 million barrels of diesel fuel, 63,000 tons of fertilizer, 350,000 tons of paper products, and 74,000 tons of plastic materials. Chemical engineers are essential in manufacturing these widely used commodities.
This curriculum focuses on examining the core principles of industrial chemical operations that convert basic materials into valuable goods. You'll discover how to implement this understanding to develop and refine chemical manufacturing methods and outputs that are productive, superior in quality, ecologically responsible, and beneficial to communities.
The program provides unique chances to plan and perform experiments with state-of-the-art laboratory instruments for chemical analysis techniques, surface science investigations, cutting-edge battery production and evaluation, and nuclear fuel research. Additionally, you'll utilize your acquired expertise to engineer and construct a miniature chemically propelled vehicle, participate in nationwide contests, and address real-world industrial challenges.
