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.
