Welcome
Chemical engineering is concerned with the development and application of
manufacturing processes wherein materials undergo a change in composition,
energy content, or state of aggregation.
The chemical engineering curriculum prepares graduates to meet the
challenges of our society. Included is a broad base of engineering and basic
sciences. To prepare students for these activities, the curriculum focuses
on chemistry, physics and mathematics (including the use of computers), with
economics as a background.
The chemical engineer applies knowledge of new products or procedures gained
in the laboratory in basic and applied research to large-scale industrial
processes. The chemical engineering curriculum provides a broad background
which offers employment in a variety of manufacturing areas.
Chemical engineering graduates are found in industries such as oil and gas,
refining, petrochemicals, pulp and paper, textiles, materials,
environmental, energy conversion, corrosion, medical, biochemical, etc.
