Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineering arose from the need to apply physical, chemical, and engineering principles to the processing of such varied products as fuels, drugs, foods, plastics, metals, and basic chemicals. The chemical engineering curriculum progresses from basic sciences and mathematics (with a strong emphasis on chemistry) through the engineering sciences to applications in chemical process analysis culminating in a capstone design project. Computer methods, laboratory techniques, open-ended problem solving, team approaches, and effective written and oral communication are all emphasized throughout the entire program of study.
