The BSCHEE in Chemical Engineering prepares student to deal with any situation in which changes in the chemical composition or the physical state of matter (or both) are involved and, hence, finds unusually wide application. Heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, chemical reaction kinetics, and process control constitute the heart of chemical engineering. This program has two concentrations, Biotechnology or Materials. The Department offers a powerful curriculum that integrates knowledge from chemistry, mathematics, physics, and biology, to educate and inspire future leaders who create, develop, and optimize technologies, processes, and materials for the chemical, energy, semiconductor, automobile, environmental, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
