UTSA's Chemical Engineering program aims to equip graduates with the skills to implement chemical engineering concepts professionally, fulfill the qualifications for a rewarding career, and cultivate leadership qualities for future success. The curriculum delivers top-tier chemical engineering education through challenging coursework and cutting-edge laboratory facilities. Chemical engineers tackle diverse challenges, enabling them to positively impact their communities.
At UTSA, student achievement is our priority. Our hands-on learning approach bridges classroom knowledge with real-world applications. As part of the Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design (KCEID), you'll investigate, participate, and grow from experiences that prepare you for a global workforce. The KCEID Student Success Center offers centralized support for academic, personal, and career objectives, providing tutoring, internship connections, industry networking, and professional skill development.
The Chemical Engineering (CME) program delivers rigorous academic training complemented by practical experience in advanced laboratories. Students select two specialized electives from key chemical engineering disciplines: 1) Petroleum and Energy Systems, meeting growing industry needs, 2) Materials Engineering, supporting microelectronics and energy applications, 3) Bioengineering, combining biological sciences with healthcare technology, and 4) Environmental Engineering, addressing sustainability challenges. An additional technical elective from advanced chemistry or physics completes the requirements. The CME program employs proven teaching methods to foster analytical reasoning, collaborative problem-solving, and effective communication abilities.
