About this Program
- College: Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering
- Credits: 15-16 | Completed with minimum grades of C
Department Information
As Chemical Engineers, the career options for students will be diverse and exciting. Students will develop the skills needed to design processes to produce anything made by chemical or biological means, including consumer products, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, semiconductors, biomaterials, pulp and paper, polymers, and more. Chemical Engineers use their knowledge of all branches of science and mathematics (not just chemistry) to solve problems at a variety of scales—from developing materials with features at the nanoscale all the way to designing a 250-foot-tall distillation tower and everything in between.
